Why do I need a Compere?

A compere is the most important part of any successful event, often overlooked by people who are inexperienced at organising events. Not having one or one with very little experience can ruin the event before it's even got started.

A Compere sets the tone and atmosphere for the evening and should be someone you warm to. They should be friendly, likable and approachable, while maintaining an air of authority. They should, if needed, be able to cover any of the inevitable glitches that arise during an event.

Say the band has a problem just before they are due to start, or a guest speaker has disappeared, or the raffle/auction prizes haven’t been prepared. These things always happen at events and need to be effectively managed so that your guests don't know there''s anything wrong.

If you have a good Compere, you will never know that there were any problems or heart stopping moments behind the scenes. A Compere can be used at almost any event, whether it be a Presentation Evening, Charity Auction, Competition or the biggest day of your life, a Wedding.
