Confused about how to know what infomation everyone needs?

You can google alot of this infomation as well as if you are on facebook add DIY Brides Australia and ask questions that are troubling you.
But to answer your question a MC is the main person who runs your reception, so therefore he will have a timeline given to him or her prior to the day that you have both worked through. The information will include a list of speeches, cake cutting, dinner etc, if you have not had a engagement party you can have him/her read how you met and more about you as a couple. A MC also welcomes the guests to your wedding and thanks them for attending. 

Hello Tennessee,

Dont panic most couples are a little confused when it comes to the wedding day 'timeline' and run sheet/s. 

Strictly speaking your time line should start from the minute you and the bridal party wake and start your prep - do not forget the groom and groomsmen prep and process here too. 

This includes time lines for the make up and hair artisans, photographer and videographer, transport, the travel time to the ceremony site, photography etal at the ceremony site , transport times and procession to the recepetion and then the 'run sheet' for the reception which is vital to ensure the venue and staff , bridal party , suppliers , vendors and your guests know exactly how you wish your 'schedule' to run.

Music - no matter if its a 'live' band or 'recorded' or a mix of both is a key factor in the 'time line' and 'run sheet' as the music directs tempo, pace and flow of the reception from your guests arrival to your grand entrance, through to the food and beverage servery, the first dance, cake cutting and fianlly the departure. 

If you have not partnered with a wedding planner for the 'planning' phase you can still contact a wedding planner of choice for options as to an 'on the day coordination' service or simply a 'consulting service' - by hourly rate to help you sort out the days timeline and critical 'run sheet'. The wedding planner can brief the MC too.

Hope this information is helpful to you and your partner -  for more wedding planning tips you can check out our 'blog/s on our website or even call us at LUXE.

Have a truly wonderful and unforgettable day.

Cheers,

Hi TennesseeSpanos

Yes - organising your wedding can be confusing especially when you are down to the line on times for your reception.  We find that the best way to plan your reception is to decide on what is happening at your party:  when will you be entering the room, are you having speeches and if so how many, do you plan to throw your bouquet and your garter, when will you do the cake cutting, and what about your first dance?  All these things should be thought through, a timeline written out, and a copy given to your MC, your caterer, your venue manager and your wedding coordinator.  It usually works best if there is one runsheet and everyone has a copy and knows what to do when.

A good wedding planner / coordinator should be able to pull all that together for you.

Feel free to give me a call if you want any further tips.

Happy planning

Gill
