About the audition

A wedding reception compere audition shows how well you can lead a personal celebration without making it about yourself. The panel looks for warmth, careful timing, respectful humour and good coordination with the couple, families and suppliers.

How to prepare

  1. Practise welcoming two families in a way that feels warm and inclusive.
  2. Build clear transitions for entrances, speeches, food service, games and cake cutting.
  3. Prepare clean audience interactions that guests can decline without embarrassment.
  4. Think through how you would fill a delay without announcing private problems.
  5. Rehearse checking names, titles and family preferences before the reception.

Common mistakes

  • Using jokes about appearance, relationships or private family matters.
  • Pressuring shy guests to dance, speak or join a game.
  • Ignoring the planner or DJ and making announcements before suppliers are ready.
  • Talking through photographs, meals or moments the couple wants guests to enjoy.
