Your grand entrance sets the tone for the whole night. Get it right, and the energy carries straight into dinner, toasts, and that first big dance floor moment.
Thank you for reading this post, I look forward to hearing from you soon! :-)
This version is polished and fast—a 60-second build that feels cinematic without turning into a marching band parade. You’ll pick one song, one drop, and I’ll cue the room so the cheers hit right when you do.
60-Second MC Script + Cues (plug-and-play)
-
Music (pre-roll, –00:10): DJ starts your entrance song at a mid-energy point (no vocals yet).
-
MC (–00:08): “Friends and family—let me hear you! Please rise and make some noise!”
-
MC (–00:06): “Welcome your wedding party!” (Wedding party jogs in pairs; DJ keeps music under, no mic over lyrics.)
-
MC (–00:03): “Hold that energy… doors ready… photographers set…”
-
DROP (0:00): DJ hot-cues to your big chorus downbeat.
-
MC (0:00–0:05): “INDIANAPOLIS, MAKE SOME NOISE FOR…” (ride the swell)
-
MC (0:06): “FOR THE FIRST TIME AS MARRIED—[BRIDE & GROOM NAMES]!”
-
Cheer & Pose (0:06–0:14): Couple hits the doorway pause → center floor → 2-beat spin or dip.
-
MC (0:15): “Keep it going! Hands up—left side! Right side!” (crowd call-and-response for 8 seconds)
-
MC (0:24): “Grab a shot! Photographers, one more… and we’re landing the plane.”
-
Music duck (0:28): DJ drops volume to 20% under.
-
MC (0:30): “Find your seats—dinner service begins shortly. You crushed that entrance!”
Song choice: Single track with a clean, obvious chorus drop (≈124–128 BPM). Think modern pop/EDM or pop-country with a big first chorus.
Lighting: Bright for faces at reveal, quick sweep on chorus, then settle.
Camera note: Pause in the doorway (3 seconds) + center floor (5–8 seconds) = perfect coverage.
The List
-
Pick one entrance song with a clear chorus downbeat (no slow intro).
-
Decide your name style (first names only vs. full names).
-
Practice a doorway pause and a center-floor pose (spin/dip/high-five).
-
Set a hot-cue at the chorus (your DJ will do this; you approve the moment).
-
Ask VIPs to stand and cheer on your names (maid of honor + best man lead).
-
Keep the wedding-party run-in tight—pairs move continuously, no speeches.
-
Tell photo/video: doorway (3s) → center (5–8s); shoot wide, then tight.
-
Give the DJ a wrap signal (subtle hand circle) if you want to land faster.
-
Choose the post-entrance flow: straight to dinner or quick “welcome & thank you.”
-
If you’re shy, let the crowd call-and-response carry the hype—MC will lead it.
Quick FAQ
Q: Can we intro the whole wedding party by name?
A: You can, but energy drops fast. Consider: “Welcome the wedding party!” as one wave—save the full intros for toasts if you love them.
Q: What if the room isn’t high-energy?
A: We’ll stack the deck: brighter lights at reveal, MC call-and-response, and a chorus everyone knows. Works every time.
Q: Can we use two songs?
A: You can—but one strong track with a perfect drop is cleaner and keeps your video edit tidy.
