Wedding & Event Master of Ceremonies · UK

The room follows wherever you lead it.

I'm Mathew — MC Baba Mathew. I hold the room, read the timeline, and turn your wedding or event into one the whole guest list still talks about a year later.

More than someone with a microphone

An MC's real job happens before anyone notices — timing, tone, and knowing exactly when to speak and when to let the moment breathe.

Keeps the timeline moving

Grand entrance, speeches, cake, first dance — every handoff lands on time, without the awkward dead air.

Reads every kind of room

From the grandparents' table to the dance floor, I adjust energy and humour so nobody's left out.

Works your vision, not a script

We plan together beforehand so the day reflects you — I just make sure it actually runs that way.

About Baba Mathew

For me, being an MC is about far more than holding a microphone. It's about reading the room, bringing people together, and creating moments guests are still talking about long after the day is over.

I bring energy, confidence and personality to every celebration — welcoming guests, coordinating with suppliers, keeping the day running smoothly, and getting a full room on its feet when the moment calls for it. With a strong grounding in Nigerian and Yoruba culture and real experience hosting multicultural celebrations, I adapt my style to the couple, the crowd and the moment, because no two days should ever feel the same.

Your celebration. Your people. Your moment. Let's make it unforgettable.

Questions people ask before booking

What areas do you cover?

Based in the UK and available to travel nationwide — and internationally for the right event.

Do you require a deposit?

Yes — half of the total balance secures your date, with the remaining half due two weeks before your event.

Can we meet before booking?

Every booking includes a video consultation call before anything's confirmed — a chance for us to get to know each other, hear your story, and understand you and your celebrants, whatever the event. That's where we start building your day together.

What makes you different from other MCs?

The energy on the day comes from the relationship, not a script. From the moment we meet you're not just a client — we chat, we bond, and by your celebration day it feels like family in the room. That connection is what shows up on the mic.
