How to grow your payments app with event MCs and hosts

At weddings, birthdays, launches, graduations and corporate events, an MC or host keeps the day running and the crowd entertained. Good MCs are booked months ahead, take a deposit to hold the date and expect the balance before or on the day, and they often work alongside DJs, caterers and planners. Chasing balances and keeping track of bookings takes time. A payments app that sends deposit links, takes the balance by phone and gives clients a clear record can win MCs, and every couple, family and company that books them sees your app.

Take a deposit to hold the date
Sending a payment link for the deposit as soon as a date is agreed confirms the booking and stops double bookings.

Get the balance before the day
A reminder with a payment link a week before the event means MCs arrive paid and can focus on the day, not on chasing money.
Grow through the events team
MCs work alongside DJs, caterers, decorators and planners at every event. When they all take payments through your app, one wedding can bring several businesses onto it.
