What Events Usually Require A Master of Ceremonies

Almost any event that you can conceive of, will benefit from the skills and entertainment of a qualified Master of Ceremonies (Emcee). A professional Emcee has the ability to engage an audience, organize events, and make sure that a schedule is kept throughout.

Here are just a few events that can make use of an Emcee.

Talent Competitions

It could be a competition for dance, music, cheerleading, martial arts, you name it and an Emcee can bring it to another level. Almost every type of arts/talent competition will use an Emcee to help announce the next act, provide entertainment between performers, and ensure that the schedule of events is kept on track. In addition, an Emcee will be the one to announce finalists and winners at the finale of the competition.

Conference Events

Conference events will typically have keynote speakers, presentations, and even live entertainment to engage conference goers. It doesn’t matter if the conference is for corporate, or even fandom purposes, an Emcee will almost always be present. Typically the Emcee will be in charge of announcing the next step of the conference to attendees, and in some occasions the Emcee will even remain on stage to provide engagement with the speakers. You will see this in conference panel events, where an Emcee will act as an ‘interviewer’ and moderator of the panel, for example.

Wedding Banquets

Wedding banquets are designed to be a celebration of the union between two loved individuals. After the wedding ceremony itself, a banquet will usually be held as a celebration of the union, and to provide entertainment for wedding guests. Live music, speeches, and even DJs will often be present. Emcees are very popular at weddings as they can engage with guests, make them laugh, and introduce the next person on stage to present whatever it is they have prepared for the Bride and Groom.

Corporate Events

Corporate events, such as luncheons or even corporate outings, are all designed to engage and unify teams. They typically involve entertainment, team building exercises, games, and sometimes live entertainment. Whether it be a company BBQ, or a full on corporate engagement, an Emcee will likely be there to help things run more smoothly.

The term Emcee literally means ‘Master of Ceremonies’ for a reason. When it comes to any ceremony, of any kind, an Emcee makes it their job to guide and direct the flow of events. In almost any event you can imagine, the use of an Emcee will greatly improve the experience that the guests are having. So if you are planning an event, of any kind, you should make sure that you have a top-notch Emcee there to manage it. You would be surprised at how many things a fun, professional, an organized Emcee can do to improve the quality of your event greatly.
