Fantastic!

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!

The best toastmaster 🥂

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 !

Wedding Celebrant

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 is absolutely amazing!

John was an absolute amazing addition to our Wedding Day on December 14th. John took the stress off of me entirely and worked so so well with all of my other vendors to ensure a smooth running of the day.
Before the wedding, John would often check in with us and make sure that we were ready to go. He went out of his way to offer with helping of writing speeches, proof reading things and ensuring that everything we wanted was going to happen.
John worked amazingly with our photographer - the two of them were the most amazing duo. Jo would photograph the moment whilst John went round and collected everyone for the next shot. They were amazing together - John is so helpful and so lovely.
All of our guests kept telling us how much they loved him and how polite and welcoming he is.
Thank you John for all of your help,
Mr and Mrs McCormick x

Amazing !!

Toastmaster John is absolutely brilliant ! From start to finish he has been speaking to my husband and myself about our special day and how we wanted it to go. He answered any concerns that we had and was such a brilliant help with any changes we made throughout the build up and on the day. He is amazing with the guests and made sure everyone knew where they were supposed to be at the right time. He made the day so much easier on us which allowed us to enjoy our special day without any worries. Thank you so much John !x

Toastmaster John - A fantastic touch to our wedding day!

We booked John for our wedding this year in September. From the moment John received my message through Hitched.com he kept up with the communication with me and explained very clearly what his role as a Toastmaster would be. After that initial phone conservation I warmed to John immediately and felt he would be a valuable asset to our special day. My fiancé at that time wasn't convinced that we required a Toastmaster for our wedding but I convinced him to have a conversation with John to understand how John could help us. We arranged a group call and John was his charismatic, personable and funny self and explained everything to my fiancé, how he wouldn't just be a Toastmaster who would make announcements but would liase with the suppliers there and take all the stress off us so that everything goes smoothly on the day. He even made recommendations and gave some good advice from his years of experience as a Toastmaster at weddings which we really appreciated. Needless to say my Fiancé really liked John and was convinced that he could really help us on the day.

John met up with us and went through the planning of the day, asking us questions to get to know us and to understand who all the key wedding party members were as well as getting contact information for all the suppliers. He even made a special effort to visit the wedding venue in his own time and familiarise himself with the layout so that he could understand our wishes and requirements for the day.

On the big day itself John was a superstar and looked fabulous in his Toastmaster uniform, he turned up early and although we were running behind schedule, John stepped in and was a great help co-ordinating with the catering team and the photographer to make sure things ran smoothly. He was especially great working with our photographer to help get guests lined up for the group photos. John mingled with our guests and also checked in with us and our wedding party to make sure everyone was ok. Our introduction into the wedding breakfast and announcements of the speeches were fun and memorable thanks to John. He added his own unique touches which made it extra special. We had the most wonderful day and John was an absolute delight to have at our wedding, all of our guests loved him and were impressed with him. We really cant thank John enough for everything he did for us on our special day. I wouldn't hesitate at all to recommend John, he really is the most fantastic Toastmaster and a credit to his profession!

Professional Toastmaster, Would Highly Recommend.

John is a professional Toastmaster in every way.. from the moment you first meet him right up until your Big special day, John will make YOU feel special and he will guide you through all aspects of your special day and how you want it to be..
My partner and I were so fortunate to come across John at a venue we were viewing and from that first meeting we knew he would look after us.. John listened to us and what we wanted and guided us through all aspects of our big day. On the big day John was professional and looked after us from the beginning and throughout the day.. John’s most lovely qualities are that he is warm, friendly and caring.. he listens to what you want out of your big day.. From when we first met him right up to the day itself John took away all our worries and concerns.. John made our special day extra extra special..
we would highly recommend John’s professional services for your special event..

Absolute perfection!

From the minute we enquired, working with John has been absolutely fabulous - he is so communicative, responsive and easy to work with throughout the entire planning process - and in actual fact, made some really helpful suggestions of things we hadn't thought about which was SO helpful!

So many guests came up to us to tell us how fabulous John was, he made our day run so smoothly and ensured all of our guests knew exactly where to be and when - he was such an integral part of our day, and truly also so much fun to have around!

Thank you John, from the new Mr & Mrs Galliford xxx

Worth every penny!

I don't know how we would have managed our wedding day without John. Not only was he there to offer support and advice, but he kept the day running smoothly, liaised with the venue, looked after our guests and stuck to our timings to keep everything on track! Your wedding day is the biggest, scariest, most exciting and most expensive day of your life and having John by your side is like having a close family friend on hand to help however he can and make sure everyone has the best time! We highly recommend John!

Brilliant toastmaster

John was so lovely. Zoom called with us regularly to get updates about our day. He was very kind, professional and extremely passionate about his role. Our entire wedding day went so smoothly with him running the show with the help of our wedding venue coordinator. Would 100% recommend a toastmaster. Absolutely brilliant.
(He was including in the price of our venue hire)
