Choosing the Right MC

An MC keeps a celebration on schedule. They welcome guests, call people up for speeches, announce the entrance and the first dance, and make sure the cake is cut before the older relatives head home. On the Central Coast you can roll that job into your music booking.

DJ Bass Sick, run by Chris Totonjian, includes MC duties in wedding bookings, so the person announcing the bridal party is the same person who then fills the dance floor. That saves a second booking, a second microphone and one more person to brief. Packages start From $700 and include a small sound and lighting setup, with bigger speakers available for larger rooms. He travels to all six regions, from the Bouddi coast and Gosford to The Entrance, Wyong and the hinterland, and also takes engagement parties, milestone birthdays, formals and corporate events.

The handover between formalities and music is where receptions usually lose momentum. With one person on both, the last toast can lead straight into the first song.

To get the most out of your MC, send them:

  • A run sheet with times for the entrance, speeches, cake and first dance
  • Phonetic spellings of every name they will read out
  • Who is speaking, in what order, and roughly how long each person has
  • Any announcements the venue needs made, such as last drinks or transport

If you would rather keep music and hosting separate, compare the DJs on the Coast, or look through wedding reception planning for the day as a whole.

Common Questions About Booking an MC

Can I hire an MC and DJ as one booking on the Central Coast?

Yes. DJ Bass Sick includes MC duties with wedding bookings, so the same person runs the formalities and then plays the dance floor. Packages start From $700.

What should I send a wedding MC before the day?

Send a run sheet with times, the order of speakers, phonetic spellings of names, and any announcements the venue wants made. A short phone call a fortnight out to go through it helps too.

Does DJ Bass Sick travel to hinterland wedding venues?

Yes. DJ Bass Sick covers all six Central Coast regions, including the Central Coast Hinterland, Terrigal and Avoca, and Wyong and the Northern Lakes.

Is an MC worth booking for an engagement party or milestone birthday?

For a party with speeches, a cake and a lot of guests who don't know each other, an MC keeps things moving. DJ Bass Sick takes engagement parties and 18th to 50th birthdays as well as weddings; ask about MC duties for those when you enquire.

What does DJ Bass Sick bring for the speeches?

His packages include a small sound and lighting rig, and bigger speaker and subwoofer packages can be added. Confirm a microphone for speakers when you book, and tell him the room size.
