Special review from clients who booked me for there companies corporate Event and Award Ceremony at the Abode Hotel in Canterbury in Kent on 20 May 2023. I was booked as Toastmaster and Presenter:-

‘We knew immediately once we had booked Jonathan that we had done the right thing bringing in in a professional to host and orientate our corporate event. It took a huge amount of pressure off the staff and was very thorough and organised in his approach. Jonathan was very detail orientated which worked great for us, he was happy to suggest things to make things run more smoothly or look more professional.

He turned up early to make sure he had plenty of prep time, this was following a call when we had gone over the process of the night in detail. He was so friendly and approachable when welcoming all our guests. He was happy to jump right in, busy greeting and chatting to our guests all evening. He hosted an awards ceremony for us and really got the crowd into it. We are so pleased with Jonathan’s performance during the evening and wouldn’t hesitate to hire him for future events.

Thanks again Jonathan, we had a great time, hope you did too!

Special review from Bellway Homes who booked me for there Corporate Charity Event on 29 March 2023 in Old Thorns Hotel and Country Club in Hampshire. I was booked as Toastmaster, Coordinator, Auctioneer and more. The client left me this lovely review based on the services i provided.

Hi Jonathan,

Without your expertise and support this evening would not have been as successful as it was, having you there took a lot of the stress and strain away from myself and my helpers. You were amazing at getting our guests to part with their money when the Directors were being auctioned. Thank you.

Having catch up calls via zoom definitely helped because we were able to build up a relationship before the event and what was also helpful, you were able to suggest ideas to us that we would not have thought about for the evening to be fun and as successful as it was, you were also more than happy to listen to our ideas and again guide us in the right direction for these ideas to become a success. Thank you.

I have had some feedback from our guests and they say they had a fabulous time and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Thank you Jonathan, I will pass your details to Nikki. I don’t think she is organising a ball for this year but maybe next year.

Thank you again Jonathan

Kind regards
Claire White

I was Toastmaster and MC at a very nice Diplomatic Reception/ Africa Day Celebrations at Kensington Town Hall. I was delighted to have received this very nice review:-

Dear Jonathan,

Jonathan was a great toastmaster to our African Union Day Gala.

He made the whole event run smoothly, he is extremely articulate and elegant.

During inevitable "stressful" situations that may arise in the organizational side of these type of events, Jonathan managed to tell Entertain the audience very nicely and was very professional at all times.

Overall, the experience was great and I highly recommend Jonathan services.

Kind regards,

Review from Clients in relation to Conference, Awards Ceremony and Gala Dinner at the Grand Connaught Rooms in London.

Hi Jonathan,

" During the planning stages when the need for a Master of Ceremonies arose to hold the whole event together with authority, professionalism and charm, Jonathan’s name was quickly mentioned as one who could more than fill the brief as required.
Jonathan is known and admired in his industry for being passionate and enthusiastic about imparting his knowledge with clarity and wit. He used his skills as an MC to keep over 300 guests fully aware of the evening’s events, weaving his scripted introductions with professional anecdotes and treating our esteemed speakers with warmth and consideration. Nothing phased his expert delivery throughout the whole evening which comprised of conference content and awards ceremony, and it was in this section that Jonathan excelled – by bringing both excitement and a sense of occasion to the proceedings.

Jonathan made being Master of Ceremonies look easy – it isn’t, keeping the attention of the attendees and a full programme of speeches, dinner and awards over many hours requires skill of delivery and stage confidence – Jonathan has the Xtra factor when it comes to both and we will definitely be in contact with Jonathan again for our next event "

Kind Regards
