Wedding MC Speeches - How to MC a Wedding

Wedding MC speeches or Master of Ceremonies speeches carry with them a lot of responsibility.

When you are asked to be a wedding emcee you are being asked to make sure that the celebration stays on target so that the wedding couple does not have to micro-manage the details of their special day.

You make sure that the toasts and speeches and dances happen when and as they should happen.

You are the leader and signs of a good leader include knowing when to step in and maneuver the proceedings to keep the energy high and when to fade into the background so that you do not take center stage when it's inappropriate for you to do so.

One of the best guides out there for being the best wedding MC you can be is offered by Pete Miller, an experienced Master of Ceremonies. "You Can Be A Wedding MC" is comprehensive in that it encompasses vast resources such as checklists, guides, wedding MC speeches and templates, wedding MC jokes and all the obligations you as a Master of Ceremonies need to fulfill.

Here's a video of Pete introducing the wedding party.

Not only do you have to make sure that the evening is fun for all but you need to make sure that all the details happen when they're supposed to. You need to coordinate all the speeches, the cake cutting, bouquet tossing, first dance, among a myriad of other traditions that take place during a wedding reception.

Because every couple and wedding is different, one cut and dried script for performing wedding MC speeches does not exist. A lot of what your dutires will consist of depends on what the bride and groom and their families want.

Although there are times that a professional MC is hired, more often than not, the wedding emcee will be someone that is close to the bride or groom.

The person chosen to be the MC at the wedding should have a clear understanding of what the wedding couple wants and they should also have a great sense of humor and be able to speak well as they will set the tone of the evening.

As a wedding MC you should have a good arsenal of jokes to use throughout the reception. You'll need to be knowledgeable about not just the wedding couple but also about the best man, maid of honor, family members and so on.

This is why sitting down and talking with the happy couple is so important. It could be embarrassing to throw out a joke that touches on a delicate subject for the bride and groom or any member of the wedding party.

You, as the wedding MC will need to know inside and out in which order all the events of the reception should take place. So you'll want to closely coordinate things with the DJ, the caterer's, and whoever else is involved to ensure that everything takes place at the right time and in the right sequence.

Being an MC at someone's wedding is a huge responsiblity and one that should not be undertaken lightly. You'll have the power to make the event a success or a complete flop.

You need to remember that it is equally as important to give a good performance as it is to being organized to ensure that everything goes off without a hitch.

If you've never been asked to give wedding MC speeches before the enormity of the task before you can be intimidating. You'll need various aids to help you avoid any mistakes and to make sure you don't leave anything out.
