Choosing the Right MC

A good MC keeps a winery reception moving: guests seated on time, speeches in order, the cake cut before the dance floor opens. In the Yarra Valley, MC work is usually offered by DJs who travel out from Melbourne and host the night alongside the music.

Booking one person for both jobs saves on fees and keeps the timing tight, since the host and the music never need to coordinate across the room.

What to expect from an MC booking:

  • MC hosting is usually bundled into DJ packages starting From $750
  • Wedding packages From $950 often include hosting as standard
  • Hosts announce the bridal party, introduce speakers and call the key moments
  • A good MC meets the couple beforehand to learn names and pronunciation
  • The MC should work from a run sheet agreed with the venue coordinator

If a friend or relative is hosting instead, a DJ can still help by handling the microphones and cueing music for each moment.
