No1 INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL TOASTMASTER
Bringing 40 Years of Experience to Your Special Day
Tel 07961144548 or email royaustin54@gmail.com
Greater Flexibility for Your Day
After 42 years as a Professional Toastmaster, I have had the privilege of officiating at the weddings and special occasions of countless wonderful clients, including brides and grooms, diplomats, sporting personalities, Members of Parliament, actors, and members of the Royal Family, to name just a few. During those 42 years, I have also been honoured to be a member of four professional guilds. Guilds offer valuable support, fellowship, and opportunities for their members. However, membership also requires adherence to their rules and regulations, with little room for flexibility. Over the years, many clients have told me they wanted a Toastmaster who could adapt more freely to the individual style and requirements of their event. For that reason, I have chosen to become an Independent Toastmaster. Being independent allows me the flexibility to tailor my services entirely around your special occasion. Rather than working within the constraints of a guild, I can focus solely on your wishes, ensuring your event is conducted exactly as you envision it, with professionalism, elegance, and attention to every detail Working closely with the venue and all of your suppliers to ensure their requirements are met is an essential part of creating a truly special event. My service also provides expert advice and thoughtful suggestions, helping you consider details and ideas you may not have even thought of, ensuring every aspect of your day comes together seamlessly.
Tradition When You Want It — Choice When You Need It
If you love the traditional red regalia, I’m delighted to offer it. But if you want something different, more modern, or more in keeping with your theme, I can provide that too. Choosing an Independent Toastmaster means choosing a service built around your day, not someone else’s rulebook.
Whatever the occasion, enlisting the services of a Professional Toastmaster can only serve to enhance the event and bring extra class to the Celebration; Wedding receptions of practically every culture Corporate Dinners and Dinner Dances Themed Banquets and Gala Balls Masonic Ladies Festivals and Receptions Rotary Club and Round Table Functions Birthday Parties, Bar mitzvah and Anniversaries Cocktail Parties, Civic Lunches and Banquets Award Ceremonies and Conferences Official Openings or Product Launches

WEDDING CONSULTANCY
It has become clear that many brides need a helping hand to guide them through the arrangements on their Wedding Day. The wedding industry is a minefield of suppliers and products. Each wedding is unique to each individual bride.
The services I give are not like a Wedding Planner but a Wedding Consultant. Giving you the opportunity to spend a few hours discussing with me what your hopes and dreams are for your big day. As for myself, I can give you ideas that I have seen and experienced over the last 26 years being a Professional Toastmaster.
So after the consultancy you will be clearer on what you want, what you need and how the day will run. I can also give you recommendations of other suppliers and services you may be interested in.
The Consultancy Service,is separate to my services of a Professional Toastmaster. Or why not combine both services together, to make certain of a complete day where you can relax with family and friends.
