- Coordinates with the band or DJ and the photographer so everything happens on time.
- Entertains the guests and, if you like, runs games.

How much do a host and a band cost together?
Hired separately, a host costs about ₾800–1,300 and a band ₾1,000–2,000 — together about ₾1,800–3,300 for one evening. Some hosts work with their own band and offer one package.
Should the host come with a band or separately?

Can the host run the wedding in English or Russian?
Many hosts can work in two languages, but not all. Ask before booking and, if possible, watch a video of them speaking the other language.
Does a host cost more in Batumi or another city?
Travel is often added to the base fee, and for long distances an overnight stay too. Ask up front whether transport is included.
