According to your own wedding style and budget, determine whether the MC is hired by yourself or introduced by the wedding company, and the time to book in advance.
If it is arranged by a wedding company, the newlyweds only need to meet with the wedding emcee half a month before the wedding and put forward their own requirements. Regarding the wedding creativity and various details, the MC will communicate with the wedding planner in depth and obey the whole wedding planning plan, so the newlyweds don't have to worry too much. However, if the wedding emcee is hired by himself, the couple should book their wedding emcee at least six months to three months before the wedding, and communicate the wedding plan and the effect you need to achieve, especially in the wedding season.
Note point 2:
When meeting for the first time, are there any ways to judge whether the emcee is qualified for his own wedding?
1, the basic qualities of the master of ceremonies: whether the standard Mandarin is fluent, whether the image and temperament conform to the wedding style, whether the manners are appropriate, whether they have good communication and expression skills, and whether they have rich knowledge of wedding customs. The emcee can be plain-looking, but his temperament and conversation should conform to the wedding atmosphere you want.
2. Age and experience: Although the young emcee is the current trend, the composition of wedding guests should be considered. If the prospective couple is young and the guests are mainly young people such as classmates and colleagues, you can consider the emcee of similar age. If there are many elders, you should still consider a more mature host. At present, people choose to be between 30 and 50 years old. And mainly male hosts.
3. Work experience: including the length of time engaged in wedding ceremonies, whether it is full-time wedding ceremonies or part-time, and how many weddings a * * * has presided over. Work experience is a reference to the professional background you need to know, but it is not the most important condition for choosing a master of ceremonies. The more experience, the better. Some emcees may have more than ten years of hosting experience and many activities in a year, which may make them more likely to fall into the same pattern, or they may not accept the new wedding fashion trends that are changing with each passing day in recent years. Choosing what suits you is the most important thing.
4. Watch the video hosted before: See if the host's hosting in the wedding ceremony is smooth, whether the typhoon is natural and decent, whether the atmosphere can be fully mobilized, whether the language civilization has no vulgar and indecent paragraphs, and whether it is too self-expression to steal the limelight of the newcomers. The less experienced emcee was warm and generous when they met in the early stage, and as a result, they were a little nervous after they took the stage. If a friend thinks that a master of ceremonies did a good job at his wedding, that's best.
5. Do you have a sense of responsibility when communicating? Whether it can be customer-oriented. Can you listen carefully to your wedding ideas and requirements, provide experienced suggestions, reasonably adjust his accustomed wedding process according to your situation, and solve some problems for you seriously and responsibly? If you find that he is always absent-minded, unhurried, or obsessed with the process he is used to, you'd better change people as soon as possible.
Note the third point:
Details and requirements that need to be communicated with the wedding master when signing the contract.
1, the general reservation is based on signing a contract and paying a deposit, and oral agreement is not insurance.
2. About half a month before the wedding, the MC should meet and communicate with the couple, and it is not recommended to communicate too early. If it is the peak season, there may be six or seven ceremonies a month, and some even go to the scene in the morning and afternoon. If the communication is too early, the MC may not remember the details. In addition, all requirements and confirmation details should be written down.
It is better for the MC to attend the rehearsal the night before the wedding. On the wedding day, he will be present before the arrival of the couple, debugging the sound system, testing the microphone and other preparatory work, and guiding the guests to welcome the couple.
4. In the past, many wedding emcees had to accompany the couple to toast, and there were still drunken things on the scene. At present, most emcees will leave the scene after all ceremonies are completed, and it is a common professional ethics not to eat or drink at the scene, not to take guests' belongings without permission, and not to ask for red envelopes. This should be confirmed with the MC or the wedding company in advance.
5. If there is a process made by the planner, you can show it to the master of ceremonies. There are also family backgrounds and special circumstances, such as not wanting to show that two people know each other at work, or one of them is a single-parent family, and most of the guests are soldiers, business people or civil servants. It helps the MC to grasp the scene.
Note the fourth point:
Mistakes that newcomers should avoid when choosing a host.
1, a famous host is not necessarily suitable. Don't judge until you have seen the live video or the scene. There are also hosts of radio and television stations. Although there is no problem in voice and image, the hosts who record and broadcast programs may not be so skilled in on-the-spot and contingency, and they are not very professional in wedding culture.
2. Young emcees and female emcees should be carefully selected. China people still think that marriage is an important event in life. If the host is much younger than the newcomer, especially the big scene with many guests, it will be a bit unbearable.
3, the video is mainly to understand the voice of the MC, typhoon and whether it is nervous, whether it is too self-expression, whether it can mobilize the atmosphere at the scene, whether there is indecent language, etc. Doesn't mean the wedding will be exactly the same. A good host can combine Chinese and western styles and make different adjustments according to the characteristics of newcomers and the level and age of guests.
4. Moderate creativity, emphasizing teamwork. At present, most weddings are coordinated by wedding planners. If the master of ceremonies flashes and doesn't communicate well with the planners, the music, lighting, beautiful dance effects, even the supervisor, the bride's secretary and the person who opens the door will be affected, causing confusion. Therefore, it is best not to improvise or maneuver, and all details are confirmed in advance to ensure smooth and complete.
