§ What exactly does an MC do?
A professional Master of Ceremony guarantees that the event will run smoothly by coordinating everyone including your guests, the catering staff, the photographer, videographer, DJ and/or band, and other entertainers.
§ Can the DJ also act as an MC?
No. We get asked this question every day. Amazingly, it is rare to find a disc jockey who is comfortable using the microphone to engage with guests and manage your event's timeline. They are masters at delivering great music - we are masters at entertaining!
§ What should I be looking for when choosing an MC?
-Experience; there is no MC school, so expertise is learned. Insist on reading some glowing testimonials.
- Adaptability; an MC should be able to adjust to various cultural traditions.
- A fun attitude; someone who with a sense of humor and celebration in the hearts of the guests.
- Humility; while the MC is charged with entertaining and engaging with guests throughout the evening, the bride and groom (or event coordinator) should be his/her primary priority.
§ What can you tell me about your services or performances that set you apart from all the rest?
Premiere Emcee has the ability to read and motivate any kind of crowd. We are capable of turning any dull event to a very fun celebration. Our professionalism, planning, preparation, and personalities are all a part of the Premiere Emcee experience. We strive to reflect exactly what our client is looking for. No matter the event, Premiere Emcee is skilled at either delivering a high energy performance or a more low key and elegant performance.
§ Is the MC required to stay for the entire event?
The MC is there before the guests arrive and is still there to bid the guests goodnight. Never hire an MC who has a history of being tardy!
§ When does the MC arrive and leave?
The MC is required to get to the venue about 1 hour before the advertised commencement to check the sound equipment and go over the event timeline/agenda with the venue staff or function manager.
§ Is a meeting beforehand necessary?
Yes. This meeting is important for the MC to formulate an idea of how the event coordinators want their event to flow.
§ Does the MC provide their own PA equipment?
Each venue is very different, but you should not need to pay for extra sound equipment such as microphones. Quite often, the MC can get by with the microphone set up supplied by the venue. Otherwise, the DJ usually has a microphone. Some MC's have purchased their own self-contained cordless microphone and receiver that allows them to speak at the same time while mingling with the crowd.
§ Does the MC need to know about the music?
Not usually. Even though the correct coordination of the MC and DJ is critical, (i.e. to fade the volume of the music up and down) specific song selection are not often critical to an MC's work.
§ What is the cost involved to hire a professional MC/Does the MC fee cover only a certain number of hours?
Unlike other MC's, we do not charge any extra money for meetings, parking, or overtime. You know exactly how much our fee is up front and our price is NOT subject to change. (i.e. there are no confusing hourly rates). You are paying for our talent, not our time.
