    Helped the day run smoothly and was a joy to work alongside.

    I co-ordinated a wedding where Mark was the Toastmaster.
    Mark was a pleasure to work with and was very professional within his role.
    He helped make the day run smoothly and successfully.
    He came in early to familiarise himself with our Venue (Dale Hill Hotel and Golf club) and made guests feel very welcome.

    Dear Shauna,
    Thank you so much for that, I really appreciate it.
    I hope we get to work together again sooner than later!? Let me know if there are any 'challenging' functions that you could use me on as I've bought bigger batteries for my tazer! LOL

    Incredible

    Mark was simply incredible. He held the day together so well. The best bit of advice we can give to any couple considering an MC is DO IT! And specifically make sure that MC is Mark. He is a legend! We didnt have to worry about anything. He was patient and paid attention to detail.

    Mark Lanahan - Master of Ceremonies's reply:

    Really?! Is that all!?! 😉🤣 Thank you so much. I had a ball meeting your family and friends. The best Bridal party entrance ever and you made me feel like family. Love to you both.

    Superb Toastmaster, supportive partner.

    Mark was excellent and professional at the core task of making announcements and facilitating proceedings on the day but where he really added value was in his friendly and supportive manner, counselling on logistics, conventions, what would and wouldn't work, reviewing the speeches and so on. Overall highly professional, proactively supportive, approachable and friendly. Thanks Mark!

    Mark Lanahan - Master of Ceremonies's reply:

    Well! Thank you so much, humbling. You're not so bad yourelves! My job is made that more effective by a respectful and responsive couple. It was a great day and I look forward to any pics. Love to all!

    Very approachable and easy to work with

    We contacted Mark a few days to the wedding.
    He was more than ready to help us.
    Very approachable and he knows his roles perfectly well.
    He made it easy for us during our wedding.
    We were able to relax and enjoy the wedding as we delegated the roles of running the programme,which he did effectively.
    We could not recommend him more..

    Thank you Renata & Nelson, it was easy to interact with both your families, as despite the language barriers everyone was so lovely....even in the rain. Tell Nelson's sister she can talk all she wants now!! HaHaHa Markx

    Excellent toastmaster!

    Mark was booked by a wedding couple and was an amazing toastmaster at our venue. Amazing singer too! Great all rounder.

    Hi Michael, thank you! The BMA is a hidden Gem in the Heart of the City and I look forward to working back there soon!

    Allowed us to relax on our wedding day!

    Honestly can’t recommend Mark highly enough. It is the one thing we recommend to others planning a wedding - get Mark as your toastmaster, it’s by far the best decision we made for our wedding! It meant we didn’t have to worry about timings on the day itself, and Mark made everything so easy, that it actually saved us time - for example, getting a group photo of everyone took about 2-3min whereas at other weddings we’ve been to, this took 10-20min trying to get all the guests together. Mark did this with ease and meant it didn’t take an unnecessarily long time. This is just one example, he was absolutely brilliant and I can’t fault him.

    Mark Lanahan - Master of Ceremonies's reply:

    Cathrine & Jonathan, thank you so much for the 5 stars! You were both a joy to work for and I'm still chuffed how well you both handled your speeches and the bonkers Danish traditions! Looking forward to poss catching up on your return. Thank you once again for the kind review. Xx

    Top Toastmaster!!

    A toastmaster is a must for any wedding occasion and I'm so glad we chose Mark for our wedding. We had a mixed English-American wedding and many of the customs and timing of an English wedding don't match up with a traditional American wedding. Mark was there to help everyone -- he was able to shuffle people to be in the right spots at the right times. I didn't have to lift a finger or think about anything during the day -- I knew he had everything handled. Mark was charismatic, thoughtful, and always on hand at every step of the planning process and during the wedding day. I can't recommend him enough -- I know if we were to do this all again, he would be at the top of my vendors list.

    Mark Lanahan - Master of Ceremonies's reply:

    Bless you Alex & Harry, that is so kind of you. We're only dissapointed we didn't get to spend more time with you, but we were on opposite sides of the country! And yes, we can do transatlantic! Mark & Jane xx

    Thank you for making our day run so smoothly your were more help than we could of ever imagined. Mark & Jane help down to every detail. We couldn’t of been happier with our choice of toast master. Once again thank you very much! Lauren & Jordan reynolds

    Mark Lanahan - Master of Ceremonies's reply:

    Hi Guys, that is so kind of you! Both Jane & I really enjoyed the day, especially the bouquet toss! If there are any pictures or video of us together, we'd love to see it. Continued Health & Happiness to you both. Mark & Jane xx
