WEDDING 2ND AUGUST 2025
     

Trevor has been a fantastic part of my and my partner's wedding. He discussed the day in advance on a zoom call so that we knew exactly what we should expect, and gave us some great advice for the day and how we should make the schedule work. On the day, Trevor wore his amazing uniform and for the duration of the full day event, he kindly but very effectively moved the guests at the right moments in time and ensured that the event went without a hitch despite having to move people (including children and non-English speaker) multiple times. He also gave us a moving speech at the wedding breakfast. Definitely made the day so much more special. Would recommend to anyone.

T & Cat Wedding

Anglo American Celebration
     

July 2025 and the hottest day to date this year, saw a Kentish Wedding Celebration at Port Lympne of which I had the pleasure to Toastmaster. Some of the guests had travelled from the USA to support Cat the American Bride. The couple write to say; Just wanted to pass on a quick note to say thank you for your role in our wedding last week - we just had the most magical perfect day that was even better than we could have hoped, so thank you! You were wonderful throughout and we really appreciated how thoughtful and considerate you were the entire time. We hadn't given thought to a toastmaster role when we started the planning, but we're so glad we had you there and several of the guests commented how excellent you were. We're struggling to come back to earth from such an amazing day, but thank you so much, your fantastic service is so appreciated!

Hi Trevor, I wanted to say thank you for everything you did at Laura’s wedding. You looked great and were excellent. You kept the day running smoothly and you being there and your professionalism helps everybody relax; and thanks for the heads up on when the speeches would start. I really liked your analogy of the bride and groom being like white and red wine I’m not sure I was able to thank you enough before you left. So, thanks again. You’re a really nice guy and brilliant at what you do. Best wishes Alan, Father of the Bride Port Lympne, June 2025.

Daniel & Hayley

Wedding 27th April 2024 at The Orangery Maidstone
     

Myself and my now new wife, Hayley decided to use Trevor as our Toastmaster at The Orangery on the 12th April 2024. I can safely say it was one of the best decisions we made and we are so grateful and lucky to have found Trevor. From the initial introduction meetings all the way through to the wedding and then the day itself we couldnt ask for more. Trevor was polite, charming, full of character and smiling through the whole day, he organised everyone perfectly and made the announcements superbly. Even helped me with my speech with his tips sheet 😊. The day would not have been the same without Trevor, so we thank him personally and highly recommend anyone else looking for a Toastmaster to use his services, you will not regret it. Daniel

Trevor was the Toastmaster at my daughters wedding recently. He was absolutely brilliant and the manner in which he managed the process was exemplary. He put people at ease, and ensured the day ran seamlessly. His experience shines through and he made such a huge difference to the success of the day. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Dale (Father of Sophie) 01/02/22

Dennis and Amy Ivory August 2022

     

We hired Trevor as toastmaster for our wedding, and we could not be happier with our decision, Trevor helped make the day flow by so effortlessly, always there to direct us where we needed to be but always allowed us the control, it stopped my wife and I having to think or worry about what was happening next or how long we had left to take photographs for example. If you are thinking about having Trevor as your toastmaster at your wedding but are unsure, just do it, I promise you that you will not regret it, and it will add so much to your day as well as giving you fewer things to worry about on the day, allowing you to relax more and soak in the big day.

Chloe and Brandon

Winter Wedding Broadstairs

Pierremont Hall Broadstairs was the chosen venue of Chloe and Brandon for their Winter Wedding on the 6th December. A pleasure to be the Toastmaster for them both in such a super setting. Many Congratulations!


What happens if my chosen date has to be changed.

Plans for your Wedding, can be disrupted when least expected.  In the unlikely event that a date change becomes necessary Trevor will do his up most to provide service personally on your new advised date. However in the event of circumstances preventing him from doing so, you have the assurance of knowing that The Professional Toastmaster's Guild will be able to supply one of it's Fellows to ensure your Day is managed perfectly.

Where can we meet to discuss our requirements

Traditionally a Toastmaster will attend a number of Wedding exhibitions and Fayres throughout the year. Trevor has always supported Wedding Fayres in those venues with whom he has worked closely with over a number of years.
As there is a huge variety of Wedding Professionals to speak with at such occasions, a personal meeting will be the best solution.
This can be arranged via an internet Zoom call without any obligation to discuss exactly how you would like your special day to unfold. 

We like the idea of having our day managed but don't like formality

The emphasis on the way in which Trevor manages your day is totally your choice. A Toastmaster knows how to handle the protocol required but will only ever provide a service as specified by you. Important factor's of Wedding celebrations today are Happiness, Laughter and Fun, often with or without formality, the choice is yours. You can gain a sense of the way in which Trevor can provide a service to your exact needs by checking out  the photo gallery contained on this website.

How long can we expect to have your services

You can rely on Trevor, your Toastmaster for as long as you wish him to attend you on this important day.
Normal practice will see the Toastmaster arriving up to two hours before your Ceremony is due to take place. This specifically applies to ceremonies taking place at the same venue as your planned Wedding Breakfast and evening party. The Toastmaster can attend church if required but this generally is not necessary and would be subject toa separate charge.
How the day unfolds and what you will expect from the Toastmaster will be covered in our planning meeting held well in advance of your Marriage. The service provided can include announcement of the First Dance, this normally takes place around 8pm, therefore where a ceremony having taken place at 2pm it will mean the Toastmasters' average time with you and your guests will be around eight hours.

How do I make payment

The terms for supplying Toastmaster Services remain the same even if your circumstances change.
Once you have decided Trevor is the Toastmaster you wish to reserve for your event, a non refundable booking fee of 50% of the total cost will guarantee the date. The balance is payable thirty days before your event.

A family member is concerned about making a speech at my Wedding

This question is raised more often then you might imagine. Often the thought of having to speak publicly is far worse than the deed on the day. Trevor can assist in a number of ways. Perhaps as an example, guidance about content.
Experience over the years has proved that following a good banquet with plentiful wine the task of making speeches, for instance, by The Father of the Bride, The Bridegroom and The Best Man becomes far less daunting.

What geographical area's do you cover as a Toastmaster

To keep my fee's competitive, as a general rule I will work within a seventy mile radius of my home in Ashford. This will cover the counties of Kent, East Sussex, Surrey, South East Essex and most of the outer London Borough's.
I have the recommendation of a number of venue's, as an example;
Glow Events who operate Wedding Venues at Westenhanger Castle, Folkestone, Bilsington Priory,  Aldington, The Orangery, Maidstone & The Gardens Yalding.
Port Lympne Reserve & Hotel near Folkestone
Ashford International Hotel, Ashford
The Burlington Hotel, Folkestone
Eastwell Manor, Ashford
If you would like to reserve my services outside of this geographical area's I will be more than pleased to provide a bespoke
quotation.

We have already booked a venue, can we engage you separately

Yes - although Trevor has arrangements with hotels and venue's being their preferred Toastmaster, it does not preclude him from working directly with you or the event organiser, in any venue of your choice. Trevor has a standard fee structure which will cover travelling a round trip of 140 miles. Beyond this mileage there will be a surcharge based on additional mileage only.

What will your Services Cost

The fee structure really does depend on many factors. How long will the Toastmaster be with you on the day.   How much pre-planning will be required. The simplest way for Trevor to provide a costing is to gain some preliminary answers from you. This can be achieved quickly and easily by a telephone discussion or a ZOOM MEETING. You will not be in any way obligated to engage Trevor, and you can use the opportunity to ask as many questions as necessary.
