Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a master of ceremony and an event presenter?

A master of ceremony specialises in weddings and formal events with a strong emotional component: they guide the ritual, introduce guests and mark symbolic moments. An event presenter typically works in more dynamic settings such as galas, award shows or conventions, where pace and entertainment take centre stage.

Can the master of ceremony also officiate the civil wedding?

Yes. Many masters of ceremony are qualified to officiate symbolic or non-registered civil ceremonies. If you need the wedding to have legal validity, a justice of the peace or authorised official must be involved, although the master of ceremony can still lead the event.

How far in advance should I book?

It is recommended to make contact at least 3 to 6 months in advance for peak season dates (spring and autumn). An initial meeting to get to know each other and define the tone of the ceremony is usually held before confirming the booking.

Does the master of ceremony provide sound equipment?

It depends on the professional. Some include a microphone and basic sound equipment in their fee; others work with the sound system already provided by the venue or the client. Clarify this point when requesting a quote to avoid overlaps or gaps in the technical setup.
