What a great MC actually costs.
Sydney MC fees typically sit between $800 for a shorter reception host and $2,500+ for a premium bilingual brief — with galas and corporate launches running a touch higher. Adjust the dials below for an indicative range for your event.
Six things move the dial.
Every brief is different. These are the factors we weigh when we put your quote together.
Event type
Weddings, corporate launches, galas and cultural festivals each carry different preparation and stage presence demands.
Hours and run sheet
Most events run 3–5 hours of hosting. Longer runs, multiple segments or full-day festivals scale up.
Languages
A single language is our baseline. Bilingual and trilingual hosting brings a premium reflecting the genuine fluency we look for.
Guest count
Bigger rooms ask more of a host. Hosting 60 close friends sits differently to hosting 400 guests at a corporate gala.
Day of the week
Weekend bookings sit at the top of demand. Weekday hosting is gentler on the budget.
Tier
Emerging hosts are newer to the mic. Established MCs have several years of hosting under their belt. Premium tier is reserved for senior hosts and high-profile rooms.
The right MC, hand-matched.
