110 MCs and event hosts are available to book in Australia, with 344 reviews from real clients rating their services 5 out of 5. Many are full-time masters of ceremonies; others are comedians, magicians, radio presenters and speakers who host as part of what they do, which is worth knowing when you read the profiles, because a comedian MC and a conference host run a room very differently.
Fees start from $160 for a short wedding or party booking and most bookings sit around $750, with the length of the event and the amount of preparation setting the level.
Of the 110 suppliers listed here, 13 are based in Australia. The other 97 are willing to travel there.

Variety Entertainers in AustraliaAn MC keeps an event on time and the room with you: welcoming guests, introducing speakers and acts, making the announcements and covering the gaps when the schedule slips. MCs in Australia are booked for weddings, corporate conferences, awards evenings, product launches, charity galas and birthday parties, and the brief is different for each, so say which it is before asking for a quote.
A wedding MC runs the reception order: the entrance, the speeches, the cake and the first dance, with the couple's timings in hand and the DJ or band cued for each. A corporate host does the same job at a conference or an awards dinner, where the skill is holding a business audience between sessions and keeping a packed agenda to time. Where a formal ceremony needs announcements made to protocol, a toastmaster is the closer fit; where the room needs warming up, a comedian who hosts is.
Rates for MCs and comperes in Australia run from $160 to $2,800+, with most bookings around $750. A two-hour wedding reception costs less than a full conference day, a host who prepares custom material or attends a rehearsal charges for the preparation, and broadcasters and well-known names sit at the top of the range. Travel is usually quoted on top.
The average price is $750 (AUD), with most priced from $160 to $2,800+. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.
