[Maritime Q-Scout]

A word of advice for future Emcees out there.

Sit down with the bride and groom and discuss a plan for the evening. Who speaks when, etc.

If its a buffet ask if they need you to direct when people to eat or if the caterer will do this (seriously should be the caterer; same goes for dessert.

Then when that's done tell them that YOU run the show. Yes it's their day, but in order to make it flow well and the guests and everyone have a good time tha doesn't have a lot of confusion, they have to follow your lead, and do what you say.

I'm sure brides and grooms understand this, but be forceful and let them know that it's their day bur you're in charge of the dinner/speeches.

Nothing sucks more for an emcee with the bride and groom interrupting them, changing the game plan halfway through the dinner. Telling the emcee one thing and then doing another.
