The Professional Toastmaster

The Role of the Toastmaster

The Professional Toastmaster is a traditional part of the British banqueting scene and can trace the roots of his profession to antiquity with the Greeks and Romans offering toasts to their Gods.

The presence of a professional toastmaster adds flair and elegance to any occasion and his familiar red tailed coat adds a splash of colour and showmanship to the big day.

The toastmaster's expertise and wide ranging experience ensures that every event, however formal or informal, runs smoothly and fulfils the highest expectations of the host and hostess or event organiser.

A toastmaster has many strings to his bow and has to be an expert:

• Master of ceremonies
• Presenter
• Diplomat
• Substitute host
• Compere
• Co-ordinator
• Consultant in procedure, etiquette and protocol
