Toastmaster and Celebrant Paul Deacon

You can rely on me to look after you and your guests. I'm here to make your day flawless and ensure you're at ease every step of the way. I am familiar with handling fast-paced events and making sure that they run on time. I efficiently move large numbers of guests from a reception to a banqueting suite. Your audience is brought to order and I capably look after high-profile speakers or delegates and guests ranging from Lord Mayors to international CEOs and the man in the street who is nervous about making a speech. When Royalty is involved with your event, I can give valuable advice. From formal to frivolous you will see an appropriate performance that will delight and impress you and your guests.

People like me because I focus on looking after them. I have learnt the art of making a day special and tailored to a couple’s needs. I am experienced enough to find out and analyse what my clients want and vary my performance appropriately on the day. At a wedding I play a leading part of a team to ensure that everyone gives their best.

During more than 30 years working as a Toastmaster
at over 1,000 events, I’ve learnt that:

1. You generally know what you want. It’s up to me to find out what that is and deliver it in an appropriate way
2. I might wear a formal uniform but not everyone wants formality - maintaining traditions may be more important
3. I am not the star of the show but I am instrumental in making a wedding memorable
4. Some weddings need very little management, and others require a lot!

Every wedding is different. Yours is special to me.

No panic - no pressure - no problem
