Your Day — theweddingtoastmaster.co.uk

The wedding couple generally know what they want but sometimes need support in bringing their dreams to reality. It’s the Toastmaster’s job to work with the couple as their coordinator and right-hand-man and make sure that all aspects of the day are delivered.
It is not the Toastmaster’s job to tell the newlyweds what they must include during the reception but to offer advice about the traditions they might like to include. Every Wedding is different. Increasingly with same-sex, multi-cultural and multi-faith weddings there is a blend of traditions or a desire to create new ones.
The Toastmaster is not the star of the show, but is there to be instrumental in making a wedding memorable.
Some weddings need very little management, and others require a lot! One of the skills is knowing what is needed and making it all seem effortless while giving as much regular feedback to the couple as they want.
How many planning meetings do you want?
I recommend that you discuss the details of your day with your Toastmaster at least once or twice during the build-up, to ensure that everything is clear for all parties. This helps the Toastmaster to carry out your wishes effectively and for you to relax in the knowledge that your big day is in good hands.

Make sure your Toastmaster arrives at least 30 minutes before the start of your day, to ensure he/she is there to welcome your guests and ensure everything is in place and as it should be.
What is exactly included in the fee? Is there any extra charge to stay on for the first dance, etc? I provide clear and concise pricing with no surprises or hidden extras.
Many Toastmasters expect to be fed a meal along with the guests. This is an extra expense that a couple can well do without. I simply require a jug of water and a glass, and a small space from which to coordinate activities… and maybe a snack if it’s a long day
Make sure that you have a written agreement between you and the Toastmaster that clearly covers the services being provided. This should be provided by the Toastmaster.
