A wedding emcee (MC) acts as the bridal couple's spokesperson for the night as well as the liaison between the couple, the guests, the venue staff, catering staff, and any other wedding vendors involved in the reception. They ensure the event runs as close to schedule as possible and make all required announcements, including: welcoming guests, housekeeping/house rules, introducing the bridal party and couple into the reception, introducing the cake cutting, introducing speeches, facilitating games, the bouquet/garter toss, introducing the first dance, and announcing the farewell/exit of the bridal couple. A good wedding MC basically takes the pressure off the bridal couple so everyone can relax and fully enjoy the night.
