Variety Entertainers in BasingstokeAn 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 Basingstoke, England, United Kingdom 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 Basingstoke run from £75 to £900+, with most bookings around £340. 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 Basingstoke, England, United Kingdom is £340 (GBP). Above you will also find a budget price and high end price. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.
Guy McDonald
"It is my pleasure to provide this testimonial for Guy McDonald, who served as Master of Ceremonies for the SACIG & SAAA Conference Gala Dinner held in Cape Town in May 2026.
As a Professional Conference Organiser, I work with a variety of speakers, entertainers, and MCs throughout the year, and Guy was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the moment he took to the stage, he brought professionalism, warmth, humour, and an exceptional ability to engage the audience.
Guy quickly connected with our delegates and expertly tailored his style to suit the audience. His timing, humour, and interaction were spot on, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere while maintaining the professionalism appropriate for a healthcare conference. His games and audience engagement were particularly well received and contributed significantly to the success of the evening.
In addition to his performance on stage, Guy was well prepared, easy to work with, and demonstrated a genuine commitment to ensuring the event was a success.
The feedback received from delegates and organisers alike was overwhelmingly positive, and I would have no hesitation in recommending Guy McDonald as an MC for corporate events, conferences, gala dinners, and special occasions.
We look forward to working with him again in the future."

Peter Mills Magic
"My mother hired Peter Mills in 2000 for my son's 8th birthday party. My son was really into magic at the time. Peter performed a great show. The kids, and my mother and myself were thoroughly entertained. I know that was a long time ago, but Peter Mills is an excellent magician and my son loved him. We saw him in a store a few years after the show. He still remembered us and doing our show he is a very friendly, warm and professional person. If you are looking for a magician to hire for whatever your event is, look no further. I guarantee you will enjoy his performance. Thank you Peter Mills for giving my son Adam one of the best and most cherished memories he has."
The Circus Arts Society
"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!

"6We had the pleasure of working with Leon and the Real Magic Productions team at the 2026 East Coast Radio House & Garden Show, and they were an absolute pleasure to work with.
Leon brought fantastic energy, professionalism and creativity to the show, and the performances were incredibly well received by our visitors. What stood out most was his ability to engage with audiences of all ages and create those unexpected moments of entertainment that really add to the overall event experience.
Leon is passionate about what he does, reliable and incredibly easy to work with. We loved having Real Magic Productions as part of the show and would happily recommend Leon and his team to anyone looking to bring something engaging, memorable and a little bit magical to their event.
