Why Choose a Real Broadcaster Over an Actor Doing an Announcer Voice?
Your wedding day is one of the most important moments of your life. Whether you want elegant and sophisticated bridal party introductions or high-energy, fun announcements that get your guests excited, I can help make your reception memorable. I'm Donny Baarns, a professional broadcaster with over a decade of announcing experience. While I'm known for sports broadcasting (MLB, Division I universities), I've also provided voiceovers for multiple weddings…bringing the same professionalism and energy that makes live events special.
I've called Major League Baseball for the Oakland A's. I’ve had the World Feed call for the Copa America Final, World Cup Qualifying, and been on FS1. I was featured in the New York Times for my broadcasting work. And my classic announcer voice was featured in Budweiser's tribute to Jackie Robinson.
When you hire me, you're getting authentic broadcast energy…not an impersonator.
## Perfect for Sports-Loving Couples
Many of my wedding clients are lifelong sports fans who want their reception to have the same energy and excitement as their favorite games. If you've ever dreamed of having your wedding party introduced like starting lineups at a championship game, or your grand entrance announced like "INTRODUCING YOUR STARTING LINEUP," I can bring that authentic sports energy to your special day.
Whether you want:
Full stadium announcer energy: "Ladies and gentlemen, introducing YOUR BRIDE AND GROOM!"
Elegant with a hint of sports flair: Professional polish with subtle nods to your favorite teams
Team-themed entrances: Bridal party announced as if they're taking the field
Customized with your team's style: Yankees-style classic, LA-style hype, or your favorite team's vibe
I've worked with couples who met at games, bonded over their team loyalty, or just want their wedding to feel like the biggest game of their lives. Let's make your reception unforgettable with authentic announcer energy.

I did the play-by-play for this Adidas commercial with Patrick Mahomes (“Ohhh!”, “Mahomes…what a throw! TOUCHDOWN!” from :09-:13)
I worked with Netflix’s Tudum official fansite to voice this fun thumb-wrestling promo for their “Wrestlers” show

wedding voiceover services:
Bridal Party Introductions
Classic, elegant introductions for your bridesmaids, groomsmen, flower girls, and ring bearers as they enter your reception. I can deliver these with warm sophistication or upbeat enthusiasm—your choice!
Bride & Groom Grand Entrance
Make your entrance unforgettable! Whether you want a romantic, heartfelt introduction or high-energy "INTRODUCING FOR THE FIRST TIME..." announcements that get everyone on their feet, I'll match your vision.
Special Moment Announcements
First dance, cake cutting, bouquet toss, toast introductions, parent dances—I can record announcements for every special moment of your reception so your DJ or venue coordinator can play them at the perfect time.
Custom Wedding Scripts
Have a unique entrance idea? Want to incorporate inside jokes or special stories about your bridal party? I can work with custom scripts that make your announcements personal and meaningful.
wedding announcement styles:
I can adapt my delivery to match your wedding's vibe:
Elegant & Sophisticated: Warm, professional, timeless introductions perfect for formal weddings
Fun & Energetic: Upbeat, exciting announcements that get your guests cheering
Romantic & Heartfelt: Intimate, meaningful introductions that emphasize the love and significance of the day
Over-the-Top Fun: If you want WWE-style or game show announcer energy (yes, some couples do!), I can deliver that too
Not sure which style fits your vision? We can discuss options, and I can even record a test announcement so you can hear how it sounds before finalizing everything.
how wedding announcement projects work:
Step 1: Tell Me about your vision
Email me with details about your wedding: date, style (formal/casual), number of bridal party members, and what kind of energy you're looking for. Are you envisioning elegant sophistication or party energy?
Step 2: script collaboration
If you already have your script written, send it to me…if you’re not sure, I'll help you structure your announcements. You'll need:
- Full names (and preferred pronunciations)
- Titles/relationships (bridesmaid, best man, parents, etc.)
- Any special notes you want included ("John has been the groom's best friend since kindergarten...")
- Order of introductions
Step 3: review and recording
Once we finalize the script, I'll record all your announcements. You'll get a chance to review and request any adjustments (pronunciation, pacing, energy level).
Step 4: final delivery
I'll deliver your announcements either as individual files (one per person/moment) or as a complete sequence. Your DJ or venue coordinator can easily integrate them into your reception timeline.
Pricing for wedding announcements:
Wedding announcement pricing depends on:
- Number of people/moments to announce
- Complexity of introductions (simple names vs. detailed stories)
- How far in advance you're booking (do you need Rush service?)
Most couples invest between $250-$650 for complete wedding announcement services, depending on the number of people to announce, complexity of introductions, and potential music or sound effects.

Why should I choose you over other voiceover artists?
Ever notice that most “sports announcers” in movies and commercials don’t sound very good? That’s because they usually aren’t actual sports broadcasters. They’re actors who are trying to pretend.
I’m different, because I’ve been doing the real thing for over a decade. I’ve called baseball, basketball, hockey, soccer, football, volleyball, softball, and I’ve done it on TV and radio. When you hire me, you're getting authentic broadcast energy…not an actor trying to imitate what they think an announcer sounds like. My voice was featured in Budweiser's Jackie Robinson 100th Birthday tribute, and the New York Times has profiled my broadcasting work.
I’m also versatile. I love doing all kinds of announcer-voices, and people love my work.
how far in advance should we book?
I recommend booking at least 2-4 weeks before your wedding. This gives us time to collaborate on the script, review pronunciations, make revisions, and ensure everything is perfect. Rush services are available if your wedding is sooner.
what if we need to add or change names last-minute?
Life happens! Bridal parties change. I offer reasonable flexibility for last-minute changes. There be small charges for last-minute rush changes, but I do my best to be as helpful as possible.
Do you provide music or sound effects?
If you provide music beds/tracks, I can combine them with the announcements! I’ll need to charge extra for that, but it’s definitely doable.
What file formats do you deliver?
I deliver high-quality WAV files (broadcast standard) and MP3 files (for easy sharing and web use). If you need a specific format for your venue's sound system or video editor, just let me know—I can accommodate most format requests.
can you record announcements in different languages?
I primarily work in English, but if you have bilingual announcements with phonetic guidance, I can incorporate non-English phrases. I also am conversational in Spanish, so I’m comfortable reading short Spanish scripts. For fully bilingual weddings, though, I recommend working with a native speaker for authenticity.
how do we get the files to our dj/venue?
I can deliver files via email or Google Drive in MP3 format (compatible with any sound system). Each announcement will be a separate file clearly labeled (e.g., "01_Bridesmaid_Sarah.mp3") for easy playback.
can we use the announcements for our wedding video?
Yes! Wedding packages include usage rights for your personal wedding video and memories. If you're creating content for commercial purposes (wedding videographer portfolio, etc.), we can discuss extended licensing.
Where are you located? Do you work with clients outside your area?
I'm based in Florida but work with clients nationwide and internationally. All of my voiceover work is done remotely from my professional home studio. Whether you're planning a wedding in California, Texas, or New York, I can deliver high-quality announcer voiceovers digitally.
