Wedding Script

We found out from our website statistics that many are searching for wedding reception programme so
we are putting this up for added information and resource for those who are planning their own wedding.
The following emcee script was prepared by Ivy to serve as an announcement guide for Master of
Ceremonies Mr. Donald Sabandeja and as a music cue guide for the Sound Operator during the wedding
reception at Chateau de Busay.
Since the script was only a guide containing the order of the wedding reception programme and the names
of the persons to be thanked and acknowledged, the Emcee still has the liberty of using his own personal
touch. It was not mandatory for the Emcee to say it word for word as it is written here. For those who
were able to attend the wedding, you will find that some parts were presented differently during the actual
wedding reception.
The life of the programme will entirely depend on the Emcee's preparedness, creativity and enthusiasm so
it is recommended that a copy should be given to the Emcee a few weeks before the event for him/her to
practice and to familiarize with the flow of the programme. The script also contains basic instructions on
how to go about with the events, so this will more or less give you an idea on how to present each part.
Call to Order
NOTE: Test microphone before speaking.
Good evening, ladies and Gentlemen. May I have your attention please. We are about to begin our Dinner
Reception so please find a seat and make yourself comfortable.
Let us begin this celebration with a prayer. Let us all stand, bow down our heads and put ourselves in the
presence of God. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
Opening Prayer

Love has been your richest and greatest gift to this world.
Love between a man and a woman which matures into marriage.
Today, we celebrate that love.
Lord for the joy of this occasion, we thank You.
For Your presence here and now and at all times, we thank You.
Protect, guide, and bless Wendell and Ivy and everyone present here.
Surround us with Your love now and always.
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Reception Program EMCEE Script

Below is a reception party script I used in one of the Christian Weddings I have hosted.

Joel and Iby Introduction: God is love and in some mysterious ways drawn two people together in love.
Today, love has triumph and has manifested in the lives of (Groom's Name) and (Bride's Name). Today,
we have witnessed the promise sanctified and blessed by the mighty source of love – Jesus Christ.

I welcome all of you to this banquet. This is a festivity of union. Two separate individuals have found
each other, tie the knot to become one – we therefore have to celebrate. Good morning. I'm ( Lorenzo M.
Caballes, Jr.) , I'm your host.

Grace Before Meals:

As we partake the bounties (Groom's Name) and (Bride's Name) have prepared for us, let us invoke the
presence of the Lord and thank HIM once more for His constant provision. (Prayer Leader) will say the
grace before meals.

The bond of marriage is a symbol itself. God created marriage as a symbol of His infinite love to his
people, that we may also share it with our family and to others.

In the same manner, a matrimonial ceremony would not be complete if without the observance of several
wedding traditions. As we formally send-off (Groom's Name) and (Bride's Name) to their voyage bound
to the next chapter of their lives as husband and wife, there's no other way of wishing them well but to
pray for a smooth travel. Let our prayers be heard as we perform several matrimonial traditions in a
unique Filipino way.
Slicing of Cake:

The cake is a symbol of a happy married life that the couple would enjoy from this day forward. Let us
pray that (Groom's Name) and (Bride's Name) will continue to share the sweetness of love, that they will
continue to live together with their hearts pure of joy in serving the Lord as husband and wife and as a
family.

Sharing of Wine:

The wine that the couple is about to share is a representation of life's adversities. Life indeed is not a bed
of roses, as (Groom's Name) and (Bride's Name) drink the wine, they affirm their pledge of loyalty and
fidelity even in the most trying times of their married life. Let us pray that during these moments, they
will cling to no one but to the Lord, the very foundation of their love.

Releasing of Doves:

The doves symbolize freedom and commitment. The release of these doves would symbolize (Groom's
Name) and (Bride's Name) letting go o their single life. Let us pray that like the doves, they will commit
themselves to come home at the end of the day no matter where their footsteps take them.

Other Significant Reception Program Parts:

Tossing of the Bridal Bouquet Passing of the Wedding Garter Ceremony of the Chosen Couple
Matrimonial Trade Opening of Gifts Messages

Before we depart, here's for (Groom's Name) and (Bride's Name) and for all of us: “Marriage is not a
ritual or an end. It is a long, intricate, intimate dance together and nothing matters more than your own
sense of balance.”

Congratulations and Best Wishes, Mr. and Mrs. (Groom's Name) and (Bride's Name).
