Awesome service
I was a little nervous about sourcing a good band baja and dhol for my son’s wedding. Davinder was amazing! excellent customer and really reassured me on what I would expect on the day by showing me videos. Follow up calls and messages to keep me in the loop was great. Highly recommended

What does a compere or MC do?

A compere or MC hosts your event from the stage: welcoming guests, introducing speakers and acts, running awards, filling gaps and keeping the night to time. A good host makes the whole event feel organised and relaxed.

Hosts can be polished and formal for an awards ceremony, warm and funny for a family day, or in character, such as a ringmaster for a circus theme. They work closely with your running order and your AV team.

Where it works best

Awards ceremonies
Running categories, winners and timings.
Conferences
Linking speakers and sessions.
Family fun days
Hosting games, shows and announcements.
Circus themes
A ringmaster to introduce every act.
Gala dinners
Auctions, raffles and speeches.
Weddings
A host to keep the day running smoothly.

Tips from our team

1
Share the running order early
A host who knows the plan can keep everything on time and smooth over any changes.
2
Brief them on names
Speakers, winners and VIPs should come with correct pronunciations.
3
Plan the microphones
Agree radio mics and stage cues with your AV team before the day.

Frequently asked questions

How much do comperes and mcs cost in Banbury?

Every booking is quoted individually, because the price of comperes and mcs depends on availability, your date, location and travel, how long you need them and your exact requirements. Send us your date and venue and we will come back with clear options. Quotes are free with no obligation.

Can the host run our awards?

Yes. Send the running order and categories and the host will prepare their script.

Can the MC be in character?

Yes. A ringmaster, a 1920s host or a themed character all work. Tell us your theme.

Does the MC need a microphone?

Yes. Most venues or AV teams supply radio mics. We confirm the setup in advance.

Which venues near Banbury can hold a large Asian wedding?

On our list, Heythrop Park (up to 800 guests) and British Motor Museum (up to 600 guests) can take 400 or more guests. Tell us your venue and numbers and we will plan comperes and mcs around the space.

Do venues around Banbury have sound limits for dhol or music?

Many hotels and country houses set a sound limit or an end time, and some ask for unplugged dhol indoors. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we will check its rules before we confirm anything.

Which postcodes around Banbury do you cover?

All of OX15 and OX16, including Bloxham, Bodicote, Cherwell, Hook Norton and Deddington, plus the rest of Oxfordshire and nearby Middleton Cheney, Shipston-on-Stour, Southam and Chipping Norton.

What time will the comperes and mcs arrive, and how will they look?

They arrive smartly dressed and on time, usually 30 to 45 minutes before the performance, so they are ready the moment you need them. We share arrival times and a contact number with you before the day.

Are your comperes and mcs vetted and insured?

Yes. Every partner is vetted by our team before they are listed. They hold public liability insurance and certificates, carry out risk assessments, and any electrical equipment they bring is PAT tested. Venues often ask for these documents and we can supply them.

How far in advance should I book comperes and mcs?

For weddings and summer weekends, book as early as you can, ideally several months ahead, as the best dates go first. We can often help at short notice too, so it is always worth asking.

Do you cover Banbury and the rest of Oxfordshire?

Yes. We book comperes and mcs in Banbury, across Oxfordshire and the whole of South East, for venues, homes and outdoor events.
