Frequently asked questions
Can a drag queen legally marry us?
Yes. Dakota Fann'ee is a registered marriage celebrant, which means she can lawfully conduct and solemnise your ceremony, and then host your reception and perform. One artist can carry your whole day.
What is the difference between an MC and a celebrant?
The celebrant conducts the ceremony and legally marries you. The MC hosts the reception, runs its flow and keeps the timeline on track. With Dakota you can have both in one person, or just the part you need.
What does a wedding MC actually do?
Welcomes guests, introduces the couple and bridal party, cues speeches and formalities like the first dance and cake cutting, guards the run sheet, and liaises with your venue and vendors so you can relax and enjoy the day.
Do you cater to same-sex and LGBTQIA+ weddings?
Absolutely, and proudly. A celebrant and host who is one of us brings genuine warmth to same-sex weddings, commitment ceremonies, civil unions and anniversaries. This is the heart of what we do.
Can the entertainment be tasteful and suit all our guests?
Yes. We scale everything from tasteful and family-friendly through to full cabaret, agreed with you beforehand, so it suits grandparents and your wildest friends alike.
Is there live singing, or is it karaoke?
Live performance. Dakota is a live-singing drag queen, so the vocals are a genuine show moment, not guests on a karaoke mic.
How much does a wedding MC or entertainment cost in Sydney?
Syd Showgirls Every booking is priced individually for entertainment and hosting, with full ceremony-and-reception packages quoted to your day. As market context, professional wedding MCs in Australia commonly range from around $500 to $1,500 for a reception. Tell us your day and we will send a tailored quote.
How far in advance should we book?
Popular hosts and performers are often booked six to twelve months ahead, especially for peak season and Saturdays, so it is never too early to check your date.
Are you insured?
Yes. Syd Showgirls carries $10 million in public liability insurance, and we can provide a certificate of currency for your venue.
