Kent based wedding toastmasters go the extra mile to ensure YOUR day is special.

Kent based wedding toastmasters go the extra mile to ensure YOUR day is special.

Last Wednesday evening Your Toastmasters, Kent based wedding toastmasters and masters of ceremonies, visited a couple who are having their ceremony at St. Peter’s Church followed by their wedding breakfast at Courtstairs, Pegwell.

Lots of planning had already been done but there were still some suppliers needed for their special day.

Nikki, a Wedding Lady Toastmaster, has made many contacts throughout East Kent, and was able to suggest some suppliers, musician Paul ‘One Love’ Messenger to play during the afternoons canapé and champagne and Leon from First Dance to help choreograph something special for the couple’s first dance.  Mark from Courtstairs was also contacted and he has kindly allowed access to the venue the day before so as the venue can be styled.

Choosing Your Toastmasters not only makes YOUR actual day special, we can also support and advise throughout the planning process months beforehand.

We are delighted to be the wedding toastmasters for such a lovely vibrant couple.

Although November seems a long way in the future for Josephine Pollen from ISP Photography it will come all too soon.

She is organising a charity event at Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Church in Broadstairs, Thanet in support of SANDS charity.

Many local wedding suppliers have been invited to participate and as wedding toastmasters we at Your Toastmasters have been asked to attend as well as being MC’s for the fashion show.

It is always rewarding to be recognised by others in the wedding industry.  East Kent has many excellent businesses to support brides and grooms on their special day. 

So why not make a note of the date Saturday 17^th November 2012 from 10am – 5pm it would be great to see you there.

From a past pupil to future bride!

From a past pupil to future bride!

Being a wedding toastmaster is such a rewarding job.  An example of this is when we met a former pupil at the Royal in Ramsgate to discuss plans for her future wedding at St Luke’s Church in Ramsgate and the North Foreland Golf Club. 

The need to contact suppliers as early as possible is so important.  Although the wedding is in March 2013 it has still been challenging for the bride to source everything she desires to make her dream wedding possible.  Fortunately Your Toastmasters were available on this particular date and we are looking forward to the whole day.

As wedding toastmasters and masters of ceremonies we recommend that all brides book their preferred suppliers as early as possible to avoid disappointment.

To conclude the event for the Wish List Sally from Flowersby SP sabraged her first bottle of champagne. Both Jonathan & Nikki, Sabreur members of the Confrerie du Sabre d’Or were very impressed at how expertly Sally performed this ancient art of opening champagne.

Your Toastmasters and The Wedding Wish List thank Laura for organising the event on behalf of the Pavilion and Thorley Taverns.

As it was such a beautiful evening what better way to spend it than going over to the Anchor at Wingham to listen to Paul ‘One Love’Messenger.  A talented performer who always connects with his audience and as usual the whole pub was rocking.  Despite numerous encores it all ended too soon.  Here’s to the next time.

St Peters Church in Thanet is a classic English Church in the Garden of England and on the 26^th May 2012 Your Toastmasters had the good fortune to be there for the wedding of Leanne and James.

The bridal party were transported in at 1962 split screen VW campervan by Classics for Occasions, whilst the bride arrived in a classic white Bentley.

Their service was conducted by Jonathan Cruickshank, a charming man, who made everyone welcome.  Following the service the wedding party travelled over to Quex ParkBirchington, for the reception and as usual the venue and staff were on top form.

After the excellent speeches the groom performed sabrage in the gardens and was presented with a certificate from Nikki Curran, female toastmaster and a Maitre Sabreur for the Confrerie du Sabre d’Or.

Nikki & Jonathan, Your Toastmasters received many very kind words from the happy couple, guests and staff.

It’s so rewarding to be part of a wedding and help make it special for all concerned.

Best wishes to both families and all the guests

Thanet Flying Club Fun Fly 20^th May 2012 at T.G.Aviation.

Your Toastmasters had their Event Coordinator hats on at T.G.Aviation Manston, on Saturday 20^th May 2012.  This was to assist with the organisation and running of the first Fun Fly Event of the season for Thanet Flying Club based at T.G. Aviation.

On a pleasant early summers afternoon intrepid aviators arrived for a flight briefing and to collect their ‘flour bombs’ for the traditional test of skill and daring. Throughout the flying spectators were kept informed about the ‘bombers’ by Bill and his fantastic commentary.  Those on the ground were also treated to several spectacular aerial displays which included Sue & Les in their fantastic flying machines.
