Secret Strategies That Turn An “Ordinary” Wedding Reception

Dear Wedding MC...

There's nothing more terrifying to a novice Wedding MC than being handed hastily scratched notes of the wedding agenda and being expected to put on a brilliant performance from start to finish...especially when you've never MC'd a wedding reception before.

After all, you don't know what to do...or what to say in front of hundreds of guests.

I'm Mark Livingston, and I’m going to show you - just like I have done with hundreds of other Wedding MCs - how you can unleash your untapped talent as a Wedding Master of Ceremonies and turn a so-so (or even a dull and boring) wedding reception into a FUN and memorable time for everyone.

And here's the best part...

You don't need years of experience as a Wedding MC to pull it off.

All you need are enthusiasm and the right "blueprint" - a carefully prepared guide that takes you by the hand virtually every step of the way from the beginning of the wedding reception to the final farewell.

Let me tell you, there's nothing more thrilling than hearing wedding guests laughing and seeing them having an amazing time...all because you were responsible for planning and creating a FUN reception.

An Ordinary Wedding Reception
Into A FUN Party!

What's so amazing is that virtually any Wedding MC - inexperienced and experienced - can turn an "ordinary" wedding reception into a FUN and memorable time with just a few simple-to-implement secrets.

It's like unlocking the secret code that ramps up a formal, dignified reception and turns it into a full-blown party…and a celebration of the newlywed's special day.

Let me show you what you'll find inside How To Be A FUN Wedding MC that will help make the wedding reception such an amazing success...

Scripts, Checklists, and Procedures That
Are Essential To A Wedding Emcee's
Success At The Wedding Reception

How To Be A FUN Wedding MC is jam packed with checklists, activities, scripts, and step-by-step procedures that guide you through the wedding reception from start to finish.

There's no guessing what you have to do…it's laid out for you from one major reception event to another.

Let me quickly recap what you'll find in How To Be A FUN Wedding MC...

Sample Wedding Reception Agenda or Run Sheet For The Entire Wedding Reception

Your lifeline for ensuring the wedding reception runs smoothly is your Wedding Reception Agenda or Run Sheet.

Without the detailed Wedding Reception Agenda or Run Sheet I provide, you'll be completely and utterly lost…and the wedding reception will limp along to its boring conclusion…and be a disappointment for the bride and groom.

Word-for-Word Wedding MC Scripts That Tell You What To Say

Don't know what to say as a Wedding MC?

Well, I have the bases covered with sample scripts you can modify and use at the reception…including word-for-word scripts for the Bouquet Toss, the Garter Toss, and cutting the Wedding Cake.

Wedding Reception Timeline To Keep You On Track

Your Wedding MC Duties begin several weeks before you finally reveal the celebration of a lifetime to the bride and groom.

Our Wedding Reception Timeline is a key stress reliever as it keeps you on track and outlines the "when to do what" sequence of events that lead up to the wedding reception.

Sample Wedding MC Welcome Speech Script (Commonly known as the Wedding MC Speech)

Now you can stand confidently in front of hundreds of wedding guests and know exactly what to say to get the wedding reception underway.

Our word-for-word script - The Wedding MC Welcome Speech Script - shows you not only how to welcome the wedding guests at the beginning of the reception but also how to get them into a party mood.

Quick Start Guide To Get You "Up To Speed" Fast

How To Be A FUN Wedding MC is thorough - it covers a wide range of wedding receptions from 50 guests to 300 or more wedding guests. (While you'll get lots of ideas, it's not designed for a small or informal wedding reception or gathering of just a few close friends and family.)

It's been carefully compiled into a comprehensive blueprint specially for the Wedding MC who wants to excel at creating a fun wedding reception.

But I don't want you to feel overwhelmed or intimidated simply because How To Be A FUN Wedding MC is so thorough.

That's why I've included a Quick Start Guide. To get you off and running to a quick start I've provided a list of key areas you MUST do to be properly prepared for your Wedding MC Duties and Responsibilities.

Plus, i've also included a special "How To Use" page that zeroes in on the critical parts to start with so you get involved in your Wedding MC Duties fast.

And there's more where that came from...

Because being a successful Wedding MC means being on top of virtually every detail up to and during the wedding reception.

That's why you'll find even more critical information and procedures for some of the most important events of the wedding reception including…

Reception Events Checklist For Preparing Your Wedding Agenda or Run Sheet

Here's how to create a working plan for your Wedding Agenda quickly and easily - a listing of virtually any main event you'll encounter at a wedding reception that you can check off and add to your own Wedding Agenda or Run Sheet.

Venue Checklist For "Setting The Stage"

The venue - and the reception room in particular - will be your "stage." That's why it's important to ensure that everything is in order and ready before the wedding guests start walking through the door.

My Venue Checklist covers the key items you should check at an indoor - or outdoor - wedding reception to ensure the reception room or area is ready for a party.

Dancing Worksheet To Get Things Rockin'

Music and dancing play such an important role in the celebration at the reception.

That's why I've created a special worksheet with events and scripts that not only turn the dancing into a party time but also provide the bride and groom with their first romantic moment together as husband and wife.

Farewell Circle Worksheet For A Loving Departure

This loving way of saying goodbye to the bride and groom is the perfect end to a fabulous wedding reception.

Our Farewell Circle Worksheet takes you through all of the steps to give the bride and groom a memorable send off.

Contingency Planning To Help Avoid Disasters

If you're like me, you like things to go smoothly.

But sometimes that doesn't happen. Delays. Bad weather. Equipment malfunctions. And other disasters.

They're all part of a wedding reception...even with the best of planning.

The good news is that unexpected "surprises" don't have to spoil a happy time at the reception when you`re prepared.

Our detailed list of 25 potential problems you could face at any wedding reception helps you plan for catastrophes that could easily ruin the bride and groom's special day.


And Much More...

...including what to say in your closing remarks...essential items to take to the wedding reception so you're fully prepared...and a final checklist to make sure you're ready for your Wedding MC Duties.

Direct The Reception
Like A Quarterback
Calling Plays On The Field

I like to think of How To Be A FUN Wedding MC in much the same way a NFL quarterback views his playbook.

A team's playbook is more than the accumulated years of knowledge and experience all neatly arranged and tabbed in a three ring binder for quick and easy reference.

It's a player's lifeblood.

It's indispensable.

And it's valuable beyond compare.

No football player would ever dream of stepping onto the field without knowing his plays from the team's playbook.

It's one of the most important things that can lead his team to victory...and the recognition and accolades that come from winning.

Just as an NFL player has to know the plays in his playbook from start to finish, so too the Wedding MC has to know the events and activities at the reception from beginning to end.

You're the reception's quarterback - the key player who oversees virtually everything at the reception from the moment the bride and groom make their Grand Entrance to their big sendoff in the Final Farewell.

Your special MC "playbook" is the gateway to lifelong cherished memories for the bride and groom and their families.

You call the plays just like a quarterback shouts out the plays on the field in the heat of battle.

And the success or failure of the reception lies squarely on your shoulders.

Without your MC "playbook" you're likely to be lost.

Without it the reception is likely to become...

Unfocused...

Disorganized...

Chaotic...

...Instead of a well-oiled machine.

Just like a quarterback's playbook, How To Be A FUN Wedding MC is sectioned off with different "plays" to make preparation of the reception quick and easy...

>> Want to get up to speed fast? Then scroll down to your Quick Start Guide.

>> Want to know what reception events to include? Look them up under the Reception Events Checklist and create your Wedding Agenda or Run Sheet using the samples already prepared for you.

>> Nervous on the day of the reception? There's no need to be because you'll be fully prepared and confident with your Reception Venue Checklist and your Wedding MC Essentials Checklist.

>> Want to know how to entertain the guests with wedding games and activities? Open up your FREE Bonus, the Wedding MC's Secret List of FUN Ideas, with more than 50 games, activities, and fun ideas, and start planning a FUN celebration.

To the Wedding MC who wants to hit the ground running and make the reception a resounding success, How To Be A FUN Wedding MC is just as important as an NFL team's revered playbook because it's...

Here's What One Novice MC Had To Say About
How To Be A FUN Wedding MC...

Hi Mark,

Just wanted to thank you soooo much for making what could have been a complete disaster a fabulous success.

Was asked to MC my nephew's wedding with 2 weeks to go.

I purchased How To Be A FUN Wedding MC in pure desperation less than 1 week from my nephew's wedding.

Totally new to public speaking with absolutely no Wedding MC experience.

The overview you gave me and, with the prompts supplied, I was able to present myself as a very professional MC.

From arriving early, meeting with the events manager and staff, marriage celebrant, photographer asking what was required of me and they were very impressed...greeting people as they arrived. Even practicing with the mic beforehand.

Adapting your plan to the actual wedding plan given to me the night before the wedding...I was able to have a complete itinerary of what was going to happen and when.

I was even prepared when the Grand Entrance music went missing 2 minutes before.

All night other MCs were coming up to me and saying, "You have obviously done this before," in my head was thinking, "Thank you, Mark."

The events manager came up to me at the end of the night (yes, I was the last one out the door) and said, "It's great to have an MC who does what he is supposed to do."

Even the next day people were coming up to me and saying my presentation was smooth.

Honestly, if I could, I'd give you a great big hug, I would.

With the utmost respect and thanks.
