Wedding reception emcee script how to#

`Our second bridesmaid, Mary Jo Zimakowski has known Winona since they were in high school together and as usual, Mary Jo says she has Winona’s back. Let’s hear it for wee Emmeline!’ (wide applause) Gentlemen, Emmeline is single and taking a break from her career as a ballerina to concentrate on bringing home a gold medal at the next Olympics for gymnastics. `So without further ado and just a little nepotism, we have Winona’s younger sister Emmeline Walker our first bridesmaid. If the Bride and Groom chickened out, it’d be two of you tying the knot in their place! There’s a sobering thought.’ They are the understudies for the Bride and Groom. `Now we come to the Bridesmaids and Groomsmen. Let’s hear it for Orlando.’ (wide applause) We can’t wait for his speech and wise counsel.

He also assures us, he really is the best man. He’s there put his body on the line for his friend. The Best Man isn’t just there to pass the ring to the groom. `Now we come to our Best Man, Ladies and Gentlemen, Orlando Jones by name. A tremendous grip on the woman as well! Let’s hear it for Auntie Morag.’ (wide applause) In Morag’s case, she’s also the Bride’s Auntie. It’s been said that a Morag is chosen for her ability to outthink, outrun and generally outwrestle anything with up to eight legs that stands in the way of a smooth-running wedding. `And now we come to the Matron of Honor, Morag McGregor. A big hand for Michael & Maria McGregor, Parents of the Groom.’ Derek’s parents just got back from trekking in Nepal to be here for their son’s wedding. `And now, here come the parents of the groom, looking happy and proud. I’m not saying which, you both look wonderful tonight.’ (wide applause) As you all know, the day your little girl gets married is the happiest day of the century for every doting parent and don’t they look radiant? Thank you Brian & Lily Walker, we can see where the bride got her good looks from. Put your hands together for our hosts, the mother and father of the bride. Please be on your feet as we welcome the bridal party. We thank you for this place in which we dwell, for the love that unites us, for the peace accorded us this day, for the hope with which we expect the morrow, for the health, the work, the food, and the bright skies that make our lives delightful for our friends in all parts of the earth. ‘Dinner will commence very soon, so we ask that everyone make their way to their seats and make your selves comfortable as we begin our celebration with a wedding prayer.’ A WEDDING PRAYER Lord, behold our family here assembled. McGregor & her husband Derek, to be your Emcee tonight and they would like to extend their thanks for attending their nuptial celebrations tonight.’ My name is Robert, and I have been asked by our lovely bride, the former Miss Walker, now Mrs Winona

‘Good evening ladies and gentleman, friends and loved ones, welcome to Winona and Derek’s Nuptial Dinner Reception. Here is a master ceremonies guide I’ve put together to help spur your imagination. This is the framework around which you will craft your master of ceremonies wedding reception script. Before you can develop your emcee sample script, you will need your order of wedding reception timeline.

Wedding reception emcee script how to#

There are basic instructions to give a broader view on how to present each part. It is recommended the reception program and script is prepared weeks in advance so the Emcee can familiarize himself with the flow of events. A guide is just there to ensure nothing is overlooked or left to chance. Some things look good in a script but sound stiff and stilted when spoken. It is neither mandatory, nor desirable for the Emcee to quote verbatim from the script (unless both he and the script are brilliant). I have followed the general wedding reception order of events with thanks and acknowledgments to the wedding party. Bear in mind, this sample emcee script template below is only a guide.
