MC reception script template
Running a wedding reception isn't one speech, it's a whole evening: a welcome, the wedding party walking in, every transition between dinner, toasts, first dance and cake, right through to the send-off. The job that actually matters isn't being funny, it's making sure nobody in the room ever feels an awkward silence while the next thing gets ready.
This guide gives you that whole run of show, plus everything a blank page doesn't: how to gather the names, pronunciations and timings you need from both families before the day, exactly where a line from the free generator fits into a welcome or an introduction, and how to keep the room with you between the moments that matter.
- A full reception script: welcome, wedding party introductions, transitions between every event, and the closing send-off
- A short script for gathering names, pronunciations and the couple's preferred run order from both families before the day
- Exactly how to use the free generator on this site for a welcome or introduction line, and where it goes
- Timing guidance for keeping the evening moving without rushing it

- Delivered as a full PDF guide and an editable Word document
