The role of the Master of Ceremonies is to make certain all events at the reception move in an orderly and entertaining way.
From the very first guests to the exit of the bride and groom, the Master of Ceremonies should serve as event organizer without being the “star” of the show. A great MC knows how to keep everything moving without hogging the spotlight. If possible, having the lead singer of the band serve as the Master of Ceremonies can be a real benefit because music often punctuates and underscores many of the key events during the reception. Find someone who can orchestrate the reception and play great music at the same time. You’ll not only save money, you’ll be relieved of making certain everything runs smoothly and you’ll have more time to enjoy the festivities.
