I have married over 250 couples and has loved staying on to MC for more than 35 of those weddings.
​
Take the worry and hassle of having your guests as an MC, as you can have me as your MC after I have married you.

​As your experienced MC,  I will take care of all the little details so you can relax as your day runs smoothly under my watchful eye.

​Please don't leave it up to a friend or family member to take responsibility for this vital role. Let them have fun and enjoy your day. You have them as your guest - not to work!

With me as your Wedding MC -you don't want to worry about the little details of getting everything to flow with ease. Your job is to have fun as a newly married couple.  

I know it is expensive planning a wedding so I have payment plans available to spread the costs if you prefer.  Please ask!

Jade was our amazing celebrant and MC for our wedding on January 2023.

We hummed and harred about having a professional MC, but it was the best decision we made, as all our friends and family got to enjoy our day and not have to keep checking the time.

Jade created a timeline that worked in with our venue and photographer and was on the game all day and night. It was the best day ever and we couldn't have had such a smooth event without her.

What does Jade do as a MC?

I will assist your photographer with your list and get everyone organised.

I will make sure your favourite Uncle Scott, who is content to sit in the corner with his beer in hand, is in your group photo.

I will round the troops up to make sure no one is left out... AND
​will take some stress of your photographer!

• Who will look after your guests when you are having your wedding party photos taken?
• What if there is a hold-up with the images and you are running late?
• I will liaise throughout the afternoon and evening with your venue/caterer/DJ/photographer/videographer to help make everything co-ordinated.

​You don't need to worry about the details - I will sort it!

Cate tossed the bouquet to all the single people at the wedding. Love this perfect shot from Tegan Clark Photography.

• I will guide the guests to be seated for your introduction before your reception.
• I will help the speeches to run smoothly, read out messages,
• Introduce and guide you through cake cutting.
• I will encourage photo booths and props which are always fun
• You may want a bouquet toss, garter removal or games such as the shoe game.

I will keep everything running as planned until she introduce's you to your first dance. ​
​
Then I will then sneak away and allow you to celebrate until the wee hours.

I am an experienced and professional and has a run sheet and MC outline, to make sure no details that are discussed are missed.
​ 
Don't worry - I am flexible and things can easily be adapted, if needed, as the day progresses.

Wedding MC Details:
MC time allowed is up 4 hours 30 mins from end of wedding ceremony until first dance. (If needed longer, let's chat!)

• Vendor Meal to be supplied for Jade by the couple (your photographer and videographer will need feed too)

"​Jade is a lifesaver! When our best man and MC couldn't attend our wedding, because he had covid, we freaked out as we had no one else to ask! Then we remembered Jade is also an MC.

She made everything so easy, and all our guests loved her! (We did too!)
I was still breastfeeding, and she liaised with everyone so Milly could have her feeds without holding up the meal. Jade, you removed all the stress and worked hard and our wedding was AMAZING because of you!

I had no idea what was involved as MC. When our best man saw the wedding video, he said there was no way he could have done everything Jade did. Thank you for making our day so special, Jade. We loved having you with us; everyone thought you must have known us for years with all the stories and conversations you shared. You make it so easy.

We highly recommend Jade Whaley as a celebrant and MC to everyone.

Thank you, Emma Winters xox
