What is a Wedding Host and do you actually need one?
Can you remember the last wedding that you went to? Were there awkward gaps or silences? Did the guests get lost or miss the first dance?
Did the appointed wedding venue staff member or the designated family member make a hash out of important announcements?
If you said ‘Yes’ these are some reasons why a professional wedding host should be considered!
A wedding host is someone that can take care of all of the above and much more, I can offer you the complete peace of mind that your wedding will run exactly as you have planned it to and adapt plans where timings and other suppliers may go ‘off piste’.
The role of a wedding host is very similar to that of a professional master of ceremonies but not as formal or traditionalist as a Toastmaster. This modern approach allows for a perfect balance of tradition and personal tastes with a more subtle level of formality that is delivered in a far more flexible and personable manner.
What I can do for you
When I host your wedding, I want you to consider me as the ‘go-between/middleman/your representative. I am happy to fetch and carry to ensure you can enjoy a stress-free celebration. It has been known for me to find cigarettes, paracetamol, and safety pins! I can come dressed in smart casual, suited and booted or in the traditional red toastmaster attire.Full-Day Emcee £500
