The Reception Director
What is the Reception Director’s Role?
The wedding celebrations that are the most fun are a series of entertaining events that happen in sequence. In accordance with your unique and creatively-crafted reception plan, and of course your personal style, the primary role of the Reception Director is to assure this indeed is what you and your guests experience.
“Good entertainment always requires someone to fill the role of the director, whether the entertainment in question is an exciting, fast-paced movie, or an unforgettably fun wedding reception. But, far too often at wedding receptions, these duties are overlooked or are taken on by someone without the best qualifications for the role. If you want your reception to be a fun, smooth-flowing, and entertaining celebration, it is vital that you select someone who is well-qualified to serve as the director. This decision, more than any other, can have the greatest impact on whether your guests get bored and restless, or whether they enjoy themselves so much that they’ll find themselves commenting that yours was truly The Best Wedding Reception…Ever!” (from The Best Wedding Reception…Ever! by Peter Merry)
—> What is a Wedding Entertainment Director™?
With all that has been planned and prepared from an entertainment perspective, it’s the responsibility of the event director to assure it all comes off in a manner that achieves the desired result. In actuality, it is he who “drives” the reception! He needs to see that all the bases are covered, and hence the outcome of the celebration rides on the back of his ability to effectively stage and present whatever the bride and groom choose to feature.
