Dear debi628-ga;
Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to answer your interesting
question.
It seems that you are not the only one who has been caught off guard
by this responsibility. Others have asked the question too so don’t
feel bad. Basically, the responsibilities will depend on how complex
the ceremonies are, the activities leading up to the ceremony and if
your responsibilities will extend to activities following the
ceremony. Routinely, the mistress (or master) of ceremonies acts as
the coordinator and director of activities, designated hostess/host
and the emcee. Here are some very good explanations of what a mistress
of ceremonies’ basic responsibilities are in many instances:

Now is not the time to guess. Bone up on your responsibilities and
what is “basically” expected of you according to tradition, then meet
with the bride (or groom, as the case may be) and find out what
“their” expectations are. They will probably be happy to tell you what
they would have you do in order to help make their weeding a memorable
moment.
