Here’s what owner Peter had to say… How long has the company been running? I’ve been in the wedding industry for more than 45 years as one of the UK’s top wedding toastmasters who also performs beautiful wedding ceremonies as a professional celebrant. What does a toastmaster provide? A toastmaster can help relieve the pressure, leading an air of quiet professionalism while ensuring weddings run smoothly. We have a gift for seeing potential problems before they arise and helping guests when needed. You don’t want to be answering questions about timings or seating arrangements; that’s where we can help! How can you help reduce wedding stress on the day? I will be on hand to deal with all the questions and act as a point of contact throughout the day. There’s nothing more stressful than having to obtain the attention of guests or directing people! I’m fully practised at making wedding announcements when calling guests to the wedding breakfast, introducing speeches, cutting the cake and first dance to ensure no one misses a thing.
