Wedding MC runsheet FAQs
Who should create the wedding runsheet?
The couple should agree the schedule with the venue and key suppliers. The MC then works from the final version.
How detailed should it be?
Include times, names, announcements, music cues and who is responsible for each transition without scripting every sentence.
Can the DJ also MC?
Yes. A combined DJ and MC can simplify coordination when the package and event format suit it.
