Planning your Ghanaian wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime event, a celebration of love with family and the beginning of a new chapter.
As you plan every detail including the colours of your big day, the type of food and drink, location and season of your wedding in Ghana among others, one aspect you should never compromise on is hiring a professional Master of Ceremonies (MC).
While it may be tempting to cut costs in this area using the family talkative or that church elder to host the event, a professional MC brings invaluable expertise and skills that can transform your wedding reception into an unforgettable experience.
Having an MC who is skilled at setting the perfect atmosphere for your wedding reception is one of the key highlights of engaging your Ghanaian wedding guests and making sure the audience is engaged and captivated, creating an ambiance filled with joy, laughter, and heartfelt emotions. After all that is what Ghanaian wedding ceremonies are for - happy moments.
It takes a village to raise a child but for most Ghanaian weddings, it takes an MC to raise invited adults and children for hours of unrivaled joy.
One of such experts in the Ghanaian wedding industry is Emmanuel Edem Smith known as MC Smiling Smith, a Master of Ceremonies who is also an actor, voice over artist and an event, radio and TV production strategist.
The Ghanaian MC specialises in a host of events such as wedding receptions, birthday parties, corporate events, conferences, awards gala nights, beauty pageants and fun parks.
Having hosted celebrity wedding receptions for renowned Ghanaian musician Becca and Trigmatic, MC Smiling Smith understands the concepts of what makes a successful Ghanaian wedding ceremony.
He acts as the glue that holds your wedding reception together, possessing the knowledge and organizational skills necessary to seamlessly transition between various activities such as introductions, toasts, speeches, and formalities.
