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.

Mike,

Thanks so much for all your hard work and putting us at ease, and bringing everything together to make Saturday happen.
We literally had the best day !!
The rest of the team at the hotel were great too.

Despite all the covid restrictions we still had a fantastic time, the fact we had two ceremonies made it all the more special.

All the guests commented on what a fantastic venue it is, everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Once gain thanks for all your hard work and patience.

Mr.Mrs Cousins (Grace and Jake)
