Why Hire an Emcee?

Do you need me?

Hiring an emcee for your event is as smart as wearing a warm hat and scarf in cold weather!

Here are some things I have observed at parties that could have been avoided if I were hired as the emcee!

  • The DJ starts playing music and people aren’t sure if they can dance yet or not, so they remain seated.
  • The DJ starts playing music and people feel awkward dancing, so they remain seated.
  • The food is served but people aren’t sure when they are supposed to get up and get it, so they remain seated, and confused.
  • At a wedding, the first dance between bride and groom occurred while people were still eating dinner. People’s attention was torn between eating and enjoying the ceremony.
  • At the same wedding, after the first dance between bride and groom, people went back to eating. Much later, maybe an hour after people had already begun dancing, the program started into the dances between father/daughter and mother/son. The magic that can be created from watching these dances take place and ramping up into a celebration was a bit lost.
  • Toasting opportunities were not encouraged and disorganized. People who wanted to toast their friends and family were overlooked and felt embarrassed asking.
  • The person announcing the event was difficult to understand over the microphone. Sometimes, DJ’s who are excellent at their craft, are also willing to be the emcee, but when that occurs, the announcements can be canned, dry, and seem to occur out of place.
  • The person chosen to emcee the event was nervous and quiet. While they meant well, the energy put forth changed the feel and energy of the party or event.
