Should I have a friend be Master of Ceremonies at my reception?

An MC is provided as part of your package at Chateau Wyuna.  This is usually your wedding coordinator, who is trained and will perform the role professionally.  This involves welcoming guests to the venue, introducing the bridal party and announcing the formalities (ie. speeches, cutting of the cake, welcoming them to the dance floor if they are performing a bridal dance, farewelling the bride and groom, etc.).  You are welcome to provide your own MC, in which case they need to understand the significance of the role and the need to liase with the venue throughout the evening.  It is the sort of role that can look easy when it is done well, but can be cringing when not done well.  So the consideration is do you know a friend who will be reliable and competent when speaking at your reception, or should you go with the safe option of a professional?  It’s your choice.
