Multi-award winning Professional Toastmaster and Master of Ceremonies
Fellow of the Guild of Professional Toastmasters
THE ROLE OF A TOASTMASTER
A professionally trained Toastmaster is an integral part and a valued tradition in British weddings. His experience and organisation ensures the day runs to time - by liaising with the banqueting manager, photographer and other service providers. His presence distinguishes your wedding, adding professionalism, sparkle and style to the occasion. By taking charge of the day, he takes away the worry and pressure of hoping a friend, relative or a restaurant manager will carry out the role - and get things right. Trust your special day to the professional! If unforeseen problems arise, they are dealt with discreetly and efficiently, often without the bride or bridegroom ever needing to know. It will give peace of mind knowing you are entrusting your wedding day to the expert.
