The Expert MC Guide to – Wedding Jokes, Wedding Procedures, Wedding Protocol & being a Wedding MC
Let me guess…
- You’ve been asked to be the MC at a Wedding and you would like a great guide on exactly what to do so you won’t mess it up!
- Or you are the Best Man or Father of the Bride and you want some guaranteed laughs in your speech!
- Perhaps you are thinking about starting to offer your services as a Proffesional Wedding Master of Ceremonies!
Welcome to The Expert MC, you’ve come to the right place.
My name is Timothy Hyde and I’ve been a professional MC for over 25 years and performing for a living for nearly 40. My work as an MC has taken me all over the world, to Hawaii, Cambodia, Cape Town South Africa, New Zealand, Australia and the USA. (You can read more about exactly what I do further down the page if you are interested.)
Over the last 15 years we have been helping people around the world become better at performing the role of MC at Weddings and other events and also make brilliant Wedding Speeches. We have helped them via our Resource Website, Educational Material, thriving Online Community and personal recommendations. (You can download our free resource pack further down the page if you are interested.)
Many of these people were just like you!
Ok, here are some common scenarios and our recommended Resources for each …
Scenario 1 You have been asked to be an MC at a friend or family members wedding.
But you’ve never done it before and really don’t want to mess it up.
1/ My first Recommendation is Mark Livingston’s How to Be a Fun Wedding MC
You want to know exactly what to do and when to do it. But above all you want the Wedding to be FUN!
This is a slightly more expensive option than the first but if you are willing to spend a bit more you will be well rewarded. Plus it’s not just an ebook, there is a huge number of bonus items – Cheat Sheets, Scripts, Reports etc.
I won’t run right through the contents list, as it’s fully described right here –

Scenario 2 You are going to give a speech as Best Man or Father of the Bride at a Wedding and you need Wedding Jokes.
This book has got a lot going for it … it’s dirt cheap and it’s packed with wedding jokes and other funny stuff.
You’ll have to gauge your audience a bit about which ones you use and when you use them, but a great thing about this is that the authors also give you extra advice on how to tell some of the jokes really well. They have a background in Stand Up Comedy and share some real insider secrets.
I actually use a couple of these jokes in my own comedy work on luxury cruise ships – (Queen Mary 2, Silversea & Crystal Symphony)
Now, you might read or hear that this book has received some criticism on two main points.
Firstly, that some of the wedding jokes in it could easily be found on the Internet. Well this is probably true, “some of the jokes,” but as already mentioned the authors spend quite a bit of time also explaining when to use particular jokes and how to effectively tell them. If you are not a natural joke teller, this advice is priceless.
The second criticism is that “some” of the wedding jokes are inappropriate for MC’s to use. I tend to agree with this. In my own MC work I seldom tell many jokes at all but always generate lots of laughs. I feel however, the book has plenty of material that is really useful if you are delivering a speech at a wedding, as the Best man or Father of the Bride, both of whom are usually expected to provide a few laughs and gentle ribbing of others. There is also some material that an MC could use with the right audience at the right time. So I think it’s a mistake to write off the whole book, especially considering it’s price. You can get a Kindle Edition of this!

Scenario 3 – You are interested in entering the world of the Professional Wedding MC
What an fantastic job! Surrounded by excited people, in beautiful locations, with food and drink AND you get paid to be there!
In all the niches within the world of the MC, the Wedding MC Business is in some ways the easiest to understand.
The role of the Wedding MC is quite clear and once you get a foot in the door and do a good job at every Wedding you do, there are other prospects there. People planning their own weddings or helping someone who is. The Wedding MC community is also quite tight and friendly. They often pass on assignments to their colleagues if they can’t fill a certain date. There is also the possibility of providing or co-ordinating other entertainment at an event e.g DJ services or floor show and some MC’s also move into the field of Wedding Celebrant as well.
But the essential thing is to do an excellent job at every assignment!
