Toastmaster
​
John Ashmele FGPT
Socials: @johnashmeletoastmaster
My main aim as Master of Ceremonies at your wedding is to take the agreed plan and make it work on the day. After all those months of planning and preparation, this is when you want everything to be just right, so that you can relax with your family and friends and let me soak up most of the stress.
​
It is very tempting to cut costs and ask a member of your family or a friend to act as your Toastmaster, but it really does pay to have an experienced Master of Ceremonies to guide you through the pitfalls rather than ‘winging it’ on the day.
If you want to discover how I will make your wedding run smoothly and on time, leaving you free to enjoy the occasion alongside your guests, please contact me because I'd love to be the difference that will make your guests talk about your wedding long after you've said: "I Do!".
