2. announcements. The Master of ceremony of the wedding is basically the host and communications person of the event. The course of the occasion starts with your first communication and bound you build with the audience, its very important you introduce yourself and make good use of the band before ushering in the event. when making your announcement your duty is to dish out the outline of how you want the flow of the event to follow such as, how they usher in the bride and groom when they are at the venue, where the gifts are to be placed, the pattern in which they are to spray the couple and also every personality that is required to speak at the occasion must be briefed about the amount of time allotted to all speakers, this will aid you plan your next move and ensure you are un-top of every situation.
3. Distinguish between things you'll need to announce into the microphone and things that might be ok to say to everyone as they come in the door, or by going around table-to-table and talking to everyone. If you label the presents table, for instance, you won't need to make a big to-do of announcing it every five minutes when people come in, you may also get the names of dignitaries and special guest at the event recognizing their presence at the event is a strong selling point for you, I suggest you find a pattern that aids you to make them feel appreciated for giving you their time.

Communicate with the event staff. Your goal at this event is not only to make announcement but to keep everything in check for the couple, such as the band, Dj, Cater, and drinks manager, I guess you must wonder why and what you need to do? Your duty is to introduce yourself to them, get their business details and how the order of event will follow such as when they are to serve at what time, Hear them out and accommodate their needs, as well. The reason you are getting the details of the event planners is to remind the audience about the people responsible for the efficient they are getting at the event.

Prepare for the worst situation. What happens if the catering group is understaffed? What happens if beer runs out? What if the light goes out? Come up with a few contingency plans for last-minute fixes and try and keep a positive outlook to make the event as stress-free as possible for the happy couple.
· If the groom forgot his groomsmen's presents back at the house, don't make him drive and go get it. Volunteer for the little things and you can make a big difference.
· Don't be afraid to delegate tasks. If there's a mess to be cleaned up, enlist some lazy cousins and challenge them to a can-crushing contest. Don't be pushy, but don't try and take it on all yourself either.[1]
Wedding M.c: HOW TO M.C A WEDDING
Coordinate the happenings. It can be somewhat stressful coordinating everything, making announcements, and making sure everyone gets from place to place. Still, try and remember: It's a party! Have fun, relax, and let people have a good time. Try and let people know what's supposed to happen, but if the groomsmen are boisterously toasting the groom in the corner when its five minutes past cake-cutting time, try and get into the swing of things and let loose a bit.

· Make things as simple as possible. A wedding Master of ceremony can make the night smooth sailing, or can tax everyone's fun by being too in-your-face about the little rules. Try and keep an eye on the big picture and focus on making things simpler, rather than more complicated.
Time keeping is important. The reception is where your focus should be. Remember the day is about fun, excitement and laughter but you need to get there early enough to make any last minute preparations with the staff, get everything ready and in place, and prepare yourself for the job to be done. There'll likely be a lot of things that need to happen just before the party starts, so you probably can't get there too early.
· If the ceremony itself takes place elsewhere, try and sit close to the back so you can jet out as soon as its over and head over to the reception hall.
.
Announce necessary information at the beginning of the reception. Your biggest job will happen right as the reception starts. Everyone will arrive and need to be directed to their table, place their presents, and any other preliminary things that need to happen. It's customary for the Master of ceremony to introduce themselves, go over the course of events for the evening, just before the bridal party enters, then introduce the bridal party.
· Typically, the biggest announcement you'll have to make is when the bridal party enters. You'll need to introduce them, "The new Mr. and Mrs. _____!" When the bride is seated, let everyone know they can sit down and visit for a while.
· Ensure the couple gets a good dance and standing ovation by the audience this tradition is synonymous with welcoming one into a new world, don’t miss it.
· Don’t stop remining the audience the reason why they are at the event
· Center your jokes around the couple e.g get someone to tell the story of how they met or you do it yourself, share similar experience in a humorous manner.
Let your audience play a part in your event. Invent unique games to carry the crowd along with the flow of the event, the golden chip most M.c use is the toss of the flowers, you may come up with your own games to spice up the event.
Recognize the family of both marrying couples. The key to sealing off your event is to touch every element, personality and individual present at the venue like they are the reason you where there. Remember the parents of the couple had a role to play in the event both the couple and the families present are all getting married ensure you make the marriage between them.
Dance Dance Dance and gift collection. Before you usher in the couple to come take over the stage carry everyone alone let them know that the couples dance is quite important and without them it won’t be special, collect the gift for the couple by making announcements
