Weddings

Take the worry out of your special day, every Bride and Bridegroom want their Wedding Day to be memorable from beginning to end. A lot of thought and preparation will have gone into the planning of this day, the Vicar or Registrar and venue will take priority, but who will ensure the reception runs smoothly? The answer is the Professional Toastmaster, he can supervise the greeting of the guests and the receiving line, announce the Bride and From, help with speeches, present the toasts, the cutting of the cake and much more. This leaves the Bridal couple, parents and best man to relax and enjoy the reception with their family and friends. Well before the special day a meeting will take place with the Bridal couple and the parents. Ensuring that all those concerned will be satisfied that the event will flow apparently effortlessly to a successful conclusion.

Martin and I wanted to thank you so much for supporting us on our wedding day. The day went so smoothly and without hiccup and that was down to you. It was so wonderful to have you with us on our special day, guiding us throughout the whole process and making sure that nothing important was missed You helped us bring our dream wedding day to life and for that we are so grateful. I also wanted to personally thank you for encouraging me to speak to enable me to say thank you to my mum, mother-in-law and auntie. Before I spoke to you I didn't have the confidence to do a speech, but you reassured me and helped me to make it happen. Giving those flowers to the three women in my life I love and care about the most is a memory that will be forever precious to me.

Thank you so much.

Now that we are home and reality resumes we just wanted to send a message of thanks.

From our first point of contact with you we were totally blown away by your enthusiasm, knowledge, kindness and general personality. Being a complete control freak (Amy !) I have never felt so comfortable letting someone have the reins. I had complete faith that you would make our day run so smoothly and you did not disappoint. You were there every step of the way and completely made our day run smoothly and that was important to us.

We have had so many comments on how fantastic and approachable you are, everyone has been so impressed.

Thank you again, we will remember you fondly..

Gemma and Mark Deane, Rhinefield House 27th July 2018

I just wanted to take the time ( now we have recovered from wedding and honeymoon) to say a huge thank you for everything you did for us at Rhinefield House on the 27th July

My guests have all commented on how amazing you were, and how you were critical in helping us create the relaxed atmosphere we wanted for our guests, and yet you still made everything run smoothly. I honestly am grateful you were part of our day. I knew from the moment you arrived in the morning of the wedding day that I could breathe a sigh of relief and it would all be OK, and from start to finish I couldn't wished for the day to go any better.

You made us feel so comfortable and safe and we genuinely loved having you there to join our celebrations.

kind regards

Gemma and Mark
