Why Hire a Toastmaster?

​

The toastmaster’s traditional dress of red coat and white tie provide an additional touch of splendour to your event, but he is more than a Master of Ceremonies and speaker to introduce the toasts.

 

A toastmaster is also a facilitator, coordinator and go-between. With his air of quiet professionalism an experienced toastmaster will relieve the pressure on the host or hostess and ensure everything goes exactly as planned, no matter what the occasion.

 

What a Toastmaster can do for your wedding:

• Prior to the arrival of the Wedding Party and guests a toastmaster will ensure that the function room(s) have been prepared in accordance with your wishes.

• He will liaise with the venue and suppliers, such as caterers and entertainers, to ensure that everything runs smoothly and according to timetable.

• Receive the happy couple upon arrival at the venue

• Assist the Photographer in forming the various group photographs

• As requested organise the receiving line and introduce the guests to the Hosts
