    Outstanding!

    Des was an amazing toast master at our wedding in September. He was so engaging with all our guests and exceptionally funny, everyone loved him. Des made sure everything ran smoothly and everyone had everything they needed!
    Leading up to the wedding Des was so helpful with giving us information and helping us to work out the schedule for the day. If we wanted to run through things Des always made sure to fit in a quick call, and was so reliable, friendly and kind.
    Thank you so much Des, you were a huge part in making our day so special.
    Love Dom and Rachel x

    Man for the job- Absolutely brilliant

    Des was the toast master at our wedding on 17.08.24 and what a day to remember. Des was very organised and professional from start to finish. Everyone love his funny personality and he knew how to get all the guests laughing. Des made our wedding day spectacular and so glad we had him there on our special day. We would highly recommend Des in thr future and are so grateful for everything he did at our wedding.

    The Best Toast Master

    Des was just amazing! His funny, happy, friendly personality shone through to our guest whilst always remaining absolutely professional. My husband and I adored him, the wedding party and 250 guests absolutely loved him. We have had some many comments about him and how he made the day even more perfect! I witnessed Des at a wedding 10 years ago and promised myself when I got married he would be the toast master. I am so glad I stayed true to my word as he did not let us down or disappoint. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. If you need a toast master, this is the one you need.

    A no brainer decision!

    We are so happy that we found Des and were able to have him as our toastmaster! Des was easily the best decision made and money spent on the day and we would highly recommend him. We had spoken to a few toastmaster, but knew as soon as we spoke to Des that he was the one. He totally understood us as a couple, and was the exact vibe and energy we were looking for. Des was easy to get in touch with in the lead up, and we felt reassured throughout that the day was in good hands. Des worked closely with our venue coordinator and photographer to make sure everything ran smoothly on the day. Des is very professional and organised, he took time to understand how we wanted the day to go and on the day he was really engaged with guests which took some pressure off us. Our guests are still telling us how great he was! Overall, we couldnt recommend Des more and are so grateful that he was a part of our day.

    The best man for the job

    Des was absolutely amazing, we were going to ask a friend to be out toast master, I’m so glad we didn’t, don’t worry our friend agrees too. 🤣

    Des was very professional, he entertained our guests, made them feel comfortable and kept them informed of the coming events throughout the day. Which was great when we were running behind schedule.

    During the breakfast, while everyone was eating, he went around the tables interacting with the guests, getting some of them to sing along to our background music…. One person in particular was Uncle Devon - he couldn’t sing to save his life but he tried and went along with it for us, this definitely broke the ice and made people feeling a lot more comfortable. Sadly Devo passed away 2021 and that is a memory the family will cherish forever and Des made it happen.

    Our guests loved Des! 3 years later and people are still talking about how good our wedding was!!
    If you have second doubts don’t, he is the man for your wedding.

    Sister big day

    I booked Des for my sisters wedding and he was a God send. He entertained our guests, supported us with the planning of the day and really got invovled and embraced my family. We will definitely book him again for any future weddings.
