A wedding is one of the most important days in life. Therefore, the bride and groom want everything to go perfectly; this is a completely natural desire. But it is impossible to implement it without careful preliminary preparation. An integral part of it is detailed conversations with the presenter and photographer. Agree, it is better to discuss everything in advance, and not in the pre-wedding rush of the last days. A lot depends on what questions you ask and what answers you receive, and first of all, whether you really get the wedding you dreamed of, or whether everything will go “as it turned out.”
Presenter experience and training
Before meeting with the presenter, read reviews about his work on social networks. This way you will find out how close he is in spirit, how other clients treat him and whether he should be trusted on such an important day. Watch the promotional videos to get a better idea of his signature style. At a personal meeting, you can finally dispel fears and doubts by boldly talking about force majeure. If the presenter has a backup plan in case of a power outage or the artists are late, he should definitely be trusted.

General impression
Usually the toastmaster invites potential clients to his home. When you arrive at a meeting, look around. If the situation inspires confidence, then you can talk about business with such a person. And if the apartment is a mess and devastation, then it is quite possible that in this person’s head there is devastation and things are not going well. So maybe you shouldn't contact him.
Also take a closer look at the presenter himself and how he looks and speaks. Compare your impressions with those you received when you watched his commercial. If they coincide, then everything is in order and the toastmaster in life is the same as in the video. If he looks better on the video, then perhaps the video has been processed and the reality in it is greatly embellished.
It’s worth taking a closer look at the toastmaster’s manner of conducting business. If he aggressively advertises himself and actively pushes his services on you, then you should be wary. Perhaps things are not going as well for him as they seem at first glance. And he lacks clients. And good presenters have no shortage of clients.
But if a person behaves in a businesslike manner, discusses not himself, but the upcoming wedding evening, is interested in the details, the number and composition of guests, or even offers to look at other presenters and compare with him, then you can talk to such a person.
Competitions
Wedding competitions largely determine how successful the celebration will be and whether the guests will like the event. For this reason, it is recommended to ask the presenter in advance for a list of proposed competitions, familiarize yourself with them and, if necessary, make certain adjustments.
Special attention should be paid to entertainment for children and the elderly, whose presence is planned at the holiday
For these categories of guests, the host must offer optimally suitable, safe and unobtrusive competition options.
How much does a wedding officiant cost?
Prices start from 3000-4000 thousand hryvnia and depend on the duration of the holiday. Experienced presenters with good reviews cost more.
Incredible, but true: in small cities it is cheaper to order a wedding host than in Kyiv or Odessa.
In summer, prices are much higher, and from October they gradually decrease by about 30%.
We advise you not to skimp on wedding specialists - disappointment will cost more. To stay within your budget, try to find your host in our Discounts section or create your own Wedding Tender.

SDE Flip Interview Questions
Our video studio occupies one of the leading positions in conducting “changeovers” in Moscow. Our advantages:
- We offer questions related to specific people or organization profiles. A list of such questions is drawn up in advance.
- We can easily improvise in each specific case. It is very important that the employee asking the question quickly understands the situation and can direct the person’s answers in the right direction.
- You don't need to ask the event host to ask questions, our cameraman can do it himself and still look presentable.
- Our editing station does not fail during installation, and this can become a problem if you order the service from a company with a regular laptop.
- We use a Sennheiser narrow-beam radio microphone to highlight speech in the general noise.
- We supplement the finished video with screensavers, slide shows, and a video sketch from the buffet table or off-site registration ceremony.
All this is at your choice and is included in the price. Installation will take 2-3 hours, depending on the choice of equipment for the entire video.
For you, a comic interview with substitution of questions will cost approximately 15,000-25,000 rubles, depending on the workload of the studio and the day of the week. Usually this is up to 7-10 questions for 10 people. The finished video is provided in MP4 format. Don't forget to agree on who will show the video and on what at the event!
Changeling questions for a wedding
Questions can be asked during the buffet while guests are waiting for the newlyweds to arrive at the restaurant, or during a photo session in the park. We will agree on a list of questions in advance, or you can leave it as a surprise to make it more interesting to watch. In the second case, you will just need to decide who you can make fun of: the groom or the guests. Before communicating with the guests, we will make a video sketch from the buffet table, and after that we will film the off-site registration ceremony and make a beautiful video out of it. See the example on the right.

Contract, conditions, fee
Before talking about the pleasant nuances of the wedding day, discuss the contract, working conditions and the host’s fee. Experienced facilitators anticipate such questions and tell the couple about all the conditions at the beginning of the meeting or in advance by phone.

Guests' attitude towards interactive activities
In order for the guests to be comfortable and fun at the wedding, you need to tell the host about their attitude towards interactive events. Everyone has a friend who is skeptical about competitions at weddings, and everyone will be better off if the host invites someone else to participate in the interaction.

Presenter Roman Klyachkin:
“At the meeting, I talk about interactive events, how I greet guests in the welcome zone and what I do at the ceremony. It is important to give specific examples of competitions and talk about the structure of the entertainment part of the evening.”
Personal "no"
You don’t have to work out a minute-by-minute timing of the evening with the host and discuss every joke or interaction. But it is obligatory to say openly what is unacceptable for you. If you absolutely do not want the wedding guests to collect money for a boy, a girl and/or a delicious piece of cake, you need to tell the host about this right away. The same goes for jokes: make taboo topics for the host that you cannot joke about with guests.

Additional services
During a wedding, you may need to have music and lighting equipment, transport, a DJ, etc. You need to check with the host in advance whether he provides additional types of services, familiarize yourself with the list, and find out the cost. If you have wishes regarding, for example, the presence of a projector or lighting equipment, you need to find out whether the host can provide them at the celebration.
Some presenters collaborate with certain musical groups, DJs, and performers, so don’t be afraid to discuss the possibility of inviting them, the cost, and decide on the repertoire in advance.
Questions for the wedding host regarding additional services
Presenter or presenter?
The leaders are usually guys. But girls are funny and colorful no less often than men. If a girl is leading a wedding, she will have one of two styles of behavior:
- In the image of “one of our own” - active, assertive, communicates without embarrassment, and immediately makes friends with guests. She will laugh contagiously and amuse even the most modest guests.
- In the image of a sophisticated intellectual. Restrained but dynamic, keeps a distance from guests, demonstrates excellent taste and good manners. She reminds me of Jennifer Lopez in The Wedding Planner. He may well become a master of ceremonies.
Tandem of a guy and a girl.
From a psychological point of view, this is the most advantageous option. Note that at the Oscars and Eurovision there are two presenters on stage: a man and a woman. They communicate, joke and look more interesting. Guests can take a break from one host and switch their attention to another. Therefore, if your budget allows, be sure to consider this idea.
Remember: the host is the face and voice at the wedding! Choose it with a clear understanding of what you are waiting for.
General wedding concept
The more information about the celebration the host has, the better. Introduce the concept at the very beginning of the conversation - talk about the venue, the ceremony (if it is planned) and the artists who will perform at the celebration; how many guests are planned and who will be more - relatives or friends; What do you want to focus on - romance or fun. There are no unnecessary details in this matter: be sure to show your vision of the ideal wedding to the host.
