Is a Celebrant the same as an MC(Master of Ceremonies)?

So today we’re discussing a question I get asked all the time…

Question: “Is a Celebrant the same thing as an MC ie. Master of Ceremonies? Does the Celebrant do the same job as an MC? And if not, what’s the difference?”

Answer: Simple answer is No. A Celebrant, like me, is an Officiant. Someone who performs and conducts personalised wedding ceremonies. Someone who captures then tells the story of your love in a unique way after getting to know you as a couple.

An MC, like James Hasler pictured here with me at the Londoner Hotel at a wedding networking event (www.toastmasterjameshasler.co.uk), on the other hand, is the chief coordinator and communicator that links up all the elements that make up your special day. He has 30 years’ experience and he perfectly broke down what good MC’s like him do.

Throughout your special day, they focus on keeping your proceedings running to time by working closely with all your other suppliers and they will keep everyone informed, both suppliers and guests, make all announcements clearly using the correct protocols and etiquette whilst matching your personalities too.

And a Celebrant led wedding with an MC runs so seamlessly. And the more they enjoy what they do, the better. With the hundreds of ceremonies under my belt over the last 10 years I’ve conducted them, I can’t stress enough how much a good MC can make your special day stress and anxiety free.

I’m more than happy to connect you with some of the best MC’s in the industry that I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Just click the button below, or send me a message, and we can start panning your happily ever after together.
