Weddings

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 FINER DETAILS.

Book us early enough and our helping hand can start 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. On the day, the red tailcoat always impresses and shows that you have everything well organised.

OUR APPEARANCE WILL REMIND THE FAMILY THAT THEY HAVE A FRIEND WHO IS IN CONTROL. WE WILL ENSURE THAT EVERYONE IS IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME.

Whether 30 or 300 guests, everyone will warm to our relaxed approach and good humour, as we co-ordinate the activities and provide a focal point for help and advice. There will be nothing for you to do except relax and enjoy the day.

All Your Questions Answered

OUR LEAFLETS CONTAIN PLENTY OF HINTS, TIPS AND USEFUL GUIDANCE

Our own unique set of helpful leaflets give you lots of useful hints, advise on the British traditions and greatly simplify the speech making.

However, there are many wedding traditions from around the world and we will be very happy to incorporate any of them.

Timing

Our time schedule makes your day run like a dream

We make sure that everything you want to happen does, in the right place and on time. So many events fall apart without the constant care and attention of a toastmaster.

Our Fees

WE WILL BE HAPPY TO QUOTE, FOR ANY EVENT, ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.  TRAVEL OUT OF JERSEY INCURS EXPENSES BUT THEY WILL ONLY BE CHARGED AT COST.

Our all inclusive fee covers a detailed meeting, the compilation of a time schedule and on the day, attendance for the entire formal reception, including the first dance (if within an agreed time scale)

£485

If you have a church service, our presence there gives your day a professional sparkle from the start. We are also useful in helping the groomsmen who are often unsure of their duties and we help smooth the way as your guests arrive.

If the bulk of the photography is to be done there, then we will be desperately needed to keep the proceedings on schedule.

Total combined fee £535

Every wedding is unique and we will be pleased to make appropriate adjustments but reserve the right to re quote if requested to provide services at difficult locations (castles are good examples).

"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."
