Thank you Roy for being the toastmaster at our wedding on the 29th December.

some fantastic ideas and some lovely little surprises on the day which we are looking forward to on our first anniversary!
The whole day ran so smoothly and this was down to you and the team at the Elvetham. We will definitely be recommending
you to our friends and family – thank you Roy.

"Well, I never knew what a toastmaster was or what they did or how important they are to a wedding day until I met
Roy Austin. He was a great help, kept everything running smoothly, kept the guests entertained and more important
kept me and my husband to be at ease. He is a true gentleman and a great addition to any wedding. Someone I would
recommend to any future bride and husband. Thanks alot roy for making our day so special, you were amazing and
someone we could approach at any time. Thanks again"

Hope you like it and every word is meant!!

I am writing to say that although the day was wet we all had a great time. A lot of that had to do with the the fact that you made the
day so easy. Thank you for all your organisation and talent. I have to say the Firemans Wife poem was wonderful.
Good luck to you and your wife for the future.
Best Wishes

Toastmaster The Cromwell Hotel
Banbury

I just wanted to say thank you SO much for all your great work on 11th June! Thank you for making sure everything run smoothly
and was stress-free and for adding that extra special element to the big day. Everyone told me how fantastic you were, you definitely
exceeded our expectations. Thank you, also, for encouraging me (the bride) to say a few words, I'm not usually one for doing this as
I get VERY nervous when doing speeches, but I am definitely glad I did say something so thank you.

I would definitely recommend anyone considering booking you to do so! The day just wouldn't have been the same without you, you
made sure everyone was having the best time they could and I just can't put into words just how special you made it, with the extra
touches to make it perfect, we couldn't have asked for a better time!

Thank you so much,
From Amber and Adan Sharpe

Toastmaster Easthampstead Park

We would highly recommend Roy Austin to officiate on your wedding day. He completely removed the stress of running the day, and
organised everyone for us. This left us to relax and enjoy our special day. He made sure that as the Bride and Groom, we fitted in some
time alone walking through the grounds of our venue which was much appreciated.
Roy is extremely professional and will add a touch of class to your day. He was more than happy to accomodate any special requirements
or personal touches that we had, and also came up with some fantastic ideas of his own due to his wealth of experience in the role. He even
encouraged me as the Bride to say a few words during the speeches, which on reflection, I would have regretted had I not done so.
Thank you very much Roy for being part of our special day.

Dear Roy

Apologies for the delay in sending you this email.

Nearly 4 weeks ago now you were the toastmaster at our daughters, Zoe Corfield, marriage to Ben Leering at the Old Bell in Hurley.

We cannot thank you enough for your expertise throughout the day, and must say your thoughtfullness and help was above our expetations.

We realise you are doing this on a regular basis, but you made us feel that this was the only wedding you were ever going to be a
toastmaster at and made the whole day very special.

We wish you every success in the future and would like to take this oppurtunity to wish you a Happy Christmas and a Prosperous New Year

With Very Best Regards

Hi Roy,

I know Dans & Lauren have e-mailed you, but I just wanted to thank you so much for your huge contribution in making the day just perfect…..
many of the guests remarked what a lovely man you are, and how easily you fitted in with everybody. Dans & Lauren were overwhelmed with
your kindness & thoughtfulness. You seemed like a really good friend to them. I would recommend you personally to anybody……Dans has
admitted that you were absolutely invaluable….your presence was so vital for the smooth running of the day. I thank you from the bottom of
my heart.

Toastmaster at Parley Manor

Hi Roy

Hope you're well!

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for all your help on our amazing day. The day was so perfect and all your advice and help made everything
run smoother than we could ever have imagined.Thank you also for the special attention you paid to Claire through-out the day, I know she really
appreciated it, as did me & Lauren. You really was an absolute joy to have there, and it really felt like you were one of the guests.

All the little touches were very unexpected, especially the coin and the cork, such a lovely thought Roy! Also the idea with the champagne bottle
and the name cards, again a great idea that went down really well, we both look forward to reading them in 12 months time!
The other amazing idea was to auction the flowers on the table, at the end of the day we had raised £500, which is unbelievable!!! We split the money
between the Royal Marsden and Cancer Research, which they were extremely grateful for and wrote us a letter of thanks, so thank you for such a great idea, again!

I have also spoke to James and he is going to email you, as I know he was really happy to have you around on the day, and would like to show his thanks.

Again Roy, thank you so much for all your help, you was so professional throughout the day, and we really couldn't recommend you highly enough to all our friends.
In fact I've already given your number out to a prospective client, so I hope something comes of that for you. I believe it's a wedding at Parley Manor again, so you'll
know the set up, which I'm sure will help. it was a pleasure to have you there on our special day.

Thanks again Roy, take care!!

Hi Roy!

James and I have just arrived back off our honeymoon and I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all you did for us on our wedding day.
The day was perfect and ran so smoothly with all your help and advice. We can't thank you enough, throughout the day you were so professional
and yet felt like a friend we'd known for ages! I'd also like to say thank you for the care and attention you paid towards my dad I know he appreciated
all your assistance and it made the day far more relaxing for him and my mother. Again we can't thank you enough and will definitely be recommending
you to any of our friends who tie the knot in the future.

Take care and all the best

Jules and James

The dust has just settled and I can now reflect on the utterly professional manner that you conducted yourself as toastmaster at
our recent Ball at The Hilton Hotel in Reading.It was a pleasure to work with you, and to have your guidance throughout was invaluable.

I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone who requires a toastmaster, and I look forward to working with you
again in the future.

Once again many thanks for all your help.
Kind regards,
Adrienne.

Roy,

Just a quick email from Katie and I, we would like to thank you for your fantastic service you provided on our wedding day at
Brocket Hall. You were everything we expected and much much more.

The day ran so smoothly without any hiccups! we will be recommending you to anyone we know who decides to get married!

Kind regards

Toastmaster at Brocket Hall

Hi Roy,

Iwould like to thank you for your attention to detail, and your excellent services provided on Saturday at Katie and Toms Wedding .
I had in the early days suggested that she should consider the services of a Master of Ceremonies, and to those ends she contacted
yourself. I must say that your professional services far exceeded my expectations on the day, and your manner in which you made
Katie and Tom feel at ease, knowing that any questions or problems would be dealt with personally by you, you really put her at ease.
You are in our eyes a credit to your Association of English Toastmasters and your profession. By the way, their first gift, with the cork
and coin was excellent, we have neither of us heard of the origins of the meaning of both, but are the wiser for it. Many of the guests
have commented how delightfull the Toastmaster was on the day.

Once again, thank you for an excellent day, you are worth your weight in gold.

Kind regards,

Trevor Fordham (Father of the Bride)

Thanks again

of glamour to the day and made the day run totally smoothly. You were
so attentive to our needs and always made sure we had everything we
wanted.

You did a brilliant job and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your
services to anyone looking for a Toastmaster in the future.

Thank you again for all your help. Both before the wedding day and on

Dear Roy,

We would like to thank you for the marvelous service you provided during our Wedding Day.
On occasions throughout the day we faced some stressful situations, what with family getting lost and you
personally directing them to our venue, but you kept both of us calm and made it possible for my Grandparents
to witness our marriage, for that I am eternally grateful.You were so professional and made me feel at ease
during one of the most important days of my life.You helped my Dad and the Groomsmen, which is no easy task.
But most importantly, you made it so my new husband and I could enjoy our day and not be focused on 'who's
doing what' as our faith was in you and you did not let us down.

You are a specialist in your occupation and I advise anyone who is facing
such an important event do so with you by their side.

Thank you again

I really mean every word, you are a treasure and we can not thank you enough for being at our wedding
and helping us on our day.

Mark and Liz

May 16th 2010.

Rhinefield House, Brockenhurst.

Liz and I asked Roy to be our toastmaster for the "special day " and he was truly exceptional beforehand
and on the day.

Roy advised us brilliantly and offered us ideas to make our day even more special. We did this in two ways.
It was Roys idea to have a "candle of remembrance" for Liz's Dad, ( bride's father ) who had passed away
and invite two love birds in the form of two white doves which we held and released before the wedding breakfast.

Any couple that think they don't need a toastmaster then think again because everyone needs a "conductor
of the orchestra" on such a busy day, believe me! Roy was certainly in tune with everything.

Roy was tremendous in every way, he was idea giving beforehand and sensitive to our needs and commanded
a subtle but precise presence throughout the day. We had great feedback from our guests too who enjoyed his
humour and banter.

Roy you were a star in so many ways and we are both so grateful that you were our toastmaster and managed
the day and staff at Rhinefield House so brilliantly.

Thank you so much,

Liz and Mark Broomhall.

We just wanted to say thank you so much for making sure our
day went according to plan. Your attention to detail was fantastic,
and we are really pleased you could be part of our day.

Just a little note to say a massive thank you for all your help at our wedding on

your total control made our day run smoothly and made it extra fun for all of us as
we didnt have to worry about anything. We had the most fantastic day and we
cant thank you enough.

Matt, who initially didn't think we needed a Toastmaster!
Thanks so much!

Charlotte and Nik
Royal Berkshire Hotel

First of all I would like to say that I think involving a toastmaster in our wedding
was one of the best decisions (if not the best) we made when planning our wedding.
With the benefit of hindsight,I can see how easily our day could have lost direction and
momentum without someone with experience to underpin and guide the proceedings.
Also, I am glad we chose you in particular as our toastmaster, you brought the
perfect balance ofprofessionalism and informality, authority and friendliness to the day
and helped everyone (myself especially) feel so much more at ease than we otherwise would have.
I cannot thank you enough for being the rock that allowed us to sit back, relax and enjoy
the day knowing that everything was under control, and the gestures of the cork, the poem and
even the suggestion of a round of applause for the chef, all helped to make our day what it was.

Matt and Laura -
Woodlands Park Hotel

Roy is a MUST for your big day!! What a first class toastmaster he is!!
He made our day even more special and made it run so smoothly and organised.
He covered every single detail 100% and made sure we enjoyed our big day to the full!!
I can say that when he left us on our big day he put a tear in both our eyes!!
I would recommend Roy to anyone.

The Best Toastmaster Ever

Roy is the best toastmaster ever, as he kept me so calm on the day of my wedding.
I was so nervous before the day. He is as professional as he looked really smart and
made sure our wedding day ran smoothly without a hitch from beginning to end.
I would definitely trust Roy to host any event and highly recommend him.

Mr. & Mrs. James

Weston Manor

How many people can say their wedding day went without a single hitch,
I can thanks to Roy Austin!
I had the most magical wedding day everything went perfectly, thanks to Roy.
He knew exactly what was happening at every moment of the day.
I truly don’t know how anyone could do it without him. His service is first class!
To any couple planning a wedding the most important piece of advice
I could give to you is to hire Roy Austin.
He seemed to know exactly how we wished for our day to go and
ensured that it happened.
Without a doubt the best money we spent, he was worth every penny and more.
To everyone else hired on the day I gave them printed strict instructions on what they
needed to do and when but with Roy I knew it wasn’t needed and I was so right.
He was one step ahead of everything! I can’t stress enough how vital he was to our day.
Thanks Roy!

It will run like clockwork,
We hired Roy having met him at a wedding fair. We explained we wanted an informal approach
at a very formal location. Roy stated he would do what we wanted and he did. He'll be there before
anyone ensuring the set up is in order. He was on hand all day for myself as the groom for an
y little issue that arose and since the wedding every guest we have spoken too have praised his
services.This is the biggest day of your life; strongly recommend hiring
Roy to ensure everything goes perfectly.

A really big thank you to you for making our wedding special, you really made the day for

Thank you very much for making our wedding day so very special.
Until you arrived I was drowning in stress!
You are definitely an essential investment to any couple and absolutely
worth your weight in gold! An important asset to any wedding.
We would have been lost without you!
All the guests commented on how smoothly everything went,
thanks to your expertise and your professional yet friendly
approach to all aspects of the day. Also your air of authority kept
everyone in hand including the staff and our lively photographer!
And your sense of humour put people at ease.
The poem you wrote and read for us was a lovely

If you want your day to be stress free Roy's the man for you. Professional, smart
and very well organised. Roy turned up two hours before the wedding to make sure
it was how I wanted and he kept the day so relaxed for us I didn’t have to think or
worry about anything. This man is always one step ahead of you.
Excellent service.
Thank you Roy.

Priceless!
Finding Roy was the best thing we did! The way he looked after everyone
and made sure everything was perfect made our day run more smoothly
than we could have hoped for. Any nerves we had were instantly forgotten!
He also surprised us with a beautiful poem, which made the day even more special.
Our parents were worry free for the whole day, meaning they were able to enjoy
it the way they deserved to, all thanks to Roy. Roy and his help really are priceless,
we would recommend him without hesitation to anyone who wants their
wedding to really be the perfect day they dreamed of.
Thanks Roy, you made our day!

Gary & Samantha

A gentleman, a professional and a top man.
Roy was an absolute legend. He made the day go so smoothly and took so much
pressure of us. He let us be able to enjoy the day even more.
Upon arriving at our wedding venue
I was very nervous and worried that things would not go to plan. Why worry?
Roy took care of everything and within 5 minutes of meeting
him he had put my mind totally to rest. We couldn''t have done it without him and
would like to say a huge thank you again. Should you need a toastmaster get
Roy Austin. He''s professional, a gentleman and a thoroughly top bloke.
cheers Roy

Alan & Michelle

Fantastic gent and a fantastic service
Had Roy not been involved in our day i do not think it would have gone like it did.... clockwork.
Kind to guests, reaassuring to us and just a brilliant bloke.
On the one day you do not have time and do not need to think about anything
other than each other his help is invaluable. If you are in any doubt as to
if you need a toast master then you should not be if you need one
I could not recommend him more.
