What languages do you speak?
Every wedding is different, and so is the audience. Therefore, it is necessary to ask the emcee what languages they speak, especially in a multilingual city like Singapore. For example, emcees Nelson and Kaitlyn Lin can entertain your guests in nine languages (English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Hakka, Japanese, Hokkien, Bahasa Melayu, Malay, and Thai). Having a multilingual emcee will benefit you if you have friends or relatives who speak another language or dialect than other guests. And we are sure that you don’t want to spend your special day translating. If you’re going to have a more traditional Chinese wedding and invite older relatives who only can speak particular dialects of the Chinese language, hiring an emcee who covers those is the perfect solution for you and your guests.
What stage size do you need?
When planning your wedding venue, consider the emcee’s space and the equipment they will bring to the stage. Emcee Linus Lee who plays the piano needs enough room to play and entertain your guests. With the seating chart tool on HitchPlanner, you can place the seats and tables for your guests and plan the stage’s position.

Do you have any additional costs not included in your package?
Planning your wedding is very exciting, but always keep your budget in mind, so you will not have any liabilities afterward. That’s why you should ask the emcee if there is any additional cost to consider. To put some weight off your shoulders, HitchPlanner offers to pay your wedding vendors in 3 interest-free instalments. Furthermore, you can ask the emcee for a personalized quote for your wedding in all languages he or she speaks.
What is your refund/ cancellation policy?
