Emcee Package

Emceeing is about holding the room and letting the night unfold properly. The formalities land, the energy stays right, and the party gets to be a party. This option is for couples who want their reception run with confidence, warmth, and just the right amount of fun.

All the Practical Bits

This package includes up to three hours of emceeing, designed to cover all formal reception moments.

  • A planning meeting to walk through the run sheet, key moments, and how you want the night to feel

  • Coordination with your venue, planner, and key vendors so everyone is aligned

  • Clear handling of timing, cues, and transitions, without over-scripting the night

This is the groundwork that lets the reception feel relaxed, not managed.

Planning the Night

  • Guidance on reception flow, including entrances, speeches, formalities, and the transition into open dance floor

  • Help shaping introductions so they feel natural and not awkward or overworked

  • Advice on what actually needs to be announced and what can be left alone

Structure where it matters. Space where it doesn’t.

On the Night

  • Up to three hours of confident, relaxed emceeing to cover all reception formalities

  • A steady presence that holds the room without becoming the main character

  • Comfortable crowd wrangling, from groomsmen to grandparents, without awkwardness

  • Clear, warm delivery that guests can hear and follow easily

  • The ability to read the room and adapt when plans shift, because they always do

The formalities land. The energy stays right. The night flows.

Keeping Things Flowing

  • Management of timing so speeches and key moments don’t drag

  • Smooth transitions between formalities so the night feels cohesive

  • Flexibility when the schedule changes, without drawing attention to it

You can relax knowing someone is quietly steering things when needed.
