Simon Smith (the photographer) mentioned he had forwarded you some photos which we hope you have received. Do let us know if not.

We will certainly recommend you to anyone planning a wedding – you are a star!

A letter was received form Linda & Tim after the marriage of their daughter Deborah to Carl.

We are writing to express our heartfelt thanks to you for helping to make Deborah and Carl's day so special. The fact that we were able to relax and enjoy the day so much was due in no small measure to your skills as our toastmaster. There may have been many cries behind the scenes but, if there were, we were not aware of them.

A number of people complimented us on the smooth running of the day. You can be sure that we will recommend you to our friends for their future events.

Dear Garry,

Thank you SO much for the wonderful job you did for us, controlling 400 people!! We hope you enjoyed your first Indian Wedding...

Thank you for doing such a fantastic job - the day was absolutely perfect and we couldn't have asked for more from our brilliant toastmaster!

You really looked after us and our guests and we both really appreciated it.

Thank you once again Garry.

I was delighted to receive a card and some comments taken from the Quality Survey Form, from Hayley and Andy, whose wedding I was Toastmaster at in June

Dear Garry,

Just a quick note to say a big thank you. You truly were amazing on the day. I was at ease through the whole day thanks to you. We couldn’t have done without you.

Love & best wishes,

Hayley & Andy

How did I make a difference to your function?

“Peace of mind for all concerned, as it was at Andy’s parents it brought formality to the affair, made us all feel comfortable and organised. From the first contact made with you I felt relaxed. Brilliant ideas made the day memorable. I would definitely recommend you to all. You were a huge hit at our wedding. 1^st class”.

An email received from Margaret and Kevin following their wedding in Bletchley in May.

Hi Garry,

We have received your quality survey questioner and will return it shortly.

However in the meantime you can take this quote with you "I don't know how much you paid for him, but whatever it was he is worth every penny"

Thank you for making our day go so well, we could not have had a better one.

Regards,

Margaret & Kevin

The following letter was received from the President and his Lady of Leighton Cross Masonic Lodge after their Ladies’ Festival on Saturday 25^th April

“Dear Garry,

We would like to thank you for being our Toastmaster at our Ladies’ Festival last Saturday.

We appreciate your attention to detail, good humour and very professional approach, all of which ensured that the evening was a hugely successful occasion – one to be remembered and enjoyed by everyone.

Thank you again,

With our best wishes,

Liz & Roy

A card and letter which was received following the wedding of Laura-Jane & Chris from Eric & Jane (Laura-Jane’s parents).

Dear Garry,

We just wanted to say a big ‘thank you’ for being such a wonderful Toastmaster for Laura-Jane’s Wedding Day.

You were professional in every respect, very attentive to all the family and guests and nothing was too much trouble for you. From the moment we booked you, we had complete peace of mind and you gave us professional advice on things we were unsure of and hadn’t thought of.

Our sincere thanks for helping to make the day that extra bit special.

With very best wishes,

Jane & Eric

Dear Garry

We wanted to say “thank you” for your role as Toastmaster at the wedding of Laura-Jane and Chris on Saturday. As you were aware, our decision to hire a professional Toastmaster for the day was a last minute decision with only three months to go. However, from the moment we met you, you gave us all complete peace of mind and we felt that the whole worry of the occasion had been lifted from our shoulders. Your presence at both the Church and venue was so reassuring, and nothing was too much trouble during the whole day and evening. Everything went like clockwork and without any hitches whatsoever, and the guests remarked on how very helpful you were, without being obtrusive. We have even been told that you were rather concerned about one elderly guest who happened to be diabetic (although you did not know this at the time) and you managed to rustle up some sandwiches from the chef before the wedding breakfast was served. Laura-Jane has since remarked that she did not think she would have got through the day without you, as you managed to suppress the nerves (and hold her bouquet!!)

Once again, the whole family would like to thank you for all of your help, both before and during the day itself. Our special day was perfect, made so by your presence.

With our very best wishes

Jane and Eric

The following comments have been received from Chris & Laura-Jane Lewis together with a copy of their wedding DVD

“Garry was booked for our wedding as a surprise by our parents. He was a wonderful and welcome addition to the day. He was very conscientious and willing to help at every opportunity. He was always on hand carrying my make-up and holding my Champagne glass during the photos. His toasting skills were brilliant and he kept an eye on timekeeping, which was important. He really helped a perfect day to flow brilliantly and I would wholeheartedly recommend him”.

Another email which was received from Trish after their Christmas Ball in aid of Macmillan Cancer Care

Hi Garry,

As promised here are some pics from the Christmas Ball.

I would just like to say a really big 'THANKYOU' for all your enthusiasm on Saturday 13th December ....and your hard work especially getting peoples full attention at times.

You did a fantastic job greeting everyone and made it a very special evening with all the little extra services e.g helping with the raffle, helping people to and from their cars with an umbrella to stop them getting wet and I think in general making people feel special.

Thanks again and also for Mum's 80th birthday, she felt very honoured and I will definately recommend you to others if they require that sort of service for any special occasion.

Wishing you and your family best wishes and a very prosperous New Year.

Trish

This email was received from Karen, co organiser of the Macmillan Christmas Ball

Dear Garry,

I must say what an amazing job you did last night Garry at our Macmillan Christmas Ball, we had lots of very good feedback about you. I thought you were very professional in your outlook and very well prepared for the night. You had obviously done your homework about Macmillan Cancer support. The little touches like being there for the ladies with an umbrella when they arrived made it very special.

Several people were interested in knowing about your services and I’m sure we may need you again in the future. We all felt the night was a great success and we raised approximately £1,700 which we didn’t feel was too bad for our first attempt.

I would certainly recommend you to anyone.

Thank you for a job very well done.

Karen
