125 MCs and event hosts are available to book in the United States, with 354 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 $95 for a short wedding or party booking and most bookings sit around $450, with the length of the event and the amount of preparation setting the level.
Of the 125 suppliers listed here, 54 are based in the United States. The other 71 are willing to travel there.

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 the United States 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 the United States run from $95 to $1,550+, with most bookings around $450. 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 $450 (USD), with most priced from $95 to $1,550+. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

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."
Elijah Edwards #1 Google Comedy Hypnotist
"We teamed up with Elijah to offer our guests and visitors here at Waubeeka Family Campground something "New" in style to what we normally offer. We were concerned that skepticism might prevent our guests from enjoying this type of show but pleasantly, we found the exact contrary to be the result! Elijah's professionalism and attraction glared obvious immediately upon him taking the stage. He made all in attendance comfortable and thus willing to partake and the results were amazing. The show was fantastic and ALL accounts were favorable to the experience and toward a desire to have him return. Elijah performed multiple shows throughout His weekend with us and each, increasing in attendance because of the first hand recounts of the spectators of the previous shows. We are appreciative of the connection We made with Elijah and without concern, will be going forward including his show into our offered events. Thank you to Elijah and Jack for a great weekend and in advance for the relationship that will continue into the future! - Jim"

Midetush Xperience
"You were an absolutely brilliant MC at our wedding. You kept every segment running seamlessly, and we truly enjoyed your humour, quick wit, and ability to improvise. Your excellent communication skills showed through in the way you engaged guests of all ages from start to finish. Your timing was spot-on, and you handled transitions and unexpected moments with such ease.
You even went above and beyond by stepping in as a hypeman after the event, keeping everyone in high spirits and creating such a joyful atmosphere. Thank you so much for being a big part of making our day so memorable!"

Nine Digit Dave
"Dave is the best of the best. He performed for our group of Defense Department employees at a recent conference, and faced a tough crowd. Tough or not, he immediately put them at ease and had them all on the edge of their seats and laughing in no time.
Everyone agreed Dave was the absolute high point of the week-long meeting.
I've since seen Dave perform several times for both large and small groups, and he always brings his A game, along with a TON of experience. I highly recommend you let Dave work his magic for you and your event."
