The bride's uncle will give the next toast.

The wedding host is the heart and soul of the evening. He sets the pace, maintains the right degree of fun and alcoholism, says the right words and toasts, sometimes makes even the stern Alexander cry, entertains and introduces guests, helps throw the bouquet and cut the cake.
In general, you can cope without a host, but it’s better with him.

Hosts are people too, and like all people they are different.
Some are energetic and cheerful, some are lyrical and leisurely, some may like your voice more, some less. One focuses on competitions and interactions with guests, the other works in a more conversational genre.

How to choose?
Most often, after the first conversation with the couple, we roughly imagine the format of the event and can advise which host the couple should talk to.

First, of course, you need to look at social networks and presentations, if there are showreels. Make a first impression and weed out those you don’t immediately like.
The second point is to check the available dates of those you like and schedule the first interview. This could be a video call or a personal meeting. If you do this right away with an agency representative, it will be more convenient for everyone later. We, the agency, never try to sell you something more expensive. We want to create an organic and beautiful holiday, and this is not always a matter of price.
This also depends very much on the presenter. Therefore, even on the first call, we will help you ask the host the right questions and tell you what to pay attention to after the conversation.
Point three: interview. Sometimes it happens that the presenter’s social networks and the way he looks in real life are quite different. Most likely, you on Instagram and in life are not the same thing.
Therefore, it is not always correct to choose a host based only on the visuals. A good host is also a good actor. At one wedding he can make gestures and arrange wild out, and at another he can be cozy and intimate, like an English butler. And the brightest and most hype moments may well appear on Instagram to increase reach and conversion.
That’s why it’s important to meet and talk, discuss possible celebration options and try to feel each other’s vibe. The host at a wedding should under no circumstances bother anyone, especially the bride and groom. It is important to try to chat on abstract topics, to feel how close you are to the host’s humor and presentation, erudition and ability to switch quickly.
In addition (finally, an inside!), not all hosts work the same way as they present themselves. In advanced training courses (there are such), hosts are primarily taught “brand packaging” - preparing a portfolio, social network profiles and, of course, self-presentation and technology for conducting the first meeting with a potential customer.
Therefore, there are hosts who are excellent at selling themselves when meeting people, but at a real celebration, they do not look so cheerful and confident. And it happens the other way around.
Experienced agencies (us, for example) usually know about the advantages and disadvantages of different presenters if they have already worked together, and can suggest with whom the couple will have a match.
