Everything you need to run your mc host business

Packed with powerful tools to grow your revenue, streamline your bookings, and boost client retention.

Deposit-First Date Reservation

Stop ‘soft bookings’. Take a deposit to lock the date, automatically confirm the booking, and send the client your payment schedule and terms. Perfect for wedding MCs and busy weekend dates.

Run Sheet & Cue Notes Capture

Collect the running order, key names, pronunciation notes, sponsor mentions, and ‘must not say’ details as part of the booking. Everything sits with the job so you’re not trawling through messages on event day.

Timing-Friendly Scheduling

Set up booking types like “ceremony to first dance”, “awards night hosting”, or “2-hour corporate compere slot” with realistic start/end buffers for sound checks, mic tests, and venue access.

Client & Supplier Confirmations

Send automatic confirmations to the client and, if needed, a separate note to venue/DJ/AV contacts with arrival time, kit requirements, and who’s introducing who. Fewer day-before panics and missed handovers.

Venue, Travel & Parking Details

Store venue address, load-in instructions, parking notes, and contact numbers in the booking. Useful when you’re doing back-to-back events and don’t have time to dig for the postcode while driving.

Packages, Add-ons & Overtime

Offer clear packages (half-day/full-day), optional extras (rehearsal attendance, script support, games segment), and an overtime rate. Clients see pricing clearly and you avoid haggling over ‘just another hour’.

The challenges every mc host faces

Dates get ‘held’ without deposits

MC work is date-driven, especially Fridays and Saturdays. You’ll get ‘Can you pencil us in?’ messages that block your diary, then nothing for weeks. Meanwhile you’ve turned away other work. You need a way to reserve dates properly, with a deposit and clear expiry on holds.

Constant last-minute changes to timings and content

Run sheets shift: speeches move, awards categories change, dinner service runs late, or the bride and groom decide they want a surprise game. When details live across email threads, voice notes and PDFs, you’re always hunting for the latest version. One missed change can make you look unprepared.

Pricing varies by format, travel, and prep time

A 2-hour corporate hosting slot isn’t priced like a full-day wedding MC role with planning calls, script writing, and supplier coordination. Add travel, early setup, rehearsal attendance, and overtime, and it gets complicated quickly. You need flexible pricing and add-ons without rewriting quotes each time.

Payment timing doesn’t match the work

A lot of the work happens before the event: planning calls, script notes, liaising with venues and DJs, and building the running order. If you only invoice after the night, you’re exposed to cancellations and late payments. You need deposits, staged payments, and clear terms upfront.

Built for real mc host workflows

A typical day isn’t just the gig. In the morning you’re replying to enquiries from the night before: a couple asking if you’re available for a Saturday in August, an events agency wanting a presenter for a product launch, and a charity committee that needs a compere for their gala. Without a proper system, you’re flicking between your calendar, old messages, and a notes app trying to remember what...

Quick Setup

Get started in 3 simple steps

Your mc host business accepting bookings in under 5 minutes

1

Create Your MC Packages and Add-ons

Set up booking options like Wedding MC (full day), Corporate Host (2–3 hours), Awards Night Presenter, or Toastmaster-style duties. Add extras such as rehearsal attendance, script support, travel bands, and overtime so pricing matches the reality of the job.

2

Set Your Availability, Buffers, and Travel Rules

Block out weekends, set realistic arrival buffers for sound checks, and add lead time between events so you’re not booking impossible back-to-backs. If you cover multiple regions, include travel charges or minimum booking values for longer journeys.

3

Start Taking Deposits and Collecting Event Details

Share your booking link on your website and socials. Clients can secure the date with a deposit and complete a short event details form (venue, timings, key names, run sheet, supplier contacts) so you’re not chasing basics later.

FAQ

Everything you need to know about our mc host booking system.

How do you handle urgent, last-minute MC bookings when someone drops out?

You can offer an “urgent replacement host” booking type with short lead times and a higher minimum fee. The client can book instantly, pay a deposit straight away, and submit the essentials (venue, timings, brief, dress code). You’ll still have everything stored in one place, even if the job comes in 48 hours before the event.

What job types can I set up as an MC host in the system?

Most UK MCs split work into wedding MC (full day or ceremony-to-first-dance), corporate hosting (hourly blocks), awards nights, charity galas, and compere work for live entertainment. You can create each as a separate booking option with its own duration, prep requirements, and pricing. That stops you quoting a full-day rate for a short stage slot, or vice versa.

When should I take payment for MC work — deposit, full upfront, or after the event?

For weddings and peak dates, a deposit to secure the date is standard and protects you from time-wasters. Many MCs take staged payments (deposit on booking, balance due 14–30 days before the event) because prep happens well in advance. For corporate clients, you can still take a deposit or require payment terms that suit your cash flow.

Does this help with wedding season and peak Saturday availability?

Yes — the system is built for date-led work where Saturdays disappear quickly. You can show availability, take deposits to lock dates, and avoid endless ‘are you free?’ messages. It also helps you manage shoulder-season enquiries and midweek corporate work without losing track.

Can I manage multiple hosts or a small team for the same business?

You can organise bookings so the right host is assigned, and avoid two people being booked for the same slot. It’s useful if you cover different regions, offer male/female presenter options, or have one person handling enquiries while others are on events. Everyone sees the same confirmed details rather than separate diaries.

How does it help convert enquiries into confirmed bookings?

Instead of long back-and-forth, you send a single link where the client can pick the right package, choose a date, and pay a deposit. That reduces the ‘we’re just checking with the venue’ limbo. Once they’ve paid, the booking is confirmed and the admin moves forward with clear next steps.

What customer communication does it cover for MC-specific details?

You can send confirmations and reminders that prompt clients for the information MCs always need: running order, key names, pronunciation notes, sponsor mentions, and supplier contacts. It cuts down on last-minute scrambling and avoids you relying on a WhatsApp thread that gets buried. You still keep it personal, but the essentials are captured properly.

Can I charge different prices for different venues, travel distances, or event formats?

Yes — MC pricing often depends on travel, parking, start/finish times, and the amount of prep. You can build packages and add-ons for travel bands, rehearsal attendance, extra hours, or late finishes. That way clients see what’s included and you’re not renegotiating every time the schedule changes.

Why iBookFast for your mc host business?

MC hosting lives and dies by the diary. One wrong entry and you’re either double-booked on a Saturday or travelling across the country for a job that was never properly confirmed. Unlike some trades, you can’t ‘squeeze in’ another event if one overruns. If dinner service runs late and speeches push back, you’re still on the mic keeping the room on side. That’s why your booking needs to be built ar...
