A wedding MC is the Master of Ceremonies, the person responsible for representing the couple during the reception.
Their job is to literally be the master of the ceremony (or guide of the reception if you want to think of it that way!), and introduce the wedding party, make important announcements and keep guests informed. A great wedding MC will also bring their own flair and entertainment to ensure your guests are well looked after and included within the reception.
Today we’re delighted to introduce to great Irish MC’s, Scruffy Duffy and Chris Walshe. Check their talent out below:

Scruffy Duffy – Award-Winning Wedding MC & Interactive Entertainment Specialist
Every couple wants their wedding to be remembered for the right reasons. Great food, a beautiful venue, and fantastic music all play their part, but it’s often the moments of laughter, connection, and shared memories that guests talk about for years afterwards.
That’s where award-winning Wedding MC and entertainer Scruffy Duffy comes in.
With over 30 years of experience entertaining audiences, Scruffy has developed a unique “MC During the Meal” experience that transforms the time between courses into one of the most enjoyable parts of the wedding day. Rather than guests sitting and waiting between courses, they become part of an interactive, fun-filled experience that brings the entire room together.
From sing-offs and music quizzes to light-hearted games, bridal party challenges, and unforgettable crowd participation moments, every show is tailored to the couple and their guests. The focus is always on creating laughter and energy while respecting the flow of the wedding meal and allowing everyone to feel included.
One of the reasons couples choose Scruffy is his ability to read a room. Whether entertaining 60 guests or 300, he creates the perfect balance of fun, professionalism, and spontaneity. No two weddings are ever the same.
Based in Sligo and travelling throughout Ireland, Scruffy performs at weddings in every corner of the country. His passion is simple: helping couples create a wedding atmosphere where family, friends, and generations come together to celebrate, laugh, and make memories that last long after the last dance.
If you’re looking for entertainment that is different, engaging, and genuinely memorable, Scruffy Duffy delivers a wedding experience your guests will never forget.

Chris Walshe Wedding MC Show
For me, the fun starts the moment the couple make their entrance into the ballroom. I love turning the meal itself into part of the entertainment and creating an atmosphere that keeps guests laughing, singing and fully involved right through to the end of dinner.
My style isn’t overly formal or corporate. It’s all about energy, interaction and making sure everyone has a great time. From the unforgettable entrance at the start, to playing the perfect background music and hosting wedding themed games and spot prizes, I keep the room buzzing and make sure there are no awkward lulls during the meal.
Many couples have a band for the evening, and I continue the music and entertainment after dinner until they’re ready to start. That way, the atmosphere never drops and the party is already in full swing when the band begins.
Based in Clare and travelling nationwide, I’ve entertained guests in hotels, castles, marquees and unique venues all over the country. I also offer evening DJ packages and full-day entertainment options, including ceremony and drinks reception music.
At the end of the day, I want couples to relax and enjoy every minute, knowing their guests are having just as much fun as they are.
