TBH I think saying that it is The most important part of the day is stretching it a little! Surley the most important part of the day is when you're told you're offically married?!?

I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to be advertising your services on this forum. If you want to advertise you should contact the boss man - [email protected].
Oh, and for teh record, I agree with MelN -being told you're officially married is probably quite important!

and I can think of loads of other people who are MUCH more important than a toastmaster, excluding the bridal party and officiants - I would consider the Chef to be more important! Having said that, we did have a toastmaster - my sister's husband and he did a brilliant job (and free!)

Sorry but I do SOOOOOOOOOOO disagree with that statement! YES a master of cermonies/toastmaster can be an important PART of the day if you want things to go smoothly and run on time BUT it is NOT THE most important part.......infact i have been to LOTS of weddings and only ONE had a toastmaster so i would even go as far as saying its not even nessesary!!!!
To me and I'm sure millions of other brides to be THE most important part of their wedding day is the moment the vicar/registra or whoever is conducting the service says "you are now husband and wife" So going by that surely THEY are the most important part????

Hi.Guys,
I am not trying to advertise on here, I am trying to tell people That it is so important to consider having a toastmaster/ Master of Ceremonies at your wedding. I have been a guest at lots of weddings, and when The bride and groom have not had a Toastmaster,they have always regretted it, as things are not handles so professionally. This is The biggest day of The couples lives and it needs to be special. This is an essential part of The Wedding budget in my view. Some venues include Toastmasters in There packages, but the venue packaged toastmasters often do the very bare minimum.
The art of Toastmastering has changed, and has a very modern look to it now, I was responsible for changing this. The duties of The Toastmaster are endless. I cant speak for others, but in my case being young and very passionate, The duties are I will be present at both The Church, to assist with Buttonholes, Corsages, and ushering in, and then make my way to The Venue. I will co-ordinate The whole day and evening for you, according to your style.
I liase with all fellow wedding professionals, before and on the day.
I will draw up itinereries that go backwards and forwards, between the bride and groom and the venue, to ensure the day is catered to your style.
I am present at the ceremony, tieing crevattes, fixing buttonholes and corsages, ushering in and more. Welcoming guests to the drinks reception.
Assisting the photographer with photos to ensure, they are all taken, according to the bride and grooms needs.
Preparing the receiving line, to announce all guests to bridal party.
Grand entrance into dinner, for parents and bride and groom, making it special.
London Toastmasters opening speech.
Toastmaster For your London Wedding announcing grace.
Presentations and announcements of Birthdays, Anniverseries, and Newly Wed to Oldest Wed.
After dinner speeches,
Father of the bride
Groom
Best man
Bride
Loyal toast to the queen
Presents and bouquets ceremony
Special toasts to family and friends.
Memories of the bride and groom.
Announce a guest to say a poem about bride and groom, or sing a song, this will then see the bride and groom kiss.
Cutting of the cake and champagne ceremonies.
Grand entrances to dance floor for bride and groom, and then second dance with father.
Last Dances and Circles and Goodbyes at The end of The evening
Please feel free to fire as many questions as you wish.

still, but advertising yourself as the "most important part of the day" is only ever gonna get Brides backs up and wont be getting you much work! afraid for me its WAY down the line after the bridal party, photographer, videographer, chef, venue staff. musicians, florist, etc etc. In fact its that "essential" that I aint even having one! Someone at the venue announces the line up, speeches and dinner, and the band announce the buffet. Good enough for me.........
and a lot of what you have put above is the job of a wedding planner, not a toastmaster.
I don’t repeat gossip so listen very carefully!!

Hi.Linzi, Thank you for your mail. Everyone has their own opinions, and of course I respect yours.
The role of The Toastmaster has changed over recent years, and has become more modern, and more advanced. And to be honest many Brides have actually thanked me for enlightening them, about the services of The modern day Toastmaster.
Regards Jon

Presentations and announcements of Birthdays, Anniverseries, and Newly Wed to Oldest Wed. Loyal toast to the queen
I dont find these important announcments for the wedding!
Its our wedding day it should be about that and not anyones birthday and i dont want a run down of us being married that day to the date of someones grandparents wedding that is there!
also the queen has nothing to do with me and wont be there why should she be toasted to!!!!
Many weddings have gone quite smoothly without a toastmaster!
The Bride and Groom are the most important part of the ceremony!!!

i dont agree either that a toast master is the most important part of the day but we did have one at our wedding and glad we did as it meant everything went smoothly and we knew what to do etc. we had already discussed timings etc but without one it would never have gone so smoothly!
CommentAuthorKimi
We get a "toastmaster" provided by the venue free of charge. And everything has been sorted with the venue now anyway.
The days are flying by, can't wait :)
CommentAuthortimpson123
We also have a toastmaster included. I wouldn't pay for it on top of everything else because someone in my family could announce stuff so not really needed in my opinion.
CommentAuthorVintageChic
sorry but i have to point out in regards to Mandy's comment....
most venues offer a master of ceremonies, so i agree with mandy, i would not pay for it on top of everything else.
My day wouldnt fall apart if i didnt have someone to make announcements that ANYONE could make should they wish to.
My day MIGHT fall apart however if i opted not to pay for the following: *Marriage fees - the wedding wouldnt happen *church fees - as above *rings - they're important to seal the deal *transport - imagine having to walk in a dress!!!! *dress - Imagine having to walk in naked *suit - ditto *photography - you wouldnt have "physical memories" *reception venue and/or catering - be a pretty dull night
so yeah I think Master of Ceremonies is way way wayyyyyy down my list when i could just get my dad to do the traditional thing and clink a spoon off a glass to get peoples attention.
Further to the comment you are not advertising yourself I would like to refer to the following comments you made:
"I will be present at both The Church, to assist with Buttonholes, Corsages, and ushering in, and then make my way to The Venue. I will co-ordinate The whole day and evening for you, according to your style"
forgive me if I am mistaken but they are comments informing brides of what services you offer therefore count as being advertising.
As my fellow moderator pointed out this is a NON ADVERTISING FORUM so should you wish to make any further comments about your business I suggest you contact the site's owner to arrange paid for advertising. Further comments on your business without the express permission of the owner will result in a complaint being raised about you with the site's admin team and result in you losing the right to post in the forums.

CommentAuthorCompleteToastmaster
Hi.Everyone, Thank you kindly the remarks. I think everyone has there own opinions.
The Modern Toastmaster and Master of Ceremonies does not only make announcments, he will run the show from The ceremony stage until The very end of the evening, adding lots of new modern and memorable touches. It is The Toastmaster that can add The most memorable parts to the day, if he is lively and very modern. Yes 100 percent The bride and groom getting married , is the number 1, many people feel within the wedding trade that My service as Toastmaster and Coordinator is Number 2. The Toastmasters that most of the venues supply withing there packages, will do The very very bare miniumum, you need to find out what is on offer, and compare it to one of the top modern wedding toastmasters.
As i say everyone to there own, but The new modern image and unique toastmaster, is extremely, extremely essential..
Regards Jonathan
CommentAuthorCompleteToastmaster
Hi.Again, Please also remember the Toastmaster does not just announce speeches and call for quiet, a modern toastmaster worth his weight, will construct itineraries, liase with all fellow wedding professionals before the day, andlots and lots more, so much goes on behind the scenes.
