    More Than a Celebrant and Toastmaster – A Truly Special Person ❤️

    More Than a Celebrant and Toastmaster – A Truly Special Person ❤️

    Where do we even begin to find the words to express just how incredible John was and how much he meant to us throughout our wedding journey?

    When we first met John, we were looking for someone to be our celebrant and toastmaster. What we never expected was to find someone who would become such a special part of our lives and someone we now feel privileged to call a friend.

    From the very beginning, John took the time to really get to know us. Not simply as a couple planning their wedding, but as Kelly and Stephen, two people with our own stories, personalities, experiences and dreams. He listened, he understood, and he genuinely cared about making our day everything we had hoped it would be.

    One of the things that meant the most to us was how John truly understood that our wedding was about so much more than two people saying "I do". It was about celebrating our family, our journey together and the beautiful blended family we have become.

    We wanted our ceremony to reflect not only the love we share as husband and wife, but also the love, connections and relationships that make our family so special. John understood just how important this was to us. He recognised that our wedding was not simply the joining of two people, but a celebration of two families coming together as one.

    He embraced this so beautifully, ensuring that our children and family were not simply guests witnessing our marriage, but an important part of the story we were telling. He made everyone feel included, valued and loved, and gave our ceremony a depth of meaning that words can barely describe. At our humanist service, John made every one of our guests feel as though they were part of our wedding, not simply observing it. He created a warm, personal atmosphere where everyone felt connected to our story and included in the celebration.

    Our ceremony was everything we could have wished for and so much more. It was personal, meaningful, emotional and filled with love, laughter and memories. John had an incredible ability to capture who we are, not only as a couple but as a family, and turn our story into something truly beautiful. Every word felt as though it belonged to us, and that is something we will treasure forever.

    But John's involvement didn't end with our ceremony. As our toastmaster, he continued to be such an important part of our celebrations. His warmth, professionalism, humour and natural ability to put everyone at ease made such a difference. Knowing that someone who understood us so well was there to guide us through the day was incredibly reassuring.

    What makes John truly exceptional isn't simply how brilliantly he carries out his roles, but the person he is. He has a genuine warmth, kindness and sincerity that cannot be taught. He doesn't just turn up and do a job. He invests himself in the people, the emotions and the memories that make a wedding so special.

    There are people who provide a service, and then there are people who leave a lasting impression on your heart. John is most definitely one of those people.

    When we look back on our wedding day, we won't just remember the beautiful ceremony or how smoothly everything ran. We will remember the laughter, the reassurance, the kindness and the wonderful man who stood beside us through it all.

    John, you didn't simply help us create our wedding day. You understood what our marriage represented, what our family means to us and why it was so important that everyone felt part of something truly special.

    You helped us celebrate not just the beginning of our marriage, but the beautiful family and life we have built together. For that, we will always be grateful.

    If you are looking for a celebrant or toastmaster, we cannot recommend John highly enough. He is truly one of a kind, and any couple lucky enough to have him involved in their wedding will understand exactly what we mean.

    We started our wedding journey with a celebrant and toastmaster, but we finished it with a friend. And that, to us, is priceless. ❤️

    With all our love and heartfelt thanks,

    Kelly & Stephen ❤️

    Highly Recommend - Best Toastmaster!

    We honestly couldn’t recommend our toastmaster enough! From start to finish, he was absolutely fantastic and played such a huge part in making our wedding day run so smoothly. He kept everything organised and on schedule, made sure everyone knew where they needed to be, and took so much of the pressure off us so we could relax and enjoy every moment.

    His professionalism, friendly nature and attention to detail were second to none, and he brought such a lovely presence to the day. It was clear how much care he put into making sure everything went perfectly, and we are so grateful for everything he did for us.

    Thank you for helping make our wedding day so special and memorable. If you’re looking for a toastmaster for your wedding, we would highly recommend John without hesitation! 🤎

    John's the man!

    John was Fantastic!

    From the moment we hired John to oversee our day, he was involved in all the planning, giving us helpful insights along the way.

    On the actual day John was brilliant! He kept the rooms engaged, got people to where they needed to be and we couldn’t imagine our day without him!

    John - Thank you so much for being part of our special day!

    John - The Man Everyone Needs!!

    John was such a key part of our day and he made us both feel at ease whilst keeping the day running. We didn't have to worry at all about anything thanks to John - which on a day with so many moving parts, is vital to have someone we could both trust to do so.

    John immediately understood our more chilled out, alternative vibe and was very much a part of our whole day, not just providing a service, but providing support, compassion and calm!

    He had a lot to do with a dog bridesmaid, a birthday celebration in the middle of speeches and a very complicated shift schedule hindering the pre-meetings but not once was anything too much or too complicated. He worked seamlessly with our wedding coordinator and made the day extra special.

    John - thank you for being such an important part of our day and it means the world to us that you were there. 100% recommend to any couples getting married.

    Couldn't have done it without you!

    John was amazing from start to finish! From the first message, he was warm, funny and kind! Our first face to face meeting ended up being longer than planned, as John is just so easy to get along with and talk to. He really helped us ease our fears, as we had no idea what we were doing 😂. He checked in on us in the run up to the wedding and even read a speech for us, as we aren't keen on the limelight!
    John really helped with the smooth running of our day and liaised with the catering, photographer and dj to ensure everything was on time and correct!
    Everyone commented on how great John was and he felt more like a guest (who knew what he was doing) than someone we had hired for the day!
    We will forever be eternally grateful for John and all of his help and we had the great pleasure of being his 100th booking, which is a massive milestone!
    With lots of love and thanks
    Alice & Aaron

    Alice, that is so lovely, thank you. You were a dream couple to work with. Love and best wishes to you both. I hope we meet again.

    100% Reccomend!

    John was absolutely amazing! We booked John only a few months before our wedding as we wanted everyone to enjoy the day rather than key members supporting organising and it was so worth it! Despite it being fairly last minute John was straight on organising meet ups. John was responsive and friendly from the get go, he answered any questions we had and was full of tips and tricks of the trade to support us! He was always on hand whenever we needed and even took a trip to our venue to get familiar with it before the day! On the day, everything run smoothly - as far as we know anyway!! Which means if it didn’t we had no idea as it was handled so well by John! Our guests loved him and he really did make sure our day ran as smoothly as possible! He took so so much stress of our plates but also our families plates which means we could all just be 100% in the moment! He was a top supllier and just so so fab!

    Toastmaster John Heasman's reply:

    Danielle and Connor,
    What can I say ? Thank you so much for such kind words. Your day was outstanding, and the guests were great to me. It was a pleasure to be a part of it. You see !! The limelight for a day isn't so bad after all
    I do hope we meet again

    Best toastmaster ever!!

    John was by far the best addition to our wedding! His service was remarkable. He has a great ability to be able to accommodate to all guests and connect on a personal level. His level of attention he showed me and my wife was amazing, regular meetings and even face to face! He has a great sense of humour and can really light up a room with his personality.

    I would recommend John to anyone who is looking for a toastmaster for their wedding, as it will make the day run so smoothly and will leave you stress free.

    Thank you so much John, you are a legend!

    Toastmaster John Heasman's reply:

    Kyle, what can I say ? Another amazing review, thanks so much. You and Derren were an ideal couple to work with. I loved the day. Plus, it gave me a chance to get rid of an unwanted Liverpool programme 😁😁😁 loved your day, I really hope we meet again
    Love to all
    John

    John Brought the Mic – and the Magic!

    Never did I think about having a toastmaster for my wedding.. that was what I thought until I met John at an event. After he told me his role and then reflecting on my family and those members who were “in the toilet” “smoking” or just generally “outside chatting” and missed out on special moments at a wedding, I knew that he was a must!

    From the moment we asked John to help us with our day he’s been a dream! He is always on his phone answering our many questions. We had a pre wedding meet to go through everything. He generally really cared about day and making it so special for us, even getting to know our bridal party.

    Thank you John for contributing to our amazing day and being so lovely! You’re definitely a highlight from the guests! And I’m not being biased because he’s a Crystal Palace supporter. Having John at your wedding is definitely the icing on the (wedding) cake!

    Toastmaster John Heasman's reply:

    Rachel, thank you so much for those lovely words.
    That’s really what makes the job magical.
    I loved supporting your day. Wishing you both a lifetime of love.
    I’m glad all over that we met !!
    John x
