                     How a Toastmaster can help

All weddings are different. That's what makes them so special. To guarantee that yours is exactly as you want it, I will be in touch with you before the event so that we can run through any special requirements that you might have for your special day.

A professional Toastmaster can make all the difference to the smooth running of your wedding. Just think of all the activities that take place at the Reception:

Your guests arrive. They need to be greeted and welcome drinks arranged. While this is taking place, your photographer will need help in gathering everyone for the various group photographs.

A very nice way to introduce the members of the Top Table to all to the guests is by means of the Receiving Line.

Then we come to the Wedding Breakfast itself. The timing of this is extremely important. The banqueting staff will have made sure that everything is ready at the precise moment for a perfect meal. The job of the Toastmaster is to ensure that everyone else is ready too.

During the Wedding Breakfast there are special functions that take place. The Toastmaster smooths the introduction of all these and lets you relax and enjoy your day.

As a Toastmaster I :

•    seat your guests in time for the meal.

•    formally introduce the Top Table to your guests.

•    say Grace, if you wish. If you would like someone else to take Grace for you I will very happy to introduce the speaker for you.

•    announce the cutting of the Wedding Cake, and make sure that everyone who wishes to has the chance to photograph the occasion. 

•    present the formal speakers for you and handle any special requests that you might have.
