The Wedding MC: A Complete Guide To Success For The Best Man Or Event Host

by Tom Haibeck, Grahame Arnould (Illustrator)

Special event planners know the importance of having a Master of Ceremonies. Someone needs to orchestrate the occasion and serve as a kind of host in welcoming guests, introducing speakers, and guiding people through the program. A wedding reception has the same requirements. It needs structure and leadership -- which is exactly what a good Master of Ceremonies can provide. Here's a handy little book to help the wedding emcee through every step in that process. It's an invaluable guide for the Best Man, a close friend or family member, a professional Disc Jockey or anyone else asked to serve as the Master of Ceremonies or make a toast at a wedding reception. It includes a wealth of advice on how to plan the reception for best results, tips on how to write and deliver a compelling toast, proven methods to deal with nerves and stage-fright, suggestions on humor (how to keep it clean but funny), ways to increase presentation power, plus a compendium of crowd-pleasing toasts, quotes and one-liners. Written by a public relations professional who has planned and emceed hundreds of weddings and special events, this best-selling book (over 50,000 copies sold) has earned rave reviews from around the world and is an indispensable guide for the Emcee in presiding over a classy, fun-filled occasion.

Alright, I only skimmed it. Decent information for MCs but desperately needs to be updated to acknowledge (1) the existence of grooms in heterosexual relationships (2) the existence of homosexual relationships. "Now that you have met with the bride and her mother..." barf.
