What You Must Know about Finding a Wedding MC – Part 2

In the first part of this blog series, we talked about the responsibilities of a wedding MC. Now that you know what is expected of an MC, it is time to start thinking about how to find the right individual. Below are some pointers:

Ask for Recommendations

Although you can easily find professional MC services online, you should also ask for recommendations from those you know. By doing this, you can get first-hand accounts of what the MC was like and if they would recommend them. Doing this will help you weed out the bad apples and find the perfect MC for your event.

Ask for Their Work Videos

As you begin planning your wedding, you will quickly realize that there are many moving parts. One of the most critical pieces is finding the wedding MC to keep the day running smoothly. 

Once you have a shortlist of potential MCs, you should ask to see their work videos. Doing this will give you a good sense of their style and whether or not they would be a good fit for your wedding. When watching the videos, consider the following:

  • How well do they keep the crowd engaged? 
  • Do they have a good sense of humor? 
  • Do they seem like a good fit for your wedding?

Once you have reviewed the work video of the MC, you should have a good idea of who you want to hire for your big day. Be sure to communicate your expectations so they can make your wedding everything you have dreamed of.

Meet the MC in Person

Now that you have a few potential candidates for your wedding host, it is time to interview them! It is an important step in choosing the right person for the job, so be sure to ask each candidate a variety of questions. Here are some examples:

  • Tell me about your experience as an MC. 
  • What style of MCing do you prefer? 
  • What kind of weddings have you been a part of? 
  • Do you have any funny stories or anecdotes about weddings you have MCed? 
  • How do you handle difficult situations that may arise during a wedding? 
  • What do you think are the essential duties of an MC? 
  • Do you have any suggestions on how to make our wedding reception run smoothly?

By asking each candidate these questions, you will better understand their experience, style, and personality. Doing this will help you make a more informed decision about the best MC for your wedding.
