Weddings
As a Fellow of the Guild of Professional Toastmasters and Graduate of the Professional Toastmaster’s Academy, I have been trained to manage your big day from start to finish. I will liaise with you to make sure I know what you want, how you want the day to run and what level of formality you would like.
Ideally, I like to meet up with you, either face-to-face or virtually, well before the day and at the planning stage. This will allow me to advise you on areas such as tradition, formalities and help you pull the timings together to make sure the day runs smoothly. I will then provide you with an outline programme of the day for your consideration and amendment which can be shared with wedding planners, caterers etc. If needed I can liaise with the event staff and meet up with them and you at the venue if needed.
On the day, I will arrive at the venue early and meet up with all those engaged in your big day to make sure we all have a joint understanding of how the day will go. There will always be last minute adjustments and tweaks which you will not want to be worried about although I will, of course, talk you through any changes to make sure you are happy. When you and your guests arrive, you can rest assured everything will be as it should be.
I will greet your guests on arrival and make sure they are orientated to the venue and guide you, your family and them through the whole day making sure we are all in the right place at the right time every time!
The Wedding Breakfast is a key part of the day and I will oversee this, in partnership with the venue staff and caterers making sure it all runs to your plan and timings. I will brief and introduce those who are making the key speeches and generally keep an eye on everything, allowing you, your family and your guests to relax and enjoy your day.
I will stay with you through to the early evening, gathering guests for cake cutting, the first dance and any other events before handing over to the evening entertainment and leaving you to enjoy the remainder of the day.
