Jersey Toastmaster

“THINGS DON’T GO RIGHT BY ACCIDENT”

The popular idea of a toastmaster is of a strange man in a red coat who bangs a hammer and shouts a lot but nothing could be further from the truth. Indeed, most of our work is done behind the scenes and the hammer (or gavel) is only used as a last resort.

Our job is quite simple – to take all the pressure off the host and hostess, make everything run smoothly and according to plan.

Most people leave it too late to make full use of our extensive experience but if you call us early enough, we will effortlessly guide you through every stage of planning and preparation, as well as the event itself.

A Few Words Of Advice

Beware when hotel staff, celebrants or DJ’s offer to act as
Toastmaster or MC:

  • We are much more than a Master of Ceremonies.

  • We provide personal in-depth help, from the very start of your planning.

  • We dedicate ourselves totally to the one job.

  • We are professionally trained. 

  • Our experience, advice and support is unique.

Weddings

“IT’S THE BRIDES DAY”

The presence of an experienced Toastmaster will ensure that your day goes just the way you want it to, without anyone having to worry about the detail.

Our helping hand starts during your planning with all the advice you need on traditions, timings and speeches.  Any fears of speech-making will be dispelled by our gentle instruction and simple rules of who says what and when.

Dinners

“HAVE GAVEL, WILL TRAVEL”

With a large guest list, Orders of Precedence become an important aspect and as qualified toastmasters, we will ensure correct procedure, particularly when dignitaries are present.

Our red tailcoat will impress everyone as we meet and greet. The dinner call will be made, the top table announced and seated. Grace, the Loyal Toast and the speakers will all be introduced at the correct time with appropriate preamble.

David was great on our wedding day and all the guests agreed, he made everything so easy and even resolved some issues with some of the other suppliers for us.

"Toastmaster: David Lister: It was a total honour to have this gentleman play a part in our wedding. His expertise and knowledge of wedding reception etiquette is second-to-non. He ensured everything proceeded like clock work but also brought an element of fun to it all. His attention to detail was faultless and the suggestion of saying Lancastrian Grace when he found out my dad was from Manchester sums this up well."
