Summary

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.
