Donn Gonzales - Master of Ceremonies

You've booked the band, picked the caterers and moved into the venue, now the only thing you need is someone to tie it all together. Thats where we come in!

The bride and groom spend a great deal of time preparing for their special day. By the time the day arrives a completely planned package has been put together. A large portion of that package will be placed in the hands of the Wedding MC. They should have every confidence that the individual entrusted with the task will do a good job. The bride and groom should give as much thought to selecting their MC as they would their photographer.

The bride and groom should be clear what the role of the Wedding MC entails. Typically, the MC is responsible for the wedding reception, which is held after the marriage ceremony. For a large reception the MC's duties could be many and varied. During this time the MC is the spokesperson for the bride and groom. They should be confident that he or she will represent them in a positive manner.

The MC should be chosen early to allow time for proper preparation. The bride and groom should meet with the MC often during the days leading up to the wedding. An agenda of the activities during the reception should be agreed on and documented. They should make it clear to the MC what they expect, identify specific considerations such as recognizing special guests and they should place limitations on jokes and pranks. This will ensure that nothing gets out of hand.

The bride and groom should carry a note pad with them at all times to jot down little details as they arise. There are so many things that have to be dealt with that it is very easy for some things to get lost in the process. These notes will ensure that nothing is missed and will be helpful when they meet with the MC.
