Hosting a friend’s wedding? Here’s a wedding emcee script template tailored to traditional Singapore wedding celebrations, that you can use as a guide.

Here’s a simple wedding emcee script that includes most of the traditional items on the Singapore wedding programme—from the first march-in to the “yum seng”! It’s been adapted from my and Audrie’s own lovely wedding emcees’ scripts, and from the time I had the honour of emceeing for a couple of dear friends. This simple script is based on a traditional Singapore Chinese wedding dinner, and includes a corresponding Mandarin script. For your own celebrations, adapt the script to fit a wedding luncheon, add or remove items to suit your own programme, and personalise it with anecdotes about the couple.

Personalise this wedding emcee script to suit your own celebration. If it’s your first time emceeing, it’s natural to be nervous! When you’re nervous, your heartbeat speeds up, and you start talking extra quickly. Prepare by running through the script aloud a few times, and practising speaking really slowly in a loud, clear voice. Make sure you do a sound check before the wedding too! Happy emceeing!
