This Wedding MC tip will make you look like a true professional when things don't go as planned…
7. Expect - and plan for - the unexpected.
We'd like to think that things will go smoothly.
Unfortunately, that's not always the case: There's no microphone. Or it doesn't work. Or there's no podium. Or the weather changes and the wedding reception has to be held indoors instead of outdoors.
It seems there's always something that can - and will - go wrong, even with the best planning.
And it's for that very reason that you should have contingency plans in place so you're not caught unprepared.
It's a sign of professionalism. And it shows you've got things under control, even when it seems like disaster has struck.
The Wedding MC's Wedding Speech Guide includes other disasters that can spoil or ruin the wedding reception, shows you how to prepare the Wedding MC Speech if one is requested by the bride and groom, and includes other Wedding MC tips.

There's nothing worse than dead air, confusion, or boredom at a wedding reception.
That's why wedding MC tip #6 is the sign of a true professional…
6. Have plenty of material - including amusing remarks - on hand to fill gaps and entertain the wedding guests.
You can never have too much material.
Always have extra jokes, stories, and comments close by in case they're needed.

This wedding MC tip applies to both the wedding mc speech honoring the bride and groom, if you're asked to give one, and also to the wedding reception program which you will be in charge of as the wedding Master of Ceremonies…
5. Practice your presentation out loud a number of times until you feel comfortable with it.
- Rehearse what you'll say when you announce the bride and groom to the wedding guests.
- Rehearse how you'll introduce the members of the bridal party.
- Rehearse your own introduction to the wedding guests so they know who you are.
- Rehearse how you will introduce those who will be giving a wedding speech or proposing a wedding toast.
- Rehearse any one-liners, quips, or jokes you plan to make during the program.
- Rehearse how you will make general announcements throughout the reception.
Practicing before the wedding reception so you feel comfortable with your material is the key to reducing your nervousness and ensuring the program runs smoothly.
