What time will the emcee arrive

When should I schedule the pre event meeting

You should schedule the pre event meeting no less than 2 weeks before the event. This is so that the emcee has the latest programme and the conclusions of the meeting stay as current as possible relative to the event date.

What do I need to prepare for the pre event meeting

Please prepare the latest programme for the event, the background of the event, the background of any awards or special segments, and the exact names and titles of any dignitaries or speakers the emcee needs to announce.

What comes with an Emcee booking for a Dinner and Dance

An Emcee Dinner and Dance booking comes with a pre event meeting, either virtual or physical, and a 30 minute technical run before the event begins. A Dinner and Dance booking also comes with a DJ who will provide background music, audio effects, and support the emcee in game delivery.

What is the typical duration of a booking

A Dinner and Dance booking is typically in a block of 4 hours.

Is the price affected by the number of hours

For Dinner and Dance bookings, the price remains the same even if the hours are lesser. If the event slightly overruns, the price remains the same.

How many game segments are there for a Dinner and Dance

For a typical Dinner and Dance, the programme usually includes one icebreaker segment, two game segments, and a Best Dressed segment.

What do I need to prepare for the event

Please prepare game prizes for the emcee’s game segments. A good rule of thumb is about 30 prizes, although the exact number may vary depending on the emcee and the games planned. Small prizes such as $5 vouchers are usually appreciated and help the emcee raise the mood of the room more effectively.

Can I use the venue’s in house audio system

Typically, venue in house systems can be used for announcements and background music, which is usually more than adequate for basic conferences, workshops, and weddings. Most venue systems have a compression system in place that reduces the overall dynamic range of the audio output when it exceeds a certain level. This is often set just above regular vocal range. While this helps protect the venue’s audio system, it can also reduce the impact of singers, instruments, and audio tracks played by entertainers If your event includes any form of live music, such as DJs, bands, professional entertainers, or emcees with their DJs, the venue will often advise you to engage an external AV vendor. Please also note that venues equipped with ceiling speakers are generally not ideal for DJs, live bands, or any form of high impact music, as these speakers usually do not have the necessary low frequency response and bass capability.

What do I need to check with the venue if I am engaging an emcee for a Dinner and Dance event

You will need to inform the venue that you will be having an emcee with a DJ for your event and check whether the DJ can tap into their audio system. If the venue is agreeable, do let them know that the DJ will need to connect 3 XLR cables to their audio mixer.

Does Event Services Singapore supply audio systems

Yes, we do provide audio, visual, and lighting systems suitable for most events. You may also explore our Equipment Rental section for more information, or consider our Event Planning Bundles if you are looking for a more complete event setup.
