For the same reason why you need a captain in an army. 🙂
Alright, we shouldn’t compare a wedding to a war, but rest assured that without a master of ceremonies, a war will break out in the home of the newlyweds. It is important to manage the crowd, otherwise chaos ensues. Why shouldn’t be your friend who is always the life of the party or the DJ (since you’ve already paid him a lot of money) coordinating your wedding? I’ll explain in detail and I’m sure you will agree with me by the end.
Let’s start at the beginning. The master of ceremonies (MC) does this as a profession. He most probably has many years of experience, he cannot be surprised, he is prepared for everything and knows the solution to every problem. And there are problems with every wedding. Well, not problems, but issues to be solved.
The wedding MC will meet you before your wedding, even several times. He will advise you, and you write the script together. He’ll tell you all the behind-the-scenes secrets of what makes a perfect wedding (you can read all about that in a separate blog post). He will not let your wedding go wrong, because a good wedding is his best reference. Your buddy is not this motivated. Maybe your DJ is.

But there is more.
The main task of an MC is to take all the burden off your shoulders on your BIG DAY and make sure you are having the time of your life with a big happy smile on your face. The MC arrives before the guests and he stays with you at least until the last programme ends. During this period, he coordinates the guests, the catering and service providers. Furthermore, he is there whenever you need him, the MC entertains and is managing the various programmes/games. A DJ or a best friend will not do that for you. The DJ is there to provide music and create a good atmosphere on the dance floor. He cannot do two things at the same time. And your best friend is there at your wedding to have fun, not to work. If you hire an MC, you can rest assured that your wedding is in good hands, but if you don’t like something he will take responsibility for it and you can ask him to change it. But what are the main tasks of a master of ceremonies at a wedding? Here is an incomplete list:
What to expect from an MC?
– an in-person meeting where you can get to know each other and select the MC whose personality is closest and most sympathetic to you
– continuous assistance from signing the contract until the very end of the wedding (scenario, choice of suppliers, programme ideas)
– an elegant look and behaviour
– welcoming the guests on the wedding day
– continuous activity at your wedding
– entertainment programmes at your wedding
– ongoing coordination of the wedding party and service providers
– a comprehensive contract to protect you from unpleasant surprises
– and most importantly, security. A dedicated MC will never let a wedding become boring or conventional. He will always find the best method to create a great atmosphere.

How should you make your choice?
When you start planning, you will surely be confronted with the fact that organising a wedding can be rather costly. This is why you need to choose the service provider as carefully as possible, which is a daunting task. What you should be aware of is that the cheapest option is not always the best one, but the most expensive one may not be the most professional provider either. It is very important for the service provider to have a good and verifiable reference. There are a great number of possibilities, as they have probably organised a large number of weddings. In Hungary there is an association of registered and certified wedding service providers. It might be worthwhile to take a look at the website below. You can be sure that none of these providers will disappoint or let you down. Click here to check the list of providers:

In conclusion, I want to share with you that being a master of ceremonies is one of the most beautiful professions on earth. You get to experience the happiest moments of very delighted people.
