Common questions
Professional MC FAQ
Can I hire Ian as an MC without booking DJ services?
Yes. Professional MC services are available as a standalone service. If your venue already has music and sound covered, Ian can focus entirely on hosting.
What does a professional MC actually do?
The exact scope depends on your event, but it can include welcoming guests, introducing speakers, making announcements, transitioning between program segments, recognizing sponsors or honorees, engaging the audience, and keeping the event on schedule.
How much does MC service cost?
MC-only events are quoted based on event length, preparation, program complexity, travel, and whether sound or DJ support is needed. Contact Ian with your event details for a custom quote.
Can Ian work from our existing run of show?
Yes. Share your program, names, timing, pronunciation notes, sponsor language, and other key details in advance so the hosting can fit your event.
Do you serve events outside Tyler?
Yes. Smile & Spin serves Tyler and the surrounding East Texas area. Send the event location when you inquire to confirm availability.
