MINIMUM SUPPORT SERVICES REQUIRED
For the smooth delivery of services the following are generally required: (1) Professional sound service (Event Weddings internal preferred) - such as DJ or sound engineers with cordless microphones; (2) Venue coordinator (Operations manager).

We believe that the MC is the Custodian of the room.

Presentable and not over the top
With a 10 year career as a radio presenter, Event Wedding 's lead MC Sy Chung, and also Ivy are highly engaging and interactive. We prioritise presentability and comfort of the audience without being overdramatic or over the top; we are easy to follow for a large range of audience types; and we exercise judgment to ensure that the event is appropriate and enjoyable for all. Appropriateness and enjoyableness is about exercising judgment based on audience awareness and room awareness. While this might mean high energy for some, but on other occasions the goal may be: sim     ple and pleasant, graceful and elegant or in some cases even chaos minimisation. Our experience is not just the ability to be able to do all these things, but that we can exercise judgment on what is appropriate.

Professional and Well-Managed
A wedding reception should have good energy and be enjoyable, but the highest priority is that the event must be professional and well organised. The MC is not an isolated service, but is the central hub for all things. It is the MCs responsibility to make everyone else look good, whether it's the venue, guests who are involved in presenting, all on-site suppliers, the audience and of course, the couple. This includes saying the right things, NOT saying the wrong things, drawing attention to some things and drawing attention away from some things, not putting people on the spot, helping people who have been put in the spot, talk situations out of awkwardness, and maintaining discipline without harshness. 

Personality without self-indulgence
A goal of a professional MC is not about doing a great performance, or create high energy. It is as about saying the right thing as knowing when to be quiet. We believe in authenticity and sensibleness, without unnecessary theatrics or commentary, forced emotional moments or drawing attention away from the people who matter most. 

Proper and appropriate humour, not a comedy show
A little humour, and on the spot creative responses can help guests relax and remain engaged. Where appropriate, we incorporate light-hearted observations and natural moments of humour, and not pre-prepared jokes. The goal is to create warmth and connection, not to turn the ceremony into a comedy sketch.
