105 MCs and event hosts are available to book in Canada, with 229 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 $140 for a short wedding or party booking and most bookings sit around $650, with the length of the event and the amount of preparation setting the level.

An 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 Canada 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 Canada run from $140 to $2,150+, with most bookings around $650. 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 for Emcees (MCs) / Comperes / Hosts available in Canada is $650 (CAD). Above you will also find a budget price and high end price. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

"Jesse and his Circus-In-A-Suitcase workshop were an absolute highlight of our Downtown Cambridge BIA event! Jesse's communication was seamless, making planning a breeze. He captivated the children with his engaging and interactive performance, leaving them smiling and excited. Beyond that, he has an incredible ability to energize the entire crowd, creating a fun and lively atmosphere. Jesse's talent and professionalism made him a wonderful addition to our event, and we can't wait to work with him again!

"I booked Stephen as a surprise for my fiancés Birthday. Stephen was very professional, kept us laughing, guessing and totally amazed the entire time. The energy was great and my fiancé couldnt stop smiling. Highly recommend for any celebration."
Illusionist Ken Margoe
"Thank you Ken Margoe for an incredible night of comedy magic. You were an absolute delight to work with and produced a high caliber and interactive show that engaged the audience."
Dr. K
"I've seen Kemin Zhang perform literally dozens of times, in a range of different settings and venues. He's equally at home doing close-up magic, playing music (in a range of styles and forms), or MC-ing a show. He possesses his own very special ability to transcend genres, forms, cultures, and creative roles to reach out and connect with an audience. He effortlessly bridges the worlds of Magic and Music, sometimes combining the two, often with a healthy dose of humor thrown in. He is a magical, musical Jack-of-all-trades, capable of assuming the throne of a King of Comedy, very comfortable playing the role of Joker when appropriate, and who is always a true on-stage Ace in the Hole."
Alex Ranahan – Conference MC & Awards Host
"We had the pleasure of having Alex Ranahan as the host of our Amazon Masters Summit in London.
Alex brought incredible energy, professionalism and excitement to the stage. He kept the audience engaged throughout the entire conference, made every speaker feel comfortable and handled the transitions between sessions so naturally. Alex created such a fantastic experience for everyone! Our guests are still talking about him!
It was such a pleasure and so comfortable to work with you, Alex. You’re responsive, perfectly prepared and I could tell you were genuinely invested in making the event a success
Thank you so so much! You’re quintessentially amazing!"
