DESIGN

MY DUTIES AND SUMMARY OF HOW IT WORKS
"One thing I've learnt is that it's about attention to every detail, no matter how small, especially during the early stages of truly understanding what the client wants for the day".
A professional Toastmaster will make such a positive difference to your enjoyment of your day.
PRE-EVENT PLANNING
Our early discussions are key. The more we explore options, the smoother your wedding day will run. As a bride, groom, or parent, you’ll have many timed events to manage — but you deserve to enjoy the day without stress. Weddings are costly; you should experience yours fully.
How I help:
-
Review your schedule in detail so we both know who’s doing what and when
-
Work closely with you on every detail of your plans
-
Suggest a schedule of events
-
Advise on etiquette, speeches, and toasts
-
Consider special needs like wheelchair access or guest books
-
Recommend suppliers and ensure nothing is overlooked
-
Liaise with venue staff to keep everything on track
