Formal Dinners

The range of events that will run more smoothly in the hands of a professional toastmaster is broad.

I officiate at about 40 events a year, many of which are now in Cumbria, where we have lived for the last few years.

Whatever your occasion, the red coat will bring a certain style and my professional expertise will give you confidence.

Scope

Richard Mathews - Toast Master and Event Co-ordinatorI can act as your toastmaster and,  if required, undertake the wider role of event co-ordinator for your  formal dinner or function - whether you are a private individual,  a charity,  an association or corporate business, located anywhere in Cumbria, the lakes, or in the wider UK.


Before your event,

I can advise on the correct protocol to be used on formal occasions - including matters such as seating priority, table planning, the announcement of guests, Grace, wordings for speeches and toasts and much more.
 

During your event

As your event co-ordinator, I make certain your function runs smoothly, ensuring all your planned events happen on time. 

On your behalf, I will liaise with the hotel or caterers and generally ensure that your event is problem free, leaving you able to relax and enjoy the occasion.

I can welcome your guests as they arrive and introduce them if required. I announce dinner, or the commencement of the event, and announce any formal parts of the occasion such as the speeches and toasts, ensuring the correct protocol is observed.
 

As Your Toastmaster

I am the voice of authority at your function. I am experienced in gaining attention and my presence at the dinner will add dignity, style and colour to your event.
