The Professional MC
Not just your MC...

With my Professional MC service, I’ll take care of the details so you and your guests can sit back, relax, and celebrate. Together, we’ll create a thoughtfully crafted run sheet inspired by your vision and guided by my experience. Through subtle yet meaningful connections I make with key individuals—like those giving speeches—we’ll ensure every moment flows naturally and feels deeply personal.
Whether your priority is maximising time on the dance floor or capturing heartfelt moments, I’ll help structure the evening to match your energy and style.
From start to finish, my goal is to create a reception that’s fun, relaxed, and lighthearted—no theatrics, just a warm, friendly presence to ensure your wedding night is an unforgettable celebration for you and your guests.
This package includes an inperson or virtual meeting - whichever works best for you!
