Sarah Sent on 29/09/2026The Wedding Day Survival Kit That Everyone Needs - is James!
James was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. He literally made sure we had the most magical, fairytale wedding that we could ever possibly dreamt of. Our wedding was a complicated, DIY event on a Farm that has never done anything on this scale before and James’, guidance, expertise, professionalism and patience! made it all run absolutely seamlessly on the day. It would not have been possible without him. His warmth, humour and toastmaster skills were invaluable. There is no question that if you are looking for an MC or Toastmaster (which you really should get for your wedding!) then you absolutely want James.James Hasler - The Man in the Red Coat's reply:
Sarah (and Nick).
Thank you so much for taking the time to write. I think you know already how magical your day was, and most of that came from your wonderful planning, Nick's carpentry skills and the army of volunteers and guests that all played their part. My role was just the icing on the cake as without the whole team even I could not have done as much.
However, as I said, I love doing what I do and that makes a difference to those I work with. In the end you gave me so much to work with and as a result it was a joy as much for me as it was for you. All the best for the future to you both and all the children. James -

5⭐️ toastmaster
We honestly couldn’t recommend James enough as a toastmaster! He was absolutely fantastic from start to finish and played such an important part in making our wedding day run so smoothly.
James was friendly, professional, approachable and incredibly helpful throughout the day. He kept everything organised and on time without ever making it feel rushed, and we always felt completely reassured that everything was under control.
We had so much lovely feedback from our guests about James and how great he was. He really helped create such a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere and took so much of the pressure off us, allowing us to fully enjoy our day.
Thank you so much, James, for everything you did for us. We’re so grateful and couldn’t have asked for a better toastmaster! 🤍

Excellent, 10/10!!
Working with James was a dream. He brought professionalism, energy, and ceremony to our special day, acting as the glue that pulled the whole day together. This meant my husband and I were able to enjoy the small moments of the day, knowing our wedding party was looked after and that we didn't need to micromanage a thing.
From the first sight of James on the day, he brought a calmness and confidence that permeated everyone. We were skeptical at first about whether we even needed his services, but looking back, it's one of the best decisions we made relating to our wedding. We would be honored to work with him again and would highly recommend him to friends and family for their own weddings and events.
Thank you, James!James Hasler - The Man in the Red Coat's reply:
Imy. It really was a delight to work with you and and all your family and friends. The surroundings were magical, as was the atmosphere. I am so glad that you did decide to engage me and I delighted I allowed you both to relax and enjoy the day to the full. All the best for the future and I hope that you both have a wonderful life ahead. James -

James was incredible!!!!!
James is worth every single penny, we are so so thankful we booked him to help us have the most magical day (wedding).
He is incredibly professional, exceptionally knowledgeable and does everything with a smile on his face.
James helped the day run so smoothly, he took all the stress away and was able to link between our many different supplies and venue to ensure everything went to plan… any little hiccups that happened James just dealt with them and half the time i wasn’t even aware! I was able to put my full trust in James and he delivered 10000%.
He really pulled the whole day together, ensured there was good flow, all guests knew what they were doing and he added fun elements to the day too!
We loved him, our guests love him, we would highly recommend!
Genuinely, thank you from the bottoms of our hearts James, you were utterly amazing!

Emma and Sam - you were amazing to be around and what a truly fabulous day you planned for your family and friends for me to facilitate. I had such fun working both with and for you and the suppliers you chose were terrific to work alongside. As for the team at Hengrave Hall, they really know their stuff and I couldn't recommend them more highly.
Have a wonderful life ahead together.

James was an outstanding toastmaster and played a huge part in making our wedding day run so smoothly. He was professional, organised, friendly, and always made sure everyone knew what was happening throughout the day.
His confident and warm approach kept everything on schedule while creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere for us and our guests. We were able to fully enjoy the celebrations knowing everything was in safe hands. We would highly recommend James to anyone looking for an exceptional toastmaster for their special day.

Kostas
Thank you to both you and Aamina for engaging me to be a part of such an incredible day. Part of the joy from my point of view is interacting with guests and making sure they are relaxed and like you having a great day. Banter with certain guests is always fun and when one of Aamina's mother's guests challenged me to a dance, I don't think she thought I would go for it. Needless to say it was all in the aid of fun.
All the very best to you both and to your lives ahead together with one another.

The best thing we did on our wedding was book James
We booked James as the MC for our wedding last weekend and he did a fantastic job. So much so that we were wondering what we would've done without him! Organising and entertaining guests, keeping things moving along, dealing with queries etc etc. We both really felt that a weight was lifted from our shoulders. Thank you so much James!James Hasler - The Man in the Red Coat's reply:
No matter what the weather through at us, you guys were qamazing. Monika and Andrew, you both looked amazing and make such a handsome couple. It was a delight to be a part of your day and to meet you and all your family and friends. Wishing you all the best.

Central London Greek Cypriot wedding
James was incredible. He ensured a smooth running of the day and knew all of our Greek traditions.
We were completely relaxed as he worked so well with our wedding coordinator for a smooth running of the event. Our guests were informed of every detail.
Our grande entrance was conducted amazingly by him and the band. He's well spoken and dramatic voice really got our crowd on their feet.
We have so much to thank him for he made our day truly special.James Hasler - The Man in the Red Coat's reply:

James was absolutely incredible as our Toastmaster at our wedding at Hever Castle. From the moment the day began, he brought such warmth, energy, and genuine care that instantly put us at ease. He engaged everyone so naturally, kept everything on agenda running smoothly, and made sure we could truly relax and enjoy ourselves — it honestly felt like we were guests at our own wedding !!! His wonderful stories, clear communication, and great sense of humor added so much joy to the day and made it memorable. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to be part of such a special moment in our lives.James Hasler - The Man in the Red Coat's reply:
