THE PARTY OF US
Your reception is time to let your hair down, grab a drink and enjoy your wedding day with your family and friends. I’ll make the planning process easy, ask the essential questions required to form a run sheet, a central point of communication for all your vendors and kick start the night with an electric and well organised entrance.
Why not have the same professional to host the ceremony and the reception, having already built a solid rapport with you, your wedding party and guests to ensure the night runs smoothly to ensure you’ve got your hands up in the air before you know it on the dancefloor.
The package includes additional meeting time, assistance with planning an easy-to-use run sheet, co-ordination with the venue and all vendors, planning for the entrance, speeches, dancefloor and everything in-between and services provided until the newlyweds exit the venue at the conclusion of the reception.
Available: For weddings of any size, any time or day of the week.
Please note: The MC package is an optional extra and you are under no-obligation to purchase a MC package to ensure my celebrant services.

How to build your run sheet? Start with these 4 key timings:
Guest entry/ wedding party entrances
Food timings
Sunset timings
Reception finish
These 4 key timings will build the structure for your run sheet. I'll grab all your details and help build an easy to follow, simple timeline that allows for all your formalities but ensuring the flow feels right and you have time to mingle, relax, eat, drink and plenty of time for dancing.

The role of the MC is much more than introducing a few speeches. The main role is to co-ordinate with your vendors and venues, ensuring things flow smoothly and roll with any changes may occur.
I'm here to have all the conversations you don't want or need to have.
-
I want to ensure the vibes are always good and the energy is just right throughout the reception. From a little hype during your entrance, to games, a light speech introduction to opening that dance floor I'm ensuring my minimal words are impactful and leaving the best work to do be done by the stars of your reception.

The order of your reception is an important conversation. We'll work through the run sheet together with the key timings, formalities and vibe of the night determining what order we organise your run sheet.
Newlyweds' speeches to kick off the reception have become super popular rather than being the last speech of the night. Your reception, your way!
-
One person running the ceremony and reception speaks for itself. The feedback from guests is they love the continuity of a celebrant who brings a good energy to the reception, no ice breaking just more fun.
It's one less vendor to worry about and the personalisation of your reception is not to be missed!

The ceremony and reception planning guides are extensive conversation starters, tips, tricks, ideas for things you may want to include into your ceremony or reception. Each topic has a photo and a range of ideas or options. These are to be used in conjunction with the ceremony and reception planning questionnaires so you can tell me what you like, what you don’t like and what you would like to discuss further.
These guides and questionnaires are made immediately available to all clients. The great thing about the questionnaires are they are online and can be submitted and resubmitted as many times as you please. They can help track your progress and I can check in on how you going also.

It is always my recommendation to book a professional DJ or band for your reception, they are skilled in what they do and provide good quality speakers and expertise. Each bring unique qualities to a dance floor so determine exactly what you want for your reception.
I however understand that budget restraints don't always allow for some music so Spotify playlists can work fantastically if the right preparation and equipment is used. I'll prompt you with what playlists you will need for different stages of the night.
“The whole night ran smoothly and we didn't have to worry about anything except having a good time as Matthew had it all under control.”

“So many of our guests have commented that ours was the best wedding they had attended and a huge part of that was Matthew's ability as the MC.”
