A guide to booking

Hire MCs, Comperes & Event Hosts in Austin, Texas, United States

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 Austin, Texas, 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.

Wedding MCs and Corporate Hosts

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.

What MCs Cost

Rates for MCs and comperes in Austin run from $100 to $1,500+, 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.

Photo of Greg Youngs Comedy Magician Greg Youngs Comedy Magician "Greg's magic blows me away!! How does he do that? And he's hysterically funny. More!!" Based in San Antonio, Texas (74 miles from Austin) D Koebnick Photo of Peter Mills Magic 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." Based in Tyler, Texas (204 miles from Austin) 26th July 2026 Tad Thorton Photo of Zeke Powerz Paranormal Magician Zeke Powerz Paranormal Magician "Hired Zeke to bring some energy and excitement to our annual awards dinner. We have never had a magician or MC before, and we will from now on! Zeke KNOCKED IT OUT THE PARK! He arrived early, kept things moving, presented a mind reading show that I have no explanation as to how he did what he did, and he is HILARIOUS! Already bringing him back next year! Highest recommendation!" Based in Atlanta, Georgia (818 miles from Austin) Rick Stratton - Corporate Awards dinner Photo of Daniel Craig/James Bond lookalike Daniel Craig/James Bond lookalike "Hi Bert, Thank you very much for an exceptional James Bond I was honored to have at my party. You were absolutely charming, witty and everything I was hoping for and more. Thank you for making my event unforgettable and very unique." Based in Scottsdale, Arizona (859 miles from Austin) Marina Schuster - Birthday Gala Photo of Nine Digit Dave 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." Based in Las Vegas, Nevada (1,083 miles from Austin) Steven Stuller - Department of Defense Photo of The Magic of Elliott Hitchcock The Magic of Elliott Hitchcock "Elliott Hitchcock is a wonderful magician with years of experience. He knows the art very well and delivers stellar performances and has tricks and illusions that will astound people of all ages. He's been in this business for years and can tailor a specific act around just about any occasion for you. Highly Recommended!" Based in Las Vegas, Nevada (1,083 miles from Austin) Eric Snow - Corporate Events
