Do you want the most relaxed, enjoyable, and memorable wedding day ever!
Then you need the Toastmaster services provided by Michael Kellett (member of the English Toastmasters Association)
www.wedding-toastmaster.co.uk
With nearly 40 years experience as a DJ, Wedding Photographer and now a Toastmaster, you are bound to have the day of your life that you dreamed of.
Well before your special day, the details are discussed and noted and your thoughts made into a reality.
To cover for any eventuality, Michael carries equipment which has a list a mile long of all the things that you may need but have not got (a zip repair kit, wellies for wet weather, glues, needles and cottons in many colours, sting cream, clear nail varnish for ladders in tights, spare clips for pierced ear rings, plus toothpaste, deodorant, pins, first aid kit and cufflinks for the men). This kit of equipment is certainly the most comprehensive carried by any Toastmaster in the North of England, and Michael even has his own Public address system for when you have a lot of guests and quiet speakers.
Do not leave to luck, or to the hotels own duty manager who has possibly not had the training or experience to look after you the way they should. Telephone for a chat or quotation and details, or contact the website

WeddingToastmaster Services by Michael Kellett.
What does a Toastmaster Do!
At a wedding a Toastmaster greets guests as they arrive and directs them to a gathering point be it the lounge, bar or outside on a sunny day.
The bridegroom and attendent's buttonholes are correctly pinned in place and any nerves calmed before the ceremony.
Everyone is gathered into the room and seated ready for the bridal party to be brought to the entry door. A tissue is given to the bride and bridesmaids if needed and a smile put on the bride ready for the long walk.
Once the ceremony is over the guests are directed to an area outside for photographs, the Toastmaster finding any missing guests so that the photographs do not take hours.
During this time the dress is carried, glasses of champange held, canopies fetched, any presents moved to a table in the hotel, and generally making sure all guests are happy pointing out toilets and other amenities.
When the time comes for a receiving line, the couple, parents, best man and bridesmaids are gathered and lined up before shaking hands with all guests.
The new couple are announced into the reception room and the wedding breakfast begins.
After the meal the speeches are announced and presents handed out.
Using a Professional Toastmaster over allowing the venues duty manager to announce the speeches, is that the Toastmaster is looking after you on your behalf, and not like the duty manager who is looking after the Hotel on their behalf.
The main difference between other Toastmasters and Michael is the amount of equipment carried for any of those little emergencies. A full boot area of his estate car has boxes full of toothpaste, brushes, combs, hair styling gel, shampoo, hair spray, deodorant, gel pads for shoes, three first aid kits, glues, sticky tape, needles and cottons, velcro, tie wraps, pins, safety pins, wellies for wet weather, pashminas for cold weather and bridesmaids with off shoulder dresses, umbrellas, a tile to stand on when ground is soft (for the bride) plus raffle tickets, wire and tape to make new button holes, even a ratchet strap to keep a broken exhaust off the floor while driving to an exhaust centre.
A PA system and microphones and music facilities is available for larger venues and high number of guests.
