Master of Ceremonies

Zsófi Mussó, master and ceremony officiant, wedding manager, presenter, #FrenchCeremonyMaster, wedding host. The expert in refined, clean, elegant weddings, the creator of your unique, unrepeatable wedding moments.

Hungary’s first French-speaking Master of Ceremonies and to date the only wedding service provider who, as a wedding planner and officiant, has a perfect overview of your wedding in both French and English.

“The main characters of a good wedding are the bride and groom, so a good master of ceremonies does not try to be the centre of events, but rather, by constantly managing the background threads, he always steps in where and when the dramaturgy of the event requires it.”

Which I am definitely NOT:

I am not a traditional master of ceremonies with folkloric elements;

I don't talk in rhymes, I don't make tasteless jokes and I certainly don't build games on them.

As a master of ceremonies, I depart from the usual traditions. I do not speak in rhymes, refrain from using tasteless humor, and certainly do not organize games around them.

I am not a 'ceremony master machine' who chops down 3-4 template bushels a week

who is always saying how we "used to" and how we "should", just because it's easier for him if everything is done the same way on a conveyor belt

I am not a 'ceremony master machine' who churns out 3 to 4 weddings per week, reciting the same things about 'what to do' and 'how to do it,' simply because it makes things easier when everything follows a standardized format.

If you're looking for a comedy star, I'm not the person you're looking for.

who likes to be in the centre of attention all evening, talking and telling stories.

I'm not the ideal person for you if you're looking for a stand-up comedy star who wants to be the center of attention all evening, constantly speaking and telling stories.

The French Wedding – Experience, elegance, wedding art for your big day

Have the perfect dream wedding, even in French!

What do I offer as Master of Ceremonies?

I am a great believer in making accurate plans in advance, so most of the work is done before the wedding. To do this, of course, I need you: to share your desires, dreams and ideas, so that I can build on them, using my decades of experience.

For me, no two weddings are the same!

Even if there are recurring popular programme elements that often lead to success, I always strive to tailor them to your individuality.

If the planning period has been precise enough, on your Big Day you can feel free to give in to your emotions and enjoy your wedding to the full, putting aside the stress of coordination. You don’t have to worry about time, whether everyone is in place and knows their job. In the languages of your choice (Hungarian, French, English), I will manage all formal and informal programme elements, moderate events, coordinate suppliers, check props, equipment and timings.

Pay attention to the dynamics of the wedding: if your guests are in a good mood, chatting during a welcome, aperitivo, standing reception, or partying and dancing, you don’t force them to play games or program elements. However, if it requires support to boost morale, feel free to intervene.

Ideally, I’m also your wedding planner as much as you need me to be: helping you with the day of the wedding, choosing the service providers, other organisational tasks or full wedding planning and if you also entrust me with the role of the ceremony, then everything is perfectly in one hand. After all, after all that planning together, who better to know and represent your wishes than me!

Wedding planning

Planning a wedding for the first time is a complex enough task, even if all the guests come from the same country, the same culture, speak the same language and are familiar with the local facilities and service providers. However, if you are planning an international wedding with guests from up to ten to twenty different nationalities, if you have lived abroad and can only travel a few times to organise it in person, you may have a number of - not unpleasant - questions...

French Master of Ceremonies

Hungary's first French-speaking Master of Ceremonies, a specialist in French-Hungarian international weddings...

Ceremony officiant

A wedding ceremony that is truly about you! You are a couple of different nationalities and mother tongues and one of you is French? Are some of your guests and family members native French speakers? Don't you want a large number of your guests, even your most important family members, to sit through a wedding ceremony that they don't understand? Wouldn't you like your wedding to be a Hungarian ceremony, interpreted into a foreign language, where everything is understood in words, but one nationality and its customs take a back seat?

About me

I am Zsófi Mussó, founder of French Wedding: French-speaking Master of Ceremonies, wedding planner, and ceremony officiant specializing in international weddings. Wife and mother of two inimitable sons. These are the roles that give me credibility when I represent the celebration of the birth of a family.

I am based in Budapest and work on assignments all over Europe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you only do weddings in French?

Although I specialise in French-language and cultural weddings, I can of course also cater for weddings with other international or even Hungarian guests. In such cases, I am usually chosen by couples who value a clean, refined and elegant style.

Do you only do complex requests, wedding planning, master of ceremonies and officiating together, or can we also do sub-tasks?

Of course, you can also assign sub-tasks. I only do off-peak services alone, from October to April, or last minute, for missed dates. However, you can be the Master of Ceremonies at any time of the year and it is up to you whether and to what extent you want to be involved in the organisation.

We already have a wedding planner, but as a master of ceremonies you would be sympathetic to us, can you still do it?

Of course I am also very happy to work with other colleagues. If we find a common voice, this is not an exclusion. Feel free to contact us!

We want to have a formal wedding on the Big Day. Can you help us with that too?

Official marriages in Hungary can only be performed by a registrar employed by a public authority, so I cannot help you with this. However, I can translate the civil wedding ceremony performed by the registrar into French.

We are having a church wedding on our Big Day, can you help with the interpretation?

Church ceremonies, depending on the denomination, do not really like the presence of a lay interpreter and it is much more beautiful if the minister/priest who celebrates the ceremony can interpret it in two languages. Fortunately, pastors/priests are flexible to deliver to different locations and I have a very good relationship with a French-speaking celebrant in many denominations, so I am happy to help you find the right person. If for whatever reason we cannot find a better solution, it is of course possible for me to interpret parts of the ceremony.

Our friends are planning a lot of speeches, could you translate them?

Yes, of course. I interpret all formal and informal programme elements. In fact, I ask that you give my contact details to family members, witnesses and friends in advance. That way, if there are any surprises, we can arrange them in advance, I can calculate them into the schedule, but for you, the surprise is still there.

How can we book you?

First, please fill in the application form so that I can see your requirements. I will definitely need to meet you in person (in Budapest) or online to get a more complex picture of you. If we then mutually decide to cooperate, we will confirm the agreement with a contract. This includes the payment schedule, which depends on the type of service, but in all cases includes an advance of between 30-50%, with the final payment being made at the end of the wedding.

Do you also do assignments abroad?

Yes, I regularly take on assignments abroad in any role. I have worked in many places in France (Loire chateau, Provence, Brittany on the ocean coast) and in other countries (Switzerland, Germany, Italy). I’m also happy to travel wherever you dream your Big Day.

We want to find the cheapest provider. Are you one of them?

We strive for the best quality and to make your Big Day perfect. We cannot accept mediocre service. A lot of master of ceremonies, wedding planners and officiants focus on being cheap, which leads to terrible results. We are not one of them. Your Big Day is unique and unrepeatable, don’t leave it to beginners who have been spreading their wings for a few years. Believe me, a professional with more than a decade of experience and contacts will save you incomparably more annoyance, stress and – in many cases, with good organisation – a lot more money than the few extra percentages that his service costs. However, if you think in terms of a package and entrust us with the organisation and even the officiating in addition to the master of ceremonies, you can be sure that you will get a better price than if you choose these service providers individually.
