How to MC a Wedding Reception 2024 (Walkthrough of a Wedding Introduction, Including Line Up)
My girlfriend thinks I’m the best wedding mc ever.
But what do you think?
If you’re new to the game, if you’re 40 years in, we can all learn something about connecting with guests at a wedding and MAXIMIZING the connection through a microphone.
This is my two cents in under 20 minutes as I…

I had an awesome time making this video, hope you enjoy.
a few notes:
– I don't care if you copy my wording, just drop a comment about what you plan on using! I'd love to hear what you like.
– The mic kinda sounds terrible at times, sorry about that. Apparently the Rode mic could have used a little more headroom lol
– Everyone has their own style of MCing so DON'T TRY TO COPY SOMEONE VERBATIM! Take pages from everyone's book that shares and create your own style!!

Good job homie great tips , new to the channel. I dj w/ my daughter. She is my assistant. I'm more like the assistant she makes me look good.
Thabks for sharing, my first gig is next week!!! super nervous with the MC part.
Love the audience participation, use of music (great dj) and your voice work is tops, full of energy but connects emotionally.
stealing "forever dance" lol
I enjoyed the Video man. Has anyone ever told you that you sound like Dane Cook?
I disagree with introducing yourself and your team and the company. It’s not about you it’s about bride and groom. To introduce your whole company before the bridal party is a bit tacky
This is great! I feel like we do some things similar…and I think you set some trends with this video, I'll be using that "forever dance" line. Shoulda trademarked it bro.
I've never MC'd a wedding before but I was asked to MC for a friends wedding this month. I really appreciate your tips and I will absolutely be stealing that "Forever Dance" line. That's gold! Thank you!
"Hi" suddenly makes a ton of sense in your branding. Smart, dude. I do the same thing with people who are giving speeches.
I actually posted my own intro in the Help Desk today after people asked me to share it.
I may try that forever dance thing because, damnit, I really like that. First time seeing it, too.
Do you record your full sets w/ mics direct?
Hi Jenna!!
Awesome job. Thank you
Thx Kev. Bravo 👏
Appreciate you
Bro!!!!!! Excellent video, my bro!!! Introductions are absolutely my favorite thing to do at weddings as well, and I love your energy you nail it every time!!! keep up the great work!!!
great video!!! Dude!! you might need to think of charging for this??? your dropping nuggets!!!!!
I love that you not only engage with the audience but react accordingly. So many times we as DJs just keep going regardless of audience reactions. We should respond how the audience responds and move them to where we want them to be. Great work, man!
Kevin, you are one of the best MCs I’ve watched and heard mainly because when you speak you are genuine and believable. Great pace and cadence, too!
This was a solid video man!
Great pointers man! Will use these over the weekend!
awesome video bro.
Keep them coming
Great video! got some ideas to translate into my language and try to innovate a bit!
Great video I stole some lines so you know. I believe in engaging with the crowd as well. To me after over 20 plus years I still get nervous for intros but I focus on the task and have fun. Once the intros go smoothly than I'm pumped to rock out. Thanks again Kev
DUUDE!!!! Great video brother!
MC videos are priceless! Keep 'em coming!
Great stuff Kevin, have always thought your MCing is really on point. Feel like it's something all DJs in the private event space should invest a lot of time into improving!
