About

I am a modern Master of Ceremonies with a strong ability to work and hype crowds - ensuring the critical moments of wedding days (think entrances, speeches and cutting of the cake etc) are perfect for you. These moments don't get a do-over, so best entrusted to professional!

Based in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, but born in New Zealand, I moved to the north of England to pursue my passion for events and a career with a human focus. I began in North Yorkshire as the resident Master of Ceremonies for The Croft Hotel, hosting more than 200 weddings to date. You only get one shot at perfection on the big day and I pride myself on getting it right, every time.

Eythian was brilliant as our master of ceremony. He was fantastic at introducing us into the rooms and getting our guests in the right places for the timeline. He made everyone feel relaxed and comfortable. Was excellent if we need anything doing was straight on it & very professional. Would 110% recommend him for your special day.

Our wedding day at the Croft hotel

We had the pleasure of having Eythain as our mc on our wedding day, he was amazing from start to finish he got everyone in the wedding spirit an example of this was by making everyone put their napkins in the air as we walked in the room this was a nice touch and our photos came back and everyone looks so happy, his mood lifted the room throughout the whole day! We want to just thank you for the amazing service.

What a wonderful day, Eythain was lovely, attentive and very easy to chat to. As a couple we are very laid back anyway so nothing would have bothered us but the whole team couldn’t do enough for us or our guests. The day went without a hitch and was perfect in ever way. We certainly recommend ☺️

Highly recommended!!!!

I would highly recommend Eythian.
From start to finish he created an unforgettable atmosphere. His energy and charisma was infectious. His meaningful words during key moments were thoughtful and touching, making everything feel even more special.

If you’re looking for someone who can blend enthusiasm with grace, ensuring that every guest feels involved and entertained, then look no further.

Turkington wedding 2024

What can we say! He was an absolute star and made our day perfect. Professional and incredible friendly. We knew when we met him we knew our wedding day was going to run smoothly. He also was very fun to be around and we really enjoyed his presence. We had a Lord of the Rings type theme to our autumnal wedding and Eythain really fit in well with this theme with him being from New Zealand. The Croft hotel was fantastic and Eythain was incredible, we would absolutely recommend anyone to hire him.

Thank you so much

A wedding day is meant to be perfect and seamless - as you all expect. Eythain absolutely made our day more than what we could ever have hoped.

Members of the grooms family are deaf and Eythain went above and beyond for these members of the wedding party - without prompt or action. Which made our hearts so full and really just meant the world to us. So a special thank you for that.

I would 100% recommend as a MC and commend him for his skill and dedication to being Master of Ceremonies.

A Wonderful Master of Ceremonies

Was a privilege and a pleasure to have Eythan as our Master of Ceremonies at The Croft on the 5th November 2024. Professional, personable and fun, he kept things moving extremely well. Lovely guy too. Genuinely made the day even more enjoyable. Many thanks Eythan.

Eythain helped make our day perfect!

We can't praise Eythain enough. From the second we met to the second we said farewell, he was everything we needed him to be. His opening words were "you don't need to worry about anything today, just enjoy every moment - I'll make sure everyone is where they need to be and everyone does what they need to do" and he kept his word. We didn't have to think of a single thing on the day, we just got to enjoy our time with eachother and our guests. He hyped me up for my speech, calmed the nervous best man and was there within seconds whenever I needed him.

We were initially worried about being paired with an overly formal master of ceremonies and whilst he was a constant professional, he totally understood our vibe and made the day even more fun. We cracked jokes back and forwards, he bantered with the groomsmen and I even had my mam come over and say how lovely the master of ceremonies was which is always a plus.

I genuinely can't praise Eythain enough enough. He made our day stress free, fun, funny and everything ran smoother than imaginable. If we could give more than 5 stars we would. What a hero!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
