What is an MC?
During the wedding reception, the multifaceted responsibility of the Master of Ceremony (MC) is to keep the agenda flowing smoothly by:
- skillfully capturing and maintaining the attention of the wedding guests
- effectively directing their attention on whatever the bride and groom have chosen to include
- keeping the wedding attendees informed so at any given moment they know what is happening
- comfortably guiding the bride’s and groom’s friends and family so they know what they are supposed to do to participate
The role of the Wedding Master of Ceremony incorporates a wide range of skills, and those who serve in this capacity have frequently undergone extensive training in the following areas:
- Delivering Applause Cues
- Presenting Introductions
- Microphone technique
- Posture and Stance
- Voice Inflection
- Staging (theatre)
Masters of Ceremony at weddings and private events also ensure the coordination of their event, including liaison with catering staff.

Wedding Conductor
Being an Emcee on your wedding means for me to be the „conductor” of your „wedding orchestra”: vendors, venues, family, friends – and you. The real acknowledgment for me is when a groom takes this note in my wedding diary:
„It looked so easier to manage our wedding then it supposed to be. Thanks for letting us be only guest on our special day.”

Your Right (and Left) Hand
You have a list of vendors working on your wedding: event planner, photographer, cinematographer, catering staff, etc. The wedding MC’s job is to be your right hand on your wedding, having a leading role.
„I could not be happier not to be a leader on my special holiday. It was worth having someone taking this responsibilty”

The Facilitator
Having a multinational – multicultural – wedding? How to balance the Hungarian and foreign traditions without hurting anyone’s soul – especially if it’s your future mother-in-law? The wedding MC should be your guide.
„Hungarian traditions are very colorful, yet little understood by us. I was worried if we can manage all. Thanks for the guidance”
