Expert Answer

The best thing you can do is reach out. You can also go through cameo.com. If you can't have them at your wedding, you can at least pay them to create a greeting and showcase that on a projection screen to wish you well. Which is a good alternative if you're looking for a virtual component. Otherwise, reach out to their publicist.

Question

Where should the MC be while we are shooting photos?

Community Answer

That's entirely up to you, and it also depends on the venue. Usually the MC will ask you where you'd like them to set up and when, so it's probably going to be your decision.

You can make jokes when ever you want. Just make sure your jokes are appropriate and won't offend anyone. No one wants to be hurt or offended at a wedding.

Question

What order should everything be done in at the reception?

Community Answer

It is all up to you. You can always ask others what they did at their weddings. Typically, dinner is first, followed by toasts, cake, and dancing.

Question

Can an MC have their own games at a wedding?

Community Answer

Usually, it is the bride and groom that chooses the wedding games, but if you have an idea for a game you can always suggest it to them. But do not try and surprise them, they might be a bit annoyed or upset by that.

Question

Does the MC have a role during the wedding ceremony?

CageyCat

Top Answerer

No, not usually, unless the MC is also perhaps the best man. However, the best man has no real role in the wedding ceremony, except for standing there as a witness.

Question

What does an MC do at the church?

Community Answer

MC's are not usually at the church ceremony. They are usually at the reception. So MC's don't do anything at the church ceremony, and mostly work at the wedding reception instead.
