“The role of a Toastmaster is to help coordinate the special day and take away the stress, never forgetting that the most important people in the room are you and your guests.”
“A Toastmaster, or Master of Ceremonies (MC), plays a vital role on the wedding scene. They are responsible for announcing toasts and introducing the speakers, in addition to welcoming your guests and being your right-hand-man on the day. A Toastmaster is the couples right-hand-man.”
Experience is the key, so look no further for your Wedding Toastmaster. Alleviating the stress of a stressful day. Unbeknownst to many, the role of a Toastmaster extends to more than just announcing things, as confetti.co.uk describes:
“If a wedding planner is the planner, then the Toastmaster is the ‘Director’ - their job is to take the running order of the day and make it work, ensuring everybody is where they should be, when they should be. They will be ensuring that both the couple and their guests are being looked after and that everything is in place, so there’s no delay or ambiguity when it’s needed .”
The Benefits Of Having A Toastmaster
A good Toastmaster acts as your wedding’s MC and coordinator leaving you to enjoy your wedding day without the worry of organising formalities and making sure guests are in the right place at the right time. In addition to working with fellow wedding suppliers, a Toastmaster offers excellent support to the bride, groom and wedding party members, each of whom has their own important role to fulfil – and every now and then he/she might have to do a bit of crisis management!
Many think that a Toastmaster’s responsibilities are covered by the best man or a venue manager. Trusting a professional and their expert management skills will guarantee a positive outcome on your big day. With the help of a Toastmaster your day can run smoothly, eliminating any stress for the bride and groom.
A toastmaster’s job is never the same. All couples are unique.
Top Tips For Hiring A Toastmaster
When hiring your Toastmaster, make sure you choose a professional who has experience of a variety of events and good reviews, so you know that they can support you and react accordingly if issues occur. If you choose a good Toastmaster, you probably won’t even know that anything has happened. Once you have selected your Toastmaster you can work closely with them during the early stages of wedding planning. Talk your Toastmaster through your day and highlight proposed timings and ask advice, where needed, as they’ll be a key part of how events unfold on the day itself.
Good To Know…
A Toastmaster wears a traditional Toastmaster uniform which, since the early 1800’s, has been a formal red tail-coat, stiff white shirt, bow tie and waistcoat with black trousers and patent leather shoes.
However, not everyone wants such formality and often there may be a theme to a Wedding, so please speak to me regarding any specific ideas you might have.
