Portishead has its very own Toastmaster and Paul Maltby is happy to share his thoughts on the way in which a toastmaster can make your wedding run smoothly:
These include:
- Ensuring the venue is ready.
- Receive and greet your guests as they arrive to the reception and organize the receiving line, announce guests to the hosts.
- Liaise with the caterers to ensure the meal is served on time.
- Ensure that all guests are seated at the appropriate time for the meal.
- Co-ordinate acceptance of gifts.
- Organize and announce the cutting of the cake.
- Announce the toasts and the speakers.
- Assist in the presenting gifts or bouquets.
- Announce and escort the retiring couple at the end of the wedding breakfast.
- Say Grace if required or introduce the guest who is to perform this duty.
- Introduce the formal speakers and assist with any presentations.
- Make sure that everything runs according to plan.
