We first met John at a wedding fair and it was our first encounter of a Toastmaster- and what a lovely, bubbly person to come across!

We had met a few more toastmasters following this, but nobody quite like John! We very shortly after booked John and had him booked for quite a while (at least 2 years!) before the wedding.

John was amazing at easing our nerves pre-wedding, from helping with explaining how things would traditionally go, to helping us tailor the day to what we wanted exactly.

At the wedding… we wouldn’t have been without him, from greeting everybody at the entrance to making sure he came and spoke to us throughout to see if there was anything the could help with. And with our group photos, he worked flawlessly to coordinate with our photographer to huddle people to keep things on track. No one could fault him, and everyone was complimenting him to us for many days after!

John, you are an absolute pleasure to be around and we are so glad that you were a part of our day. Thank you for everything.

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 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.

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

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!

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!

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!

If I could give John more stars I would! He was absolutely fantastic, I cannot stress how incredible he is.

From our first Online meeting to our wedding John was professional, patient and caring. He made our day run so smoothly, our guests absolutely loved him! So much so some have already gotten in touch for their own events.

He ensured that the vibe on our day was exactly what we wanted, that our guests who needed a little extra care were well looked after and informed, worked really well with the venue team and photographer for the most efficient wedding photo shoot I've ever seen!

Well what can I say apart from that John is just amazing. From the first conversations over email John came across as such a lovely person. On speaking on video call John was highly professional but certainly down for a good laugh. We are a very laid back couple yet had a few questions for John which were answered quickly and professionally. John messaged me on the morning of the wedding which was really a lovely touch. John had spoken about a special task for our 7 year old son which made him super excited. Our son can be very wary around new people and he had decided to make a speech - I text John the night before the wedding to let him know this (we had previously spoken about it) just to give John the heads up. On the day John was truly fantastic! We honestly couldn’t have done the day without him. From welcoming people on arrival to ensuring everyone was ready for when I walked down with my dad. When it came time to welcome us into the room he stood with our son and let him bang the gavel and made a joke with our son. John really made him feel at ease and John bigged him up a lot to make him feel confident to do his speech. We had so many lovely compliments from our guests saying how lovely John was ensuring they were all okay etc. John really is the best of the best!! Thank you so much John.

Toastmaster John hosted our day 02.06.2025 at TTBB. We met John at a wedding in 2024 and instantly knew we wanted him to host our day. He’s service is second to none and we couldn’t be anymore thankful to him. From first contact, right up until our wedding day, John kept in regular contact, making sure he knew every small detail about our day. He’s professionalism, knowledge and advice couldn’t be beaten. John, we can’t thank you enough for all you did for us! If you are in need of a toastmaster - he is 100% your man!

John kept in contact with us from the early stages where we had a phone call and an in person meeting to discuss our plans and how he can help us. He really helped out the Mother of the Bride with her speech giving her tips and helping her practice which gave her so much more confidence. He was very easy to contact and was incredibly responsive.

On the day John did an incredible job of keeping all our guests informed of where they needed to be and lifting some of the stress from my Wife and I's shoulders. We had excellent feedback from our guests who loved not only his help but his fun personality

Thank you John for all your help on our wedding day, you made a massive difference!

John, what can I say, described by guest as a legend. Loved by myself and my husband & especially the father and mother of the bride!
From the moment I first contacted John there was a connection the conversation flowed and automatically (after speaking to 10 previous toastmasters) I knew John was the one for the day! he checked in with me regularly in the lead up to the wedding, we had zoom calls, phone calls, texts & meet in person before the day! I really got to know me and my family and all the details he picked up through conversation he brought to the wedding itself. Having a toastmaster made the day run smoothly and took so much stress of our hands! The extra support he gave the men with thier speeches was so kind.
Thankyou John your a special person !

If you’re looking for a toastmaster then John is 100% the person you need at your wedding. From our first enquiry, to meeting him at our venue a couple of months before, he stays in regular contact putting you at ease and genuinely cares about your wedding, going above and beyond for your every need for example checking over speeches which was a great help. He is so easy to talk to and we feel like we’ve known him for years! Having a toastmaster makes the day run smoothly and makes sure it flows. Our guests also absolutely loved him! We cannot recommend John highly enough. Pure class! Thank you so much John!

I can not fault how professional and personal John was. I had the absolute pleasure of watching his service for a vow renewal and have to say this is the best ceremony and service I have witnessed. His friendliness throughout and how he spoke every word during his service was a pleasure to have heard. I would 100% recommend John for any future ceremonies. You will not be disappointed.

John was a fantastic toastmaster at our wedding! He is highly professional but also very warm and welcoming and can’t do enough to help. Our guests absolutely loved him, as did we. Having a toastmaster really added that something extra special and John is amazing at his role.

John was excellent at communicating, finding out all about what we wanted our day to look like and us as a couple and checking in with us both before and after the wedding.

If you are thinking of having a toast master, John would be a fantastic addition to any wedding and the value of the service, support and skill added to our day far out weighs the cost. Thank you so much John!
