"You did help to make a special day relaxed and enjoyable for us and I had needed convincing - while everything else had been meticulously planned for months, a Toastmaster was a last minute addition, but in your case it was very much money well spent..."

The red-coated Toastmaster is a uniquely British tradition, lending distinction to formal and semi-formal ceremonies, events and celebrations. The modern Toastmaster offers the traditional services of greeting and announcing guests and introducing speeches and toasts, but combines these with the roles of advisor, organiser, function liaison, linkman and diplomat.

Jane Burridge, The Lady Toastmaster, is one of the very few professionally trained and accredited ladies working in this field. Jane will advise on the correct procedure in accordance with the accepted traditions of social order, protocol and etiquette; she will act as a master of ceremonies in a formal or informal manner; and she will co-ordinate the event on the day so host and guests may relax, knowing that someone has an eye on the clock, the formalities and the guests.
