Some hotels or restaurants may provide an "emcee" but not quite what you expect. This person will just purely make announcements when you enter, dinner begins etc. Very monotonous. Usually couples who don't engage professional emceess, will get their friends to become "emcee" for a day. Coz this friend will know you both pretty well and it's also more natural when he/she presents. Find friends who won't get stage fright. Maybe get a male and female so that it's not so frightening being on the stage alone.
For me, my friend (who's happens to be a professional emcee) is gg to emcee my wedding.
Ps. by professional, I mean they make a living out of emceeing, and the charges for a 4-hour block for a company's D&D is about $1000+++, depending on season.
