"Why my couples trust me with the mic"

---

As a Celebrant & MC I have many roles to play but they all come back to these key things outside of experience, 600 weddings later and MCing over 450 of them I can't still say I have seen it all. 

But what I have refined is. 

I read the room, for me that all begins as soon as I arrive to come and see you both, meet and greet guests and family and even housekeeping is me monitoring the personalities I have in-front of me as your guests have some fun. 

I managing the emotion, there is so so much happening in the final couple of hours before you walk down the aisle and I am there to keep you both calm, and able to take everything you are feeling in. Plus I’m pretty good at keeping those you don't want right now, away with tact.

I hold space, the biggest piece to my role is not just to be able to talk and share your story, it’s to be able to capture attention, keep guests in the moment with you in two very different ways the first as your celebrant in a space that goes quiet, at a time in the day people don't understand sets the tone of what's going to be happening next and then the reception where things get a bit more lively and the moving parts of the afternoon and evening begin. 

I Make people feel safe, calm and seen, this isn't just focussed on my couples, it also at times comes down family member and friends. As the day and night process the environment changes and I am there as that familiar person, the one who will take mum or grandma to the dance floor because they want to dance but have no one, I’m the one when someone’s causing a scene I have them under my wing to breathe and reset. 

I become the Chameleon you never know you wanted from creating your marriage, managing music, supplier and guests. I have even been known to be service drinks and canapés when needed and I will always ensure you have a drink in hand.

Because at the end of the day, the right person by your side, makes all of the difference.
