Thank you for visiting my web site.

My aim will always be to offer the best service that money can buy and deliver it with a passion.

I feel privileged to look after my clients on their special days and will always endeavour to provide services to the highest standards.

This work is my love (after my wife, of course), if I can help my clients to have an even better day, on what should be the best day of their lives, how lucky am I. The job satisfaction for wedding work as a toastmaster is the best I have ever known in all my working life.

This area should be for blogging but I feel that I just want my clients to know that I am so proud to be chosen to look after them and am so pleased with all the very kind comments and thank you letters that I receive after their weddings.

Wedding days are generally emotional days. It does help to get things into perspective. If you have your closest family and friends at your wedding, who love and care for you, you will get the day of your dreams. The whole purpose of the day is for the two of you to get married because it is the right thing to do. If you focus on that thought alone, I believe that your day will be wonderful.

Everything else is the icing on the cake and is great, but the whole day is about love, your love for each other and hopefully the love that your guests have for you. What a wonderful situation for me to work in.

There is nothing that I will not do, (I will do anything I can), to help you have the day of your dreams. It is my pleasure to serve you on your special day as it unfolds. It is always marvellous to see and feel the love at weddings, and I do not think that situation will ever change for me.

Enough for now. Thank you for reading my witterings. Please give me a call if you need any help with anything. It will be my pleasure to help if I can.

Very best wishes

2nd November 2007

Now to continue and some of it sadly.

I watch other toastmasters work (or should I say not work).

Comments from two of my associates, who are not toastmasters 'We have not seen that toastmaster do any work, he is here, but what is he doing. He only seems to do the announcements but is not looking after the bride and groom or any of their guests'

Later that day some of the announcements were made without the guests even being encouraged to participate in the proceedings.

It is sad for me to see people purporting to be toastmasters and yet they have no skills or passion for the work.

Be careful when you choose your toastmaster. Look for the best testimonials. Talk to their previous clients. Look for honesty, sincerity and an absolute passion for their work. They will need to be fit to give you the best service. If you want something and you want it now, it should be done for you with no fuss and quickly!

Some venues are realising that toastmasters need to be fit to deliver an excellent service. Some toastmasters are fit regardless of age. Some have a passion to be of service to you - some are none of these things and you need to make sure that you have a quality toastmaster at your wedding, that will care about you! Some venues sell their own toastmaster, who may not be a toastmaster. Some make a profit on the services that they sell. Ask for the testimonials about each service that you buy. It is your money that you are spending and you should want to get best value.

I hope that you get my drift with this. The best service providers at your wedding will give you the best day.

Check to make sure that you have the best. Qualifications or status in their organisations do not guarentee that you will get the best service from people that you employ. It is difficult when you have not met the people that you are going to choose, but make sure that you feel comfortable with them and that you believe that they can deliver the service that you want, in the way that you want it delivered and with a passion, before you employ them.

Some of this may help and other bits may not.

I would love to see a fail safe way for couples getting married, not to have to worry about the quality of the services that they buy. This is difficult and may involve some homework and searching.

Good luck and very best wishes.
