You've been asked to be the Master of Ceremonies at a wedding and you have planned the Wedding MC duties well. You are feeling extraordinarily prepared and have covered all your basis, but you get to the reception hall before the guests and discover the sound system is not working. What do you do? These are the types of Problems that can arise at a reception and you have to be prepared to address them. All of the preparation in the world can't help you if the sound system decides to play nasty on the day of the reception. In a case like this, you should have the number of the people that set up the sound system to call right away and have the matter resolved.
The reality is, some things are out of your control regardless of how prepared your are. For example, you get to the reception and everything is attractive, the cake is beautiful and better than you thought it would look. The final preparations are being prepared in the room and someone knocks into the table where the cake is placed and it comes crashing to the floor. Obviously, this is a tragedy, but you'd need to call the cake decorator straight away and see if there is anything they can do. You are there as the MC to be sure everything runs smoothly and occasionally accidents and misfortunes occur, even on a wedding.
One of the finest ways of dealing with issues which will arise at the reception is to have a list of everyone's number that is concerned in setting up the room. That way, you aren't running around frittering away time trying to get numbers, you have got everything arranged and then you can begin making the right calls. Moreover, always go to the wedding reception area before the marriage starts because folk will be heading there right after the occassion, so you'll need to make sure everything is in order.
Additionally, make sure you are the 1st one to arrive after the wedding to the reception hall, because you can double-check everything and be prepared as the guests begin arriving. While you can't envision if issues may arise, you can be prepared for them ahead of time. This way if something comes up, you stay calm and in control, which is a part of your obligations as the MC.
Finally, many have too much to drink at receptions , therefore , if you see someone that is drunk, ensure you ask someone to drive them home or take their keys away from them. Finally, don't drink too much yourself, the very last thing you need is to become intoxicated as the Master of Ceremonies because you will embarrass yourself and the bride and bridegroom. If you're frightened, have just one drink to make sure you stay alert and sober.
