PROFESSIONAL

TOASTMASTER

SO WHAT DOES A TOASTMASTER DO?

Well a good one can contribute to making your special event that little bit more so, by taking care of the little things that add up to make big things.

Toastmaster General Paul Capehorn prides himself on taking care of any situation that could arise with seamless ease, through his calming influence, experience and ability to navigate the odd blip with confidence. Weddings should be carefree, joyous occasions. No one directly involved, least of all the bride and bridegroom, should be exposed to small details that might cause a hiccup. If you thought Toastmasters simply raise a glass of champagne, bark at people and bang a gavel, that's only a tiny part of what they can do. A good Toastmaster can bring a whole lot more to your event.

Although Paul's role is traditionally all about ceremony, standing on it is certainly not his style:

"On the Big Day my main focus will be guiding the guests through the various parts of the celebration, enabling the bride and bridegroom to fully relax and enjoy the experience. I will work with planners and/or venue managers to co-ordinate with all the suppliers, to ensure the smoothest experience possible."

Paul offers a specific package for wedding breakfasts details of which are shown below. However, this is only a part of the services the Toastmaster General offers. We are currently re-developing this website to give you a fuller picture of other corporate events, celebrations, and ceremonies that may require the Toastmaster General's unique brand of services.
