We were initially unsure whether we wanted your services but after our initial meeting we realised there would be many things you would do for us during the entire ceremonial day to make the whole day run more smoothly.

Some of points we especially appreciated were:-

• The authority and dignity with which you conducted the event 

• Your attention to detail to understand all the event management requirements and protocols on the day

• The greeting of  guests from both sides on arrival at the venue

• Assisting the Photographer, Videographer, DJ and coordinating with the Caterers   

• Regularly announcing all arrangements so that guest were always well informed

• Clearly introducing speakers 

All of the above made our event more memorable but also a stress-free event and additionally many our guests commented on how great you were in directing the day. We are happy to recommend you to any of our friends to the similar occasions     "

Date : 12 August 2011 

Layer Marney Tower is on of The countries most Historic buildings, it reigns back to The Henry VIII period, and is set on The most spectacular of Landscapes.

I was delighted to be appointed by The clients to officiate as Essex Toastmaster and Essex Wedding Master of Ceremonies. The style The clients asked for was Professional and yet lots of fun, as this is exactly what they got.  I was fortunate enough to work alongside some fantastic wedding professionals on The day, as a very Passionate Toastmaster in Essex, I always pray for a good team, and my prayers were answered, with a great team. I worked alongside a fantastic DJ, by The name of Mike Butcher, who was very familiar with Layer Marney Tower, as he has worked there several times in The passed, he was kind enough to e-mail me a wonderful testimonial as you can see below:-

      "Having worked at literally hundreds of weddings over the past 10 years both in live bands and as a professional DJ, I recently had the pleasure of working alongside Jonathan at a wedding reception at Layer Marney Tower in Essex. I would like to say how smoothly the event was run, and a large percentage of this was down to Jonathan's enthusiastic, friendly and highly professional approach to everything from organising the guests to announcing important events such as the first dance, cake cutting and speeches in his own modern and dynamic way. From calling the suppliers beforehand (including myself), and sending through a highly detailed itinerary before the day, I was very impressed with his attention to detail and professional attitude. If you are looking for a toastmaster for your wedding (which I would highly recommend), then without a doubt Jonathan will be a great addition to your special day. - Mike Butcher (Essence Music Agency - DJ)"
