The origins of proposing a 'toast' at celebrations dates back
to the 17th century, and a toastmaster (also known as a master
of ceremonies or guardian of etiquette) has been a traditional
fixture at Royal and formal social events for centuries.
Today, most weddings are formal occasions and during the
wedding reception require someone to co-ordinate, direct and
announce the ceremonial proceedings such as the receiving
line, speeches and cake cutting ceremony etc.

Toastmaster quick
ref: |
|
There are many benefits to having a professional toastmaster at a
wedding.
A
professional toastmaster wears ceremonial clothes (most noticeably a
red tail coat) thus adding to the pomp and splendour of any wedding.
Experience in dealing with formal occasions brings the toastmaster's
skills in to play, ensuring the smooth and efficient running of a
wedding reception.
They discreetly go about duties and provide confidence and a calming
influence on the bridal party.
Toastmasters are also experts on wedding etiquette and protocol,
which will ensure that the members of your bridal party who have
roles to fulfil during the reception do so in the right order and
without embarrassment.
