Stephen was amazing as our MC! He did a great job keeping the energy up, engaging with our guests, and making sure everything flowed smoothly throughout the reception. He really knew how to work the crowd without being over the top, and he kept everyone involved and having a good time.
He also worked really well with our DJ and the rest of our vendors, which made a huge difference. The communication leading up to the wedding was great, and he was professional, personable, and easy to work with. You could tell he genuinely wanted our day to go well.
We’re so happy we chose Stephen to be our MC. He definitely helped make our reception fun, lively, and memorable, and we would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a great MC for their wedding or event!

Steve was a wonderful MC and really did a great job making our big day perfect. He was very responsive when planning the event, and during the event he was a true professional, working closely with us the whole day to make sure the day went seamlessly. He has a great emceeing style, not too hyper, not too laid back, some humor mixed in. Family friendly as well. I would recommend him to anyone!

What can I say?!? Stephen did an excellent job at hosting our wedding reception this past Saturday, 7/16/16. We met once before the big day and he took all of our worries away – we only had 6 months to plan – but we knew we had nothing to worry about. He was always available to answer any questions I had via text, phone or email. Very professional, pleasant, amazing sense of humor, charming and made us feel like we had known him for years. Before we made our entrance, he had us all hyped and made sure he had all of the names pronounced correctly which I found to be awesome of him. He was very attentive to us and made sure we were good at all times. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for someone who they can trust to provide the best service and be free of any worries. Again, thank you Stephen for helping us make our special day a memorable one.

My reception did not go as planned however the MC was one of the best parts. He kept the party alive and even in my lateness was able to keep all the guest happy. I look forward to using him again !!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge per hour, with a minimum of three hours per event.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to introduce myself over the phone or on a video call. I think it’s more personal and it allows clients to feel comfortable with me and express their event needs.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've been hired for several events (not just on Thumbtack) as well as organizing my own. My training comes from working in the television and film industry for over 10 years.
