Helpful Tips to Emcee a Wedding
In the mobile DJ business one of the most stressful type of events for an uncomfortable Emcee is a wedding. There are many different type of events an Emcee can DJ but a wedding is the most important day of two people's lives that they will remember forever. The pressure to Emcee a wedding is at it's strongest but there are a pointers and tips that can get you through tough moments.
The first step to be a successful Emcee at a wedding is to make sure you have all the information before the wedding so you can review it. The most important part of this review process is to study the names of the people being announced during the entrace. You should write these down phonetically, do not worry about the correct spelling. I am Staten Island Wedding DJ and have heard names of al sorts from all different nationalities. Mispronouncing a name at a wedding can be embarassing and effect your tip at the end of the night. Misprounouning the bride and grooms name I could not even imagine! Before you perform the entrance, be sure to introduce your company and the name of the venue.
After the initial entrance is done, you will announce the first dance. During the first dance you should mention the name of the song they couple selected as well as the artist. After this dance you may do speeches or parents dances, depending on what the bride and groom wanted. At this time the hardest part is over and most of the responsibilities move over to the DJ and his choice in music. The cake would be your next big announcement. During the cutting of the cake the bride and groom will cut it and then feed it to each other. There is a classic song that goes with this but this is barely used anymore so just be sure to announce what is going on and keep your guests entertained and focused on the couple.
The more you emcee, the more relaxed you will become but even the most experienced emcees feel that nervousness when that entrance starts in a wedding. Good Luck!
