The Wedding Toastmaster
Hello and Welcome to My Website
Have you been thinking of hiring a toastmaster for your wedding, but not sure what a toastmaster does and what his fee is?
Let me Help You
You may have already seen me at a friend or relative's wedding, thought 'that's what I want' someone to look after me on my big day: someone who is a happy person and obviously enjoys what he is doing and knows what he is doing!
Introductions
May I introduce myself, my name is Eric Gill, I am a Professional Wedding Toastmaster, an occasional house husband, hopeless at golf, not very good at DIY, can't cook, but I definitely make a wedding less stressful.
If you have time please read the thank you cards, emails and letters sent by happy newly-weds - you will find these in my testimonials. Here is a snippet:
"We just wanted to thank you again for making our day so wonderful... we feel so lucky to have had you as part of our day and for that we are truly grateful"
A little bit more about me
I am a member of the National Association of Toastmasters and Fellow of the Executive Guild of Toastmasters and Town Criers. I have been a Professional Toastmaster since 1994 and attend up to 100 weddings a year. Suffice it to say I am not a new boy.
Loads of Experience
I have over 16 years experience - you have my assurance that your wedding will have my utmost attention, right from our first phone call (or Email), down to helping with speeches and giving advice (when requested) on how the day will unfold.
It is my pleasure as your wedding toastmaster to look after you all, and do it with a friendly smile and a calm but assured confidence. It's that touch of class that only a trained experienced toastmaster can deliver
Duties
Whether we meet face to face or discuss your special day on the telephone, my role in your plans is informal yet professional. My duties include but are not limited to:
* Advice on etiquette and protocol before and on the wedding day
* Liaison with venue management, photographers and other wedding professionals
* Organizing the receiving line and announcing guests to the wedding party
* Make announcements regarding matters of the day to the assembled guests
* Announce the Bride and Bridegroom and escort them to their place at the top table at the wedding breakfast.
* Announce or say Grace
* Announce the speakers and assist with gifts and/or flowers
* Arrange the ceremonial cutting of the cake
* Conclude the formalities and advise guests of arrangements for the evening
I guarantee that you will enjoy your celebrations knowing that your plans and wishes are being attended to by me at every step.
How do you know if I am available and how do you book me?
Booking deposit
If I am available for your date, I request a £50.00 deposit. This secures the booking. The final balance only becomes due 2 weeks before the happy day.
I will either email an agreement form, or post it. It is your choice. Most clients prefer an email attachment, thus once completed the document can be posted to me with a Cheque.
I usually allow 14 days to receive this, depending on the date of your wedding. - see my Fees page for details
Easy as that
That's it really, apart from phone calls re advice on all things from speeches, protocol and procedure, but that's just part of my job - looking after you both before and on your special day.
