Hi Jonathan,
I just wanted to say, you did a fantastic job of keeping everyone in check and on time, and it made a huge difference. We do tell most clients at Stoneleigh Abbey to have a Toast Master and I will recommend yourself going forward.
Thank you again and look forward in working with you soon.

Very Special Review from Top Wales Venue ' Celtic Manor '
Jonathan was hired by the Bride & Groom to act as a toastmaster and co-coordinator for their wedding celebration on the 21st, April 2019. Throughout the entire day Jonathan worked well and assisted the Celtic Manor team to deliver a 5* experience to each guest who attended the wedding. Jonathan communicated well with the team and with the main point of contacts within the wedding party. During the procession at the front of the hotel he interacted well with the guests to bring the atmosphere within the procession ‘alive’. It was great to have him there as a contact and to help with the main points of the day to make service smooth and to enhance the guest experience. We look forward to working with him in the future!
Thanks

Special Review from Top Surrey Wedding & Events Venue ' Kew Gardens '
It was an absolute pleasure to work with Jonathan Waterman, The Complete Toastmaster, at Kew Gardens. He was cooperative in working alongside the venue event staff to ensure everything ran smoothly for both the venue and the guests. His energy was abundant as he greeted and directed guests throughout the day, keeping everyone smiling and entertained from beginning to end.

Special Review from Top Surrey Wedding & Events Venue ' Non Such Mansion '
Jonathan was a pleasure to work with from the beginning – he was so organised on the lead up to the wedding…emailing over his schedule and checking in with all the suppliers!
He was very professional on the day but also great fun to work with.
His booming voice was great for organising everyone.
The bride and groom were very grateful he was there and in total control of each step of the wedding.
He also added a few fun aspects…the bride and groom doing shots of tequila with the speeches and the cake feeding was great!
I recommend him to everyone!
Best wishes,

" There are endless points throughout the day.... to name a few..... 1) Directing guests to drinks whilst I whip the couple away, that way everyone knows what they should be doing at what time. 2) Doubly checking with me to make sure i'm on time and liaising with the caterers! 3) Arranging the guests needed for the next group shot, so they were ready and waiting when I needed them next.... LOVED that!!! 4) Encouraging all the guests to whoop whoop and cheer out loud at all the right times, ensuring a fantastic atmosphere was achieved!! 5) Cutting of the cake, gathering everyone together and cheering them in. 6) little touches like the glass tapping for a kiss - cute!!! "
