Testimonials

We got married on the 3rd August 2019 and initially we were unsure we wanted toastmasters but we can’t express how pleased we were that we did and also how lucky we were to have Nikki and Jonathan. 

They looked after us incredibly well throughout the duration of the entire day, ensuring that we were enjoying our special day and not fretting about the logistics, as we were confident that they had it covered.  They made sure that we both always had food and drink; in particular a special plate of canapés, preventing us from missing out on the food we chose as we were greeting our guests.  Plus it was safe to say that our glasses were never empty all day - Rachel blames Nikki for her hangover!

Nothing was too much for them as they were both incredibly conscientious.  They ensured that the wedding party was suitably attired, from attaching the buttonholes to helping Rachel with her dress.  When several of our guests were covered in fluff from blankets that were used during the evening safari, they rushed off to find a lint roller.  It was those small touches that really meant a lot and showed how much they cared for everyone there.

Our guests have mentioned to us on so many occasions how helpful Nikki and Jonathan were in helping them check in for their on-site accommodation and sorting out their bags.

It was also mentioned to us that they must be magic as they directed our guests to Port Lympne from the church, our guests left before them and then Nikki and Jonathan were already at Port Lympne ready to greet them.  This meant that the close wedding party could remain at the church for our photos without worrying that our guests would be unattended at the reception venue – they were always in safe hands.

When it came to our special day, we had some very tight timings that we knew we would be worried about and thought that we would have to push everyone along, but Jonathan and Nikki took all of our stress away by ensuring they were in constant dialogue with us even before the wedding day.  This allowed us to concentrate on spending the time with our friends and family rather than worrying about how long we had until the next celebration.

They were nothing but professional, friendly and highly skilled and our incredible memories of the day couldn’t have been made without everything they did for us.  We couldn’t be more grateful and would highly recommend them to anyone getting married.

Dear Jonathon & Nikki,

Where do we begin and what can we say!!

These two are the most amazing couple who are an absolute must at any wedding.

From the first meeting we had with them both Paul and myself felt so comfortable with Jonathon and Nikki and immediately felt that they would take care of everything and that our day would run smoothly.  They both have the most wonderful calming nature that makes you feel you could trust them with anything.

You see our wedding had a little twist as well, the guest's thought they were coming to a Summer Party, not a wedding.  We wanted to keep it casual and relaxed with no worries about outfits and hats or speeches or bridesmaids wearing dresses they didn't want to be in.  So even as the guests arrived at our amazing venue of Port Lymphne Hotel and Reserve they weren't to know.  So I, the bride, appeared in a normal summer dress and the groom in trousers and shirt.  All the doors were shut to the ceremony and wedding breakfast room and Jonathon & Nikki were dressed as safari rangers so no-one knew they were actually toastmasters.  They had been a great help with suggestions of how we could do things to keep the secret going for as long as we could.  I carefully disappeared up to my room to get changed and then Paul disappeared to put his waistcoat and jacket on.  My poor Dad had ended up in A & E at 6am on the day of the wedding and of course thinking it was just a party was just saying "it's ok I'm alright and we will be there but a bit late so just start without us"!!  Which of course I didn't want to do as I wanted Dad to walk me down the isle - even though he didn't know he was doing it!  But Nikki & Jonathon (and the hotel staff) were amazing - arranging food and a cup of tea for him for when he got there (being in A & E and having a two hour drive to the venue had meant he had had no breakfast), it was the hottest day of the year

28 degrees) but they made sure the whole situation was calm, the ceremony delayed until he felt ok to come out of his room, they kept me calm and at no point did I feel any stress - just a bit worried about Dad but everyone assured me he was ok.  They even looked after Dad again a bit later as he had a bit of a funny turn with the heat and probably all that had happened that day by taking him to his room for a lay down.

We had so many comments from our guests about how amazing they were, how friendly, fun, organised and on the ball with everything.  They made sure Paul and I had water to drink through the heat of the day, as well as bubbles too of course!  And we really felt that we could just leave them to ensure all the little details were taken care of.

We really can't recommend these two lovely people enough, you honestly wouldn't be disappointed if you have them as part of your Wedding Day, they will ensure that everyone is happy and everything is running smoothly, and if anything doesn't go quite to plan you would barely know as they will take care of it. They are so easy to get on with and really make you fell that your day is how you want it to be with just some helpful tips along the way.

We wish them both the very best and look forward to talking to Nikki about our next holiday (she is a Travel Consultant as well!)

Kindest regards and many Thanks

Pam & Paul Wrightson

Nikki & Jonathan did a wonderful job for us and we are very grateful for their expertise.

They had an amazing day – I think the highlight was seeing them return from their giraffe encounter, where they hand fed the giraffes.

A truly memorable wedding day

Hi!

I want to say how incredibly grateful we were to have Nikki and Jonathan as our toastmasters on our special day. We had 125 guests in the day and can honestly say, it would have been an unorganised mess if it wasn’t for them! Even my Nan says ‘those in the red jackets made so much effort with me and helped me loads’. Now just hearing that from my Nan makes me realise straight away we made the right decision in asking them to be our toastmasters.

Not to mention Nicks ushers wouldn’t have a clue what to do or where to start! I was so worried about how stressed out I thought the day was going to be for me, but having Nikki and Johnathan there to calmly guide us through the day really did put me as ease, in fact the only part I was stressed at was right at the beginning getting ready - and they weren’t hired for this part!

My highlight was walking down the aisle and seeing them both standing there with our favourite drink in their hands at the end - now if that isn’t 5 star service, I don’t know what is!

They didn’t just make the day a lot more organised, they made the day all about Nick and I. The one thing it should always be.

Thank you so much to you both and we certainly will never forget the effort you put in for us and our friends and family.

Much love,

Amy and Nick x

Sorry it's taken so long.. wishing you both a fantastic 2019.

Originally we had not thought we would need toastmasters for our wedding as we didn't want a very formal affair, however Jonathan and Nikki were an absolute Godsend!

Nikki was the first person to come and see me on the morning of our wedding to make sure I had everything I needed and to ensure I knew what was going to happen before and during the ceremony.  She had also gone to see the groom and ensured him and the wedding party were all ready - the suit co had forgot to include the handkerchiefs for the suit pockets, so Nikki worked her magic with napkins!  From start to finish Nikki and Jonathan ensured we were all where we needed to be, that the wedding was running on time, that guests were looked after and that myself and the groom were ok.  Their style is relaxed, friendly and very professional and I have to say they ensured our day went smoothly and to plan!  I don't think the day would have gone so well without them! They are fantastic!

A huge thank you to both of them ....

Claire, Bride 17th November 2018

Dear Jonathan and Nikki,

Thank you for your email, we hope you are both well. I am sorry it has taken us so long to reply, we have been busy preparing for our new arrival, as baby Dixon is due in October!

Please see below our testimony regarding our wedding day on Saturday 6th of October 2018. I hope this is okay but please contact us if you require any adjustments or additional details.

"We had the pleasure of having Jonathan and Nikki as our toastmasters on our special wedding day at Port Lympne Mansion on Saturday 6th October 2018. Both Jonathan and Nikki were extremely professional but also approachable throughout the day and it made a huge and positive difference having them there. They went above and beyond to provide us with excellent service and we truly appreciate everything they did for us on the day. They helped relax us as they kept guests informed of the day’s events and many guests from the day contacted us after the wedding with numerous compliments directed towards the pair! From helping to organise our guests for the group photos to standing out in the wind and rain to direct our guests onto the safari trucks, it was clear that nothing was too much for the pair. Thank you, Jonathan and Nikki, for being such a memorable and pleasant part of our day" – Mr and Mrs Dixon.

Thank you again,

Kind regards

Jon and Nikki were our toastmasters on 14th Sept, Port Lympne, before the wedding, Jon and I spoke on the phone for a hour to go through the plans of the day, he was very detailed, and made sure he got everything written down, which helped ease my nerves, knowing I was in safe hands.  They were absolute stars on the day, helping get us ready, making sure everyone knew their roles, keeping an eye on the time, and moving around 135 day people to where they needed to be.  Nikki even supported the photographer in helping get the lighting right for some of the romantic photos.

We were so appreciative of everything they did, and they were a joy to be around with so much energy and enthusiasm, the guests loved it when they came out in safari ranger gear before we went on the trucks.  Would highly recommend them.  Thanks

Dear all,

This is just a quick email as we will be in touch with each of you individually.  But we couldn't wait, now we are back from our Honeymoon, to send a very huge and heartfelt Thank You  to each and everyone of you for making our special day so very special.  It was amazing beyond our wildest dreams and all of our family and friends are still on a high, as are we, from the day and there have been so many wonderful comments on just how amazing it was.  And of course, apart from the weather which was out of all of our control but how lucky were we, everything else was down to all of you.

So we really do thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

 We will be in touch throughout the week,

All the Best and kindest regards

Pam & Paul Wrightson

Such a perfect day for Hannah & Martin at Port Lympne

We didn’t even think of having toastmasters to start with, but from the moment we met John & Nikki we knew we had to have them!

They put us totally at ease and we didn’t have to worry about anything at all!

Everything ran perfectly on our wedding day and we know this is thanks to them both!

We can’t thank them enough

Toastmaster of the Year

Your Toastmasters & Kentish Sabreurs

"A really modern twist but with a strong nod to the traditional" is how judges described Your Toastmasters. Judges loved how much work was put into supporting couples for a completely smooth-running day – from the vast collection of handy extras that they bring, through to their seamless interaction with guests, venue and couple. They were complimented also, for their ability to dress " In theme".

We were delighted to have been toastmasters for Maria and Keith at Preston Court. Such a wonderful wedding for a lovely couple.

From the moment I met Nikki & Jonathan they made me feel completely at ease & were great listeners. They wanted to know every tiny detail of mine & Keith's wedding day & no request was too big, which gave me great confidence! As the day approached they both contacted all the suppliers & checked in with us both to reassure that the day would be exactly how we envisaged.
On the day they were just as amazing! Nikki recovered my flowers which got sent to the wrong room, they helped the florists broken down van, gathered family for photos & just kept everything running on time. My family all commented on how great they were & both fitted with all the guests. Our day was incredible & I would highly recommend Nikki & Jonathan to any budding brides & dubious grooms they really are worth every penny and also such lovely people too!

Wow wow wow ... such an amazing wedding day for animal lovers Ann and Simon

We had such a great day being their toastmasters at Port Lympne Mansion & wildlife park.  It was also the first time we have been asked to be in the whole guest photograph!

We never really thought about having a toast master for our wedding. We just presumed it would all just work out on the day, but it was probably the best decision we made hiring Nikki and Jonathan.

 

We met them at Port Lympne's Wedding fayre in 2015 and were so impressed with their professional approach and they were genuinely interested in hearing all about our plans for our day without being pushy.

 

We were that impressed, that the next time we visited Port Lympne, they were also there again for another wedding fayre. We walked over and they had remembered all about our plans and we had a lovely chat again. That night, we decided we had to have them at our Special day.

 

They literally made the day stress-free, were amazing with all our guests and became "Safari guides" on the trucks when we went on our trip after the wedding breakfast around Port Lympne. They even dressed up too!

 

We whole-heartedly can recommend them to add fun and joy to any occasion as well as making it run smoothly. Thank you both so much!

Such a fun loving couple that we had the pleasure of working for at the beautiful Port Lympne Mansion House

Thank you so much for making our day extra special xxx

 

Nicki and John were absolutely fantastic toastmasters who really made our day extra special. They made sure every last detail was perfect and nothing was too much to ask. All of our guests commented on how great they were throughout the day especially elderly family members as they both went above and beyond to ensure that they were comfortable and had everything they needed. Nicki was there all day with me (bride) making sure that everything ran smoothly as was John with the groom. They were both great fun to be around due to their kind personalities and really made us both feel at ease.

 

Thank you John and Nicki for playing such a big role on our special day.

Such a magical day for Hannah and Neil at Port Lympne Mansion

From caricaturists, magicians, wax hands and of course a safari the wedding guests were certainly entertained.  Such an honour to have been part of this fabulous wedding.

From the first contact with Jonathan and Nikki they were amazing. We didn't know what to expect from a Toastmaster, but they performed all their duties to a superb standard. They ensured our wedding ran smoothly, from the small things like ensuring our little boy had a bottle of milk and having cotton & thread to carry out some dress running repairs on the day, through to organising everyone and making sure we didn't need to worry about anything at all.

 

At our pre-wedding planning meeting they took note of all of our different timings, requirements and details of all our variety of different entertainers on the day to ensure everything was just perfect. And we are pleased to say it was.

 

On the day we couldn't have asked for anything more, upon arrival Nikki ensured that the groom's cravat was nice and neat, along with our best man and ushers to ensure we were all looking just right. Then following that they were on hand to guide us through our day, and also allow the Best Man to enjoy his day! We couldn't have asked for anything more.

 

All of our guests were extremely complimentary, and we couldn't recommend you more highly to friends, family and even strangers who might be getting married.

Port Lympne was the perfect setting for the wedding of Heather and James Harris

The couple had supplied all guests with wonderful masks as a clue to the surprise safari around the reserve.

When I first found out people had toastmasters at their wedding I didn't even know what we would need them for but... WOW what grand organisation, you were truly more than we could have ever asked for/ They were there to dress the groom, arrange the flowers for the guests, spot of babysitting, put us and guests at ease and help an elderly Auntie.
You really did go above and beyond to ensure that we enjoyed every second which we really did, it was the most amazing day and I could not have asked for anything more!
Thank you for being part of our day.
'Your toastmasters' - relaxed, fun, organised and outright amazing at what they do. If anyone is wanting the finishing touch, Nikki and Johnathan really are what you are missing.

We were delighted to have been toastmasters for Wendy & Simon Smith at Port Lympne Mansion House

The newlyweds performed a perfect sabrage before their wedding breakfast on the terrace at Port Lympne Hotel.

Nikki and Jonathan thank you for all your help on our wedding day and the advice you gave us before the big day. It was everything we wished for and more, your presence gave us both a feeling of reassurance and confidence from making sure the groom and groomsmen had correctly tied cravats, securely pinned button holes, assisting the bride and bridesmaids to greeting guests and just being there for anything that was required nothing was too much trouble.

 

It was an amazing day with the weather on our side Port Lympne is a beautiful location especially when the sun is shining. We are sure the day would not have run so smoothly without you both. Your support with the formal photos was a great help to our photographer Emma. The Sabrage added an extra special touch to the day, thanks to your expert guidance our guests were all amazed. Your change of outfits for the safari was also great adding a touch of fun to the event.

 

Anyone planning their wedding should defiantly consider hiring a toastmaster and if you choose Nikki and Jonathan you will not be disappointed it was one of the best decisions we made, they are professional yet very approachable.

 

Thank you so much for making our special day extra special,

Wendy and Simon xx

Quex Park was the ideal setting for the wedding of Tracey and Simon

Their son and bestman had the room in fits of laughter during his speech whilst their daughter read a beautiful poem just before the newlyweds released butterflies.  A perfect day despite a little rain!

Dear Nicki and Jonathan
Thank you, so much for making our day so special.

Nicki and Jonathan, were an amazing support from when we had our first meeting right the way through to and throughout our wedding day.  They liaised with the venue and offered very valuable advice for the plan for the day and speeches.  They listened to what we wanted and advised when we were unsure.
There were times throughout the day when Nicki and Jonathan went above and beyond, especially Nicki going under my dress to put my shoes on for me! Nothing was too much trouble.
On our day we had a lot of rain but Jonathan and Nicki were there with us in the rain while we had our photographs, carrying my dress to keep it from getting ruined and provided an umbrella too.
They supported the photographer with the group photo's, making sure everyone was where they needed to be.
Nicki and Jonathan are true professionals, who clearly love their job, We can't thank them enough for everything they did for us. Nicki and Jonathan made our day truly amazing. 
Thank you 'Your Toastmasters'

Toastmasters for the wedding of Helen to Henry at The Old Mill Kingham

A few years ago we had been appointed by Debbie and Dave to be toastmasters for their eldest daughter's wedding at Lympne Castle. Naturally we were delighted they asked us to be toastmasters for their youngest daughter Helen to Henry at the Old Mill Kingham.  

Hello Nikki & Jon,

Wow, what a wonderful day! Thank you so much for helping run the show so smoothly and ensuring all went as well as it did.

No more daughters left to get married but we will certainly recommend you to friends and family.

Many thanks once again for helping make it such a splendid day.

Very best wishes

Debbie & Dave

WOW what a marvellous wedding for Mr & Mrs Shaw. Three venues in one day and each one perfect. Our Lady Star of the Sea Church, Broadstairs followed by wedding breakfast at the Kings Arms, Sandwich before dancing the night away at St Mary's Art & C

Jonathan and Nicki were an incredible support on our wedding day. I literally can not imagine our day without them. I really had never thought about having a toast master at our wedding and didn't understand what their actual role would be. We saw them at a wedding fayre doing the sabrage and thought that this would be a fun lovely idea. Once we got chatting to them both, and saw how enthusiastic and lovely they were we booked them there and then. Having them both there was just perfect, no other toastmasters could have possibly have come close to what they did for us. They were with us in every possible way without being intrusive, they were discreet but were aware of everything going on. Our wedding was unique in that it was spread over three venues in two different towns 30 minutes apart they navigated it brilliantly, co ordinating our guests and ensuring everyone arrived on time and somehow magically arriving before everyone at all the venues. Despite only meeting them on a few occasions prior to the wedding day they felt like they were part of the wedding party, it wasn't like having two strangers with us, they were relaxed, supportive, and friendly. It wasn't just us that thought so either all of our guests commented on what a nice touch it was having them there. They went to both houses in the morning to make sure all the button holes were on correctly, they co ordinated the photos, ensured that the elderly guests were guided and sat down safely, they directed all of the bridesmaids and flower girls down they isle, they found lost flowers and so much more! The support they offered not just us but all of the wedding party was incredible I could not recommend them enough, the decision to hire them both at the wedding was an easy one but literally on of the best ones we made.
Terri and Nick Shaw

Love was definitely in the air for the wedding of Mr & Mrs Smith and Knowle Country House was the most romantic of settings for a very emotional wedding.

Testimonial from Knowle Country House.

On behalf of the knowle country house staff would just like to say how lovely it was to have worked with you. You both were very organised, approachable and cooperative to ensure a smooth wedding day for the lovely Sophie and Billy. The enthusiastic nature of you both coincided with your professionalism which instilled confidence within myself and other staff members for a successful day. Looking forward to having you both at our wedding venue again.
Hannah

Testimonial from the Mother of the Bride

Hi
Just wanted to drop you a line and thank you both so very much for all that you did yesterday. The day ran so smoothly, definitely taking the strain away. Thank you so much Nikki for reading my speech, you did it beautifully and so much better than I would have done it. Thank you for the copy of the speech which will go in Sophie's memory box. Thank you Jonathan for looking after my elderly aunt and uncle, Sophie and I are really all they have in the world and we were unable to give them the usual attention. I know they really appreciated it! Kind regards
Jill. Xx

Testimonial for wedding coordinator at Port Lympne

Thanks again for being so utterly amazing, both of you. So many of the staff mentioned yesterday how great it was having you there and want you to be there for every wedding! Really does change my day and take so much stress of me which is so so appreciated. Can't wait to see you both again very soon.

Mr & Mrs Steebles had a very special day with their marriage at Port Lympne followed by a blessing . An amazing Moldovian wedding.

 

On the hottest day of the summer Mr & Mrs Martin had a wonderful Royal Garden Party style wedding in the garden of their family home. It was a perfect day for everyone.

Because our wedding was at home it was such a help to have the services of Niki and Jonathan . They took care of all the finer details ensuring the day was run smoothly. The guests were happy and we all had a wonderful day. The sabrage added an extra special touch to the toasts and the groom enjoyed having everyone's eyes on him. I would like to thank Niki and Jonathan for their friendly and professional service and can recommend them to anyone who may be thinking of having toastmasters at their wedding.
Heather and Phillip Martin .

Mr & Mrs Taylor had a fantastic wedding event at Lympne Castle . Filled with Hungarian cake and Folk dancers. The couple brought their Hungarian traditions and culture to the Kent Countryside.

Hi Nikki & Jonathan, Never had the chance to say thank you so much for everything! You were amazing throughout.
All the best Emese & David

Aspers Oscars - amazing how the grounds of Port Lympne Mansion House were transformed for a one night only corporate event.

Hi Nikki & Jonathan,
Thank you both soooooo much for yesterday, I genuinely don’t think I could have done it without you both. You are just incredible at what you do and put everyone at ease and add so much fun to the event. You really didn’t need to help clear up but I am so grateful that you did and people said to me that you just feel like part of the team. I even said to Richard, my general manager Richard, can you see why I wanted these guys in our packages now and he said definitely :)
Sarah

Mr & Mrs Sharpe had an amazing burlesque and 1920's themed 10th anniversary party at Morgans Margate. An event packed with talented performers even Nikki couldn't resist joining in!

We had the pleasure of using Your Toastmasters for our anniversary at Morgans Bar in Margate. Nikki and John were asked to provide a complete package for a 1920s night themed event. They organised the evening with professional competence , from high standard catering exactly as requested, to themed music for all tastes. Everyone enjoyed the evening that was impeccably organised by Nikki and John and would recommend them to organise any event .we applaud them for a fantastic evening.
Peter and Natalie Sharpe

Mr & Mrs Hoose were married at St Augustines, Westgate, Thanet. These guys knew how to party and what a great day it was - a beautiful family wedding.

We were delighted to be the Master of Ceremony once again for the Kent FA annual dinner and awards ceremony at the Great Danes Hotel, Hollingbourne, Maidstone.

Nikki and Jonathan ~~ Just a quick note to thank you for your participation at our D & D. You are without a doubt valued members of our "team". Could I please ask you to pencil in the date for next year as the 3rd June 2017, so that I can go away Monday afternoon on holiday in the knowledge that you are available
Peter.

Wow 2 fantastic locations and a route master bus for the wedding of Mr & Mrs Ansley. The day started at a lovely church hidden away in Dover and ended at Reach Court after a lovely drive in a route master bus.

The Botany Bay Hotel, Broadstairs was the perfect setting for the wedding of Mr & Mrs Smithers. Such a beautiful spring wedding overlooking the sea at Botany Bay.

A great day and even better night when the bride fronted the band at The Marine Hotel in Tankerton . A fantastic wedding day for Mr & Mrs Munro.

We used Nikki and Jonathan Curran as toastmasters for our wedding at the Marine Hotel, Tankerton in Nov 2015 and they were worth their weight in gold! They were a great team with a professional yet personable approach . Their attention to detail was excellent and they took all the stresses and strains away from the day. Both Nikki and Jonathan looked very smart and bought a 'touch of class' to the occasion I would highly recommend them for any occasion
Mrs Emma Munro

All Saints Church and East Quay Whitstable was the perfect setting for Katie and Ray Nichols. We love a wedding that starts in the local pub it always creates a great atmosphere.

Outstanding from the moment you arrived. Attaching 130 buttonholes, ensuring everyone was in the right place at the right time. On behalf of myself and the bride and groom thank you so much for ensuring everything ran smoothly. (and for rescuing the day in lending me cuff-links!). Will certainly recommend you.
Kindest regards, Graeme The Usher.

We thoroughly enjoyed being toastmasters for Amy & Steve on the 22nd August 2014 at Whitstable Castle & the Marine Hotel

We cannot thank you enough for your help making our wedding day run smoothly.  We couldn't have done it without you and had the most perfect day.  Not only did you help on the day but with the whole build up and preparation months before.  A lovely professional and likeable couple that everybody warmed too.  Would highly recommend to anyone. xx

Master of Ceremonies Award – Your Toastmasters

Modern yet traditional, with lots of thought put into every wedding. Judges loved their hands on or hands off approach depending upon couples preferences. Hard working and professional with excellent testimonials

Hi Nikki ,
Just a quick email to thank yourself and Jonathan for all your hard work on our wedding last week. I remember when we first started to plan our wedding there was some debate between myself and Chris as to whether we needed a toastmaster and I am so glad that we decided that yes we did.
Not only did you do a fantastic job on the day but you also really helped to reassure me beforehand when I had moments of worries. We will be sure to recommend you as without you both the day would never have run so smoothly.
Thanks again ,
Laura and Chris

Having been toastmasters at the groom's parents renewal or wedding vows we were honoured to have been asked to be toastmasters for Michael & Eleanor Wellard at Leeds Castle

Having Nikki and Jonathan as our toastmasters was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Everything was really organised and ran smoothly enabling us to relax and enjoy our day. They were extremely helpful and friendly, ensuring our guests were well looked after and we can't thank Nikki enough for helping the bridesmaids, groomsmen and us get ready. From lacing my dress, which was perfectly done to cravat tying for all the men so they all looked smart, we were all ready with no hassle and all went to time. Jonathan also did a fantastic job at making the announcements for photos to help everyone be in the right place so no time was wasted. Also for introducing everyone at the breakfast, announcements for speeches and cutting the cake. We would definitely recommend Nikki & Jonathan to anyone wishing to get married. They are a lovely couple, fun but also very professional and they played a big part in making our wedding day so special.

We were delighted to have been asked to be wedding toastmasters for Steve and Lou at Rolvenden Great Barn

Good Afternoon Nikki & Jonathon,
So we are back from our honeymoon and had an amazing time! We can’t believe everything is now over! Boo!
on behalf of my family & Steve, I would like to thank you both so much for all the hard work you put into our Wedding day. We had the most amazing day and we couldn’t have asked for anything to have been different! You were both amazing, friendly, professional and helped the flow of the day despite the rain and odd changes of plan because of it!
Thank you so, so much for being a-part of our special day, we couldn’t have asked for better toastmasters!
Best wishes, and hugs!
Lou, Steve, David, Sue & Han xx

Lou and Steve's caterers Flying Hog Roast provided an excellent array of food . Their bourbon pulled pork was especially good!

Jonathan and Nikki have provided meet and greet services for A Kentish Wedding exhibitions over the past 2 years and are an integral part of the shows success. Knowledgeable, friendly and helpful, the toastmasters ensure the smooth running of the event by assisting patrons throughout the event whether that be with directions for the show or answering queries about the event. I would highly recommend Your Toastmasters for any wedding event.

When holding a 007 night we wanted to ensure a warm welcome for our guests and booked Jonathan and Nikki from Your Toastmasters. They did a magnificent job, particularly on a cold evening, in keeping the spirits of the guests high as they posed for photos and acted as a point of contact for guests throughout the evening. Jonathan and Nikki's customer interactions help take the stress out of events allowing organisers to concentrate on any behind the scene issues. Thanks guys.

We always love receiving feedback and photographs from our couples. This is a lovely reminder from Chris & Laura's wedding

Hi Nicki and Jonathan

Thanks again for all your help on our wedding day . Having you there really helped us to relax and enjoy every minute of our special day . I've attached a photo of you both joining in on the marryoke.

Many thanks ,
Laura and Chris

It was a pleasure to be toastmasters for Ali and Pat. A beautiful church, a quaint barn and a stunning horse drawn carriage. This wedding was filled with lots of love and laughter.

Thank you so much for everything you did for us on our wedding day! You both took all the stress out of the day and made sure everything happened when it was meant to! Was the best decision we made having you both there on our wedding day! Professional and friendly! Everyone commented on how lovely and helpful you both were! Strongly recommended anyone getting getting married to come and see you guys! Thank you again!! Xx

Pat Sykes added on fb: - Agreed thanks guys you were brilliant helped make our day just perfect.

The sun shone for this beautiful couple. Stacey & Stuart had an awesome wedding day at their local church before walking to their family barn for their reception. This was a very special day for all involved.

Hi :) We wanted to say a massive Thank You. You both were amazing, and we honestly do not think our day would have been half as organised if we didn't have you. You both were fantastic, and honestly worth your weight in gold! Having a DIY wedding in a barn, was always going to be a bit crazy with timings, etc but you both made us feel so at ease, especially with making sure our guests were out of the pub in time! lol We are especially grateful that when things don't go to plan, you stepped in and did what was needed. You both truly are amazing! Thank you so so much. Lots love Mr & Mrs Austin ; ) xxx

Your Toastmasters were Masters of Ceremonies at the Kent County League Awards ceremony in June 2015 at the Great Danes Mercure Maidstone. Jonathan was delighted to host the Q&A session with football legend Ray Clemence

Dear Nikki and Jonathan,

Just a short note to thank you both most sincerely for all your hard work last evening.

Your presence not only aided us in making it a very successful event it enhanced the occasion.

Thank you both for a job very well done.

Kindest regards

Cyril

We were honoured to be Master of Ceremonies for Kent's First Health & Beauty Awards at the Great Danes, Mercure, Maidstone.

Your Toastmasters added a touch of finesse to our awards ceremony.

Their attention to detail about the order of the evening meant we were free to entertain our guests without having to worry about timings

It was an honour to be toastmasters for Debbie & Roger at the Bell Inn, Sandwich. A very intimate wedding with close family and friends.

To Nikki & Jon (the toastmaster)

Thank you so much for making our wedding day run so smoothly.

From the moment you both arrived to the minute you left everything run like clockwork.

It was such a relief not only to us but to our close family members that you managed the guest and the timetable perfectly.

We can not thank you enough for what you did. You made our day perfect.

Debbie & Roger Truelove

You went above and beyond for us both and all our guest

We could not of had the perfect day without you and we could never thank you enough xx we love you both and when we have our blessing will be definitely be booking you again

We always love working at Quex and this was no exception. A fabulous afternoon and evening in the gardens of Quex as master of ceremonies for the Quex proms!

For The Summer Prom in Quex Gardens in July 2015 we were delighted to have Nicky and Jonathan Curran act as our ‘Toastmasters’.

With their customary flair, enthusiasm, humour and sheer professionalism they helped to make sure that the return of this important event to Quex Park was a huge success.

They are always a joy to work with and we would not hesitate to recommend them to you for your event.

The sun shone for Kelly & James at Birchington Church & the Botany Bay Hotel. A very memorable and enjoyable wedding.

Nikki and Jonathan, we are so elated we chose you to be our toastmasters, you made us and all our guest feel at ease, not only throughout our wedding day but also from the many weeks leading up to the day. We had so many compliments about you both from friends and family, the day ran so smoothly we couldn't have done it without you. You guys are simply amazing! We have and will continue to recommend you to brides and grooms to be.

I just want to thank you for all your help at Kelly's wedding yesterday. We really appreciated it and Derek has not stopped talking about you and your kindness.
Thank you.

The sun shone in London for the dream wedding of Chelsea & Ashton. The couple had planned so many surprises for their family and friends. We were pleased their day exceeded expectations.

A massive special thank you to Nikki and Jonathan! You made our day run so smoothly and took all the stress away from us and let us enjoy our day. Really don't know what we would have done without you. Both worked so hard to make sure everybody was happy.... Thank you so much we loved having you Chelsea & Ashton xxx

It was also lovely for Nicola the mother of the bride to contact us on a facebook photo

Nicola Nettleton This was our daughter and son-in-laws wedding day. They've both worked hard to make every aspect of their day special for themselves and their guests. You were both fantastic and have been mentioned by everyone. You provided structure to the day, taking away any need to worry about the flow of the occasion while becoming part of the background as people enjoyed themselves. You were both thoroughly professional as well as being totally at ease with the guests. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants their day to run smoothly

Chilston Park was the stunning setting for Nicky & Hayley's wedding. This couple certainly had an eye to detail. An amazing wedding for such a lovely couple.

Nikki & Johnathon,

You guys were AMAZING and the day wouldn't have been so brilliant without you! Thank you so much again for making everything run perfectly and helping me and my lovely wife enjoy what was a wonderful occasion. We'll catch up with you after our honeymoon!

Love

Mr & Mrs Jones.

True to his word Nicky sent this message

A HUGE thanks to Nikki and Jonathan who were the brilliant Toastmasters at our Wedding on Sunday 30th August. We couldn't have enjoyed our day as much as we did without your help and support throughout. We'll definitely be recommending! Mr & Mrs Jones.

It was an honour to have been chosen to be toastmasters for the wedding of Ian and Angela. As fellow wedding suppliers they have seen a lot professionals ... we are equally pleased we passed muster! An incredible wedding day for this special couple

Well what can I say about you two. You were both amazing at our wedding from beginning to end. Your organisation of everything is brilliant and you are an amazing couple who have also become very good friends. Thank you so much for ensuring our wedding ran smoothly. Love Mr and Mrs Gladwell

Quex was the stunning venue for Jon & Clare. They had a beautiful blessing for the evening guests - such a lovely wedding day.

Jonathan and Nicki thank you for making Jon and Clare's wedding so perfect ! Your total professionalism and support of the happy couple was awesome and ensured they had nothing to worry about!
Thank you - you made the day perfect ... you are quite amazing

The happy couple, all the friends and family are extremely grateful to you both!

With a love of wine and art how could we not enjoy this art and wine tour with an art auction in aid of the Mayor of Margate's charity fund

We hired Nikki and John Curran on a personal recommendation to host our Art Auction to raise money for the Margate Mayor’s Fund.  They did a terrific job, were extremely organised and efficient, professional at all times, delivered with a sense of humour and importantly assisted us in raising funds for our charities. Nikki helped in getting most of the pieces sold including a painting by the Mayor to raise funds and received much positive feedback from our guests. I would highly recommend Nikki and John as smart, very professional operators.

We were delighted to assist Ben & Chris in organising this special birthday

 

We employed Nikki and Jon to organise a surprise 60th birthday party for my mother-in-law. From planning to delivery they were both professional and enthusiastic. We met before the party and discussed our needs. Jon and Nikki then used their vast knowledge and experience to put together a party package tailored to us. They also purchased all the food and drink on top of preparing the venue prior to the event. On the day they took all of the stress out of 'hosting' away from us . Leaving my wife and I to enjoy the day with my Mother-in-law, friends and family. No detail was overlooked, even letting the birthday girl sabrage the birthday cake. Due to Jon and Nikki's efforts the day was a truly memorable event. The only downside to all of this is that an party organised by us in future will struggle to reach the incredibly high bar set by Jon and Nikki. My wife and I can not recommend Jon and Nikki enough.

 

The sun shone on the 7th August 2014 at East Quay for the wedding of Jess & James ... we were delighted they chose us to be their wedding toastmasters

 Jess left us feedback on a wedding site on facebook and to our own page.

Just wanted to say from me and my husband a great big thank you to Nikki and Jon, you are both brilliant at what you do and you fit in so well. You made everyone feel so very relaxed around you and there was no stress, no panicking about timings. Everything ran so smoothly and the day really was perfect! Found this photo from my photographers and thought it really summed up how you put a personal touch in with every couple. Love From Jess & James Adams xx

Hilary Steel opened the Kent Women in Business awards 2014 by sabraging a bottle of champagne

Dear Nikki & Jonathan,

Now that the dust has settled may I thank you once again for all your guidance and assistance on Saturday.

As always, we learnt a few pointers for next season and I am sure Peter will be in touch again soon.

Kind regards

‘Vintage Vibe’ music event in Quex Gardens in July 2014

Having had the opportunity to work with Jonathan and Nikki at a charity fashion show in 2013 we had no hesitation in asking them to compere our ‘Vintage Vibe’ music event in Quex Gardens in July 2014.

With their welcoming charm, & humour (not to mention dashing dress sense which included the necessity to sport an umbrella!) they helped entertain our visitors and introduced the visiting bands with great enthusiasm.

On the 1st March 2014 we were delighted to have been wedding toastmasters for Clare & Mark at their wedding ceremony and reception at Lympne Castle, Kent

Nikki & Jonathan

Just to say that Debbie and I (Clare & Mark as well) wanted to say thank you for Saturday. Both of you were absolutely outstanding from the beginning to end. Your friendly smiles, fabulous organisation, advice and making sure we were all in right place at the right time made it a truly memorable and worry free day for us all.

We would both be happy to recommend you to anyone considering using a toastmaster (or two in your case!).

The cutting of the champagne bottle cork was the icing on the cake.

Many thanks again

Regards

Debbie & Dave 

Yourtoastmasters had the pleasure of supporting David Fenwick during the wedding of Simon and Jackie on 31st August 2013

Nikki and Jonathan are the most conscientious, effective and charming toastmasters I've ever encountered (and having photographed 350 weddings at the time of writing this I've seen many in action over the years). But the service they offer transcends the traditional toastmaster role. They're also essentially 'project managers' and ensure that every aspect of the day runs smoothly. I can recommend them without reservation as a huge asset to your wedding day.

David Fenwick, September 2013

Your Toastmasters had the pleasure of supporting Shirley and Jackie the organisers of the Hearts and minds Ball at lympne Castle on the 21st September 2013

Verbal & written feedback from Shirley Boards organiser of the Hearts and Mind Ball at Lympne Castle 21st September 2013

"We knew you were going to be good but you surpassed our thoughts can't thank you enough"

Dear Nikki and Jonathan This is a very swift email before I leave to work in Southampton - an initial thousand, no, a million (!), thank yous for all you did for The Hearts and Minds Ball on Saturday. You were superb.

I will be writing further later in the week, but I just wanted you to know that we, and all the guests, think you're fabulous and did an amazing job.

Love Shirley (and Jackie)

Terry Kinsman representative for the British Heart Foundation speaker at the Hearts and Minds Ball at Lympne Castle Verbalised his testimonial

"I've been to many events with toastmasters but I can honestly say your the best I've seen"

By overseeing the running order, meeting and greeting guests, selling raffle tickets, introducing key speakers and running the auction - an amazing £7000 was raised for 2 very worth while charities.

Your Toastmasters were on their travels again for the wedding of Kirsty and James for their wedding ceremony at St Michael's Church, Stoke Prior and wedding breakfast & reception at Henley in Arden Golf and Country Club - 24th August 2013.

Nikki & Jon,

Thank you does not seem enough for all the amazing work you did to make Kirsty's wedding day amazing, happy and really lovely experienc. Whilst we knew you would pull it off it was fab to see you in action.

Love Jayne & Mike xxx

A beautiful wedding joining 2 very special families.

On 27th July 2013 we were honoured to have been asked by Estelle & Tim Short to be celebrants for their renewal of vows. After 15 years of marriage they renewed their vows at a very special gathering with the theme of pirates and princesses.

Thank you!! 

What a way to celebrate, renewing vows and sabrage!! It was truly amazing, if anyone is thinking of doing it...... 

Then do! I realised I still love My husband now as much as I did 15yrs ago!! 

 

Thanks guys xx  Estelle Short

It was a very romantic occasion with the couple exchanging vows then having written private messages that were tied to heart balloons and let go free as well as drinking champagne, that they had  just sabraged, from a loving cup.

We had the priviledge of working along side Jean at the wedding of Derek and Noirin at Whitstable Castle on 22nd June 2013. Jean has an eye for detail and has lovely manner which puts all the guests at ease ensuring the best photographs.

Dear Nikki and Jonathan

I am enclosing some photographs for you taken at Noirin and Derek’s wedding on 22nd June 2013. I hope these will be a reminder for you of a beautiful day which we were fortunate to share. May I take this opportunity to say how impressed I was at the excellent service you provided in your role as Toastmasters and you ensured the proceedings went smoothly and enabled the couple to relax and enjoy their day. On a personal level, your professional approach and assistance to me as the photographer was very much appreciated and you were so willing to help with gathering guests promptly for the photographs. Your organisational skills made my job so much easier and I’d like to think that our combined efforts and expertise resulted in some lovely memories for the Bride and Groom!

Thank you once again and I hope we have the opportunity to work together again sometime and I would have no hesitation in recommending you for your services.

Kind regards

Fran and Catherine organised a fantastic ladies night with fashion show and auction in the Museum of Quex Park. All proceeds were in aid of Breakthrough for breast cancer - Your Toastmasters are keen to support community and charity events.

Dear Nikki and Jonathan,

We are writing to thank you both for the wonderful job you did for us on Friday evening both with meeting and greeting guests and acting as our auctioneers for the Charity Fashion Show. What an amazing evening it was and we have had some great feedback.

We are delighted to tell you that £1966.65 was raised on the evening. A lot of which, of course, came as a result of the auction – I am sure we would not have been able to raise as much without your encouragement Nikki – a huge WELL DONE!

A press release has been sent out with photos and the Isle of Thanet Gazette has already picked up on it so that is a great for everyone involved.

Once again thank you both for giving of your time and experience and hopefully we will be able to work together again in the future.

Best Wishes,

Fran and Catherine

Your Toastmasters were delighted to be toastmasters for Jackie and Chris for their wedding ceremony at St Mary's Church, Minster and Jamaican style wedding breakfast and reception at The Grove Ferry Pantry & Inn, Upstreet 25th May 2013.

Hi Nikki and Jonathan,

Just wanted to drop you a line to say a massive thank you to you both for helping to make our wedding so special - you were absolutely brilliant!!!!

We had a fantastic honeymoon in Sri Lanka and really didn't want to come home! Attached is a link to a small selection of wedding photos that our photographer put together. He took nearly 900 photos in all and we don't know how we are going to select just a few for our wedding album. My son James and Lauren will be marrying sometime in the next year hopefully, so may be we will meet up again.

Once again, thank you so much for everything you did.

Best Regards

Jackie n Chris

It is always great to receive feed back from other suppliers - Whilst working at Jackie and Chris' wedding reception we really enjoyed meeting and working alongside Theo Loyla DJ Banana Power Travelling Discotheque

In my 40+ years as a dj I have worked with many toastmasters and rate Jonathan & Nikki as friendly, approachable, efficient, smart and totally reassuring. An exceptional team.

The wedding of Stephanie & Peter on 9th March 2013 was a first for Your Toastmasters! Stephanie from the ages of 5 - 11 was an ex pupil of both Nikki & Jonathan - we were delighted to have been part of her special day.

Steff sent this message via facebook messages:

Nikki and Jon and the service they provide made our day run so smoothly that we could enjoy our special day, without worrying about timings and if everything had been done or not. They also helped on a personal level by being my go to people, I lost my photographer and cars 3 months before the wedding and they were able to sort all this for me without me having to stress out about it, which I did very often lol. All of our guests were impressed by the sabrage we performed and we could cut the cake with a sword which was brilliant. I strongly recommend this service to anyone planning their special day as I couldn't have done it without them.

We were delighted to have been toastmasters for Alun & Vicky at their wedding ceremony at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart, Herne Bay and wedding breakfast & reception at Sandwich Arts and Community Centre, Sandwich on 10th November 2012.

Hello!!

So we are back from our honeymoon and back to reality!! Just wanted to get in touch with you both to say thank you so much!!!

We loved the wedding, for us it was perfect, even the rain didn’t dampen the guests spirits and we thought everything went really well. Thank you so much for your hard work, honestly could not recommend you highly enough, you ensured it all went to plan and to make up on time lost from the bus disaster was amazing! We were very lucky to have lots of talented professional around us making sure it all come together!

So many of our guests commented on you – saying how professional you were and helpful and just brought a really nice touch to the day, making sure everyone knew what was going on, bringing it all together.

Nikki – Alun was singing your praises about how you were at the church, sorting all the guys buttonholes and just getting them altogether! He said you were a god send to a very nervous and emotional groom!! ;)

Now – where would you like me to write my declarations of love for you guys? Facebook or your website or somewhere else? Just let me know.

Kind regards Mrs Owen

Vicky also wrote on our facebook page: Hey John and Nikki, Alun and I can not thank you enough for your services on our wedding day 10.11.12 - we owe you guys a lot for the smooth running of the day!! eternally grateful! We have heard nothing but glowing reports from our guests too who said you were both amazing - professional as always, I can not recommend you enough!!

♥♥ Mr and Mrs Owen ♥♥

Your Toastmasters are keen to support local charities and this one was a wonderful event to be part of with Nikki acting as auctioneer - Jason and his team raised a whopping £32, 400 for SCUBU. 28th September 2012

Jason Short Organiser Charity cycle ride Lands End to Margate & fundraiser event for Margate Special Care Baby Unit 28th September 2012 at The Pavilion Broadstairs posted this on our facebook page.

I would like to say a massive thankyou to Nikki and Jonathan. You stepped in at short notice and rescued me. Very organised and very professional at such a tough event. You really did help make the charity auction a huge success.

You'll be top of the list for the next one. Huge thank you from all involved!!!!

Whilst we are based in Kent it is always great fun to travel to be part of a special occasion. The wedding of Dean & Joanne on 8th September 2012 took us to Portrush, Northern Ireland a wonderful wedding to have shared with Dean & Joanne

To Jon and Nikki,

Many thanks for all your help and advice on our big day! Your assistance assured the whole day from start to finish went without a hitch! The kind helpful manner in which you guided us in the correct direction made it look almost choreographed, not to mention the opportunity to open a bottle of champagne with a saber! That was impressive and made an excellent photo opportunity and is still a talking point! The certificate of which hangs in the hall just to prove I am now qualified to perform said act! (The training of which was very easy and quite safe.) I would have no hesitation in recommending your services to anyone for any occasion which requires a certain touch of class!

May we take this opportunity to wish you every success in the future. Again thank you.

The happy couple Dean & Joanne.

Your Toastmasters travelled to Addington Palace Croydon for the Nigerian English Wedding of Steven and Emma Arinze. We really enjoyed this colourful wedding for a special couple.

April 2012 - Your Toastmasters and Masters of Ceremonies really enjoyed officiating at the Winter Gardens Margate, for the Masonic Centre at their Charity Gala Evening - we ensured the event ran to time allowing the organisers to also enjoy the event

Dear Jonathan & Nikki,

Thank you very much for officiating at our Charity Gala Evening at the Winter Gardens, Margate in April. I think you would agree that it was an outstanding success. Your organisational skills and attention to detail allowed us all to enjoy a very good evening without ourselves having the stress of ensuring the evening went as planned. I very much look forward to working with you again in the future and once again a big thank you from everyone at the Masonic Centre.

Yours Sincerely,

An amazing couple I have had the privilege to work alongside. It is fantastic to be able to liaise and work with such extremely professional, punctual and helpful people, who are willing to do any job asked of them! I have also found it a true joy to be involved with such a knowledgeable, unique and genuine pair of amazing toastmasters, well done Nikki and Jonathan, you are a credit to your profession!!

March 2012 - Your Toastmasters worked at the ever popular wedding fayre hosted by Quex Park. With Wedding Toastmaster Jonathan meeting and greeting all visitors at the main doors and Lady Toastmaster Nikki ensuring everyone visited all the exhibitors

Five star compliments for Your Toastmasters ... I am very impressed with the professional, friendly and attentive service you provide, ensuring guests are attended to and the event is a success.

Vivienne Smith, Quex Park, Birchington March 2012

The event proved a great success for brides and exhibitors alike.

Once every four years a special event comes along and Your Toastmasters were there to help make Carol's proposal that bit special 29th February 2012

I was planning a Leap Year proposal and a friend suggested I should contact Nikki and Jonathan, although I was unsure why I would use a Toastmaster for a proposal.  I had put no real thought into what I was going to do, Nikki, very quickly, came up with a string of ideas.  All of which were great but we had to consider the weather and the personalities involved.  Although we opted for something low key but it was low key with style.  They made sure everything was organised, they communicated everything really well and the attention to detail was outstanding.  They really did go the extra mile.   

Thank you both for making the day incredibly special.

Your Toastmasters put on their event coordinator hats to organise and run a vintage fashion show in aid of PilgrimsHospices. A huge thank you to all that donated gifts and time. 30th November 2011

Dear Nikki & Jon,We would like to thank you both for a really delightful evening.  The fashion show you organised on the 30th  November2011 raised £2000.  We really appreciate that you have chosen to support the Pilgrims Hospices.

Thank You Nikki and Jonanthan love the Bride and Groom ( Mr & Mrs Robins ) x

Your Toastmasters provided event coordination services for T.G. Aviation & Thanet Flying Club Fun Fly Event at T.G. Aviation Manston Airport August 2011

The Fun Fly at T.G. Aviation has always been our best event but you guys improved it and the feedback has been fantastic. I know I am good at hiding it but the pressure on me to ensure it all goes off safely is immense. Being able to delegate tasks knowing they will be done better than I could is brilliant. Maybe 1 a month next summer!

Best wishes and thanks, Mark & Sue Girdler

Your Toastmasters provided toastmaster services at Natalie & Peter's Wedding Anniversary Garden Party July 2011

Dear Nikki and Jonathan, 

I just would like to thank you for the fantastic support at our wedding anniversary. It would not have been the same without you and it is such a shame you were not a toastmaster couple when I got married as although the day was perfect then, it would have been sublime with you there as well. 

All my guests have commented on how pleasant it was to be guided where to park their cars, where to enter my garden, and most importantly where they could keep their drinks nice and chilled on such a fantastic day. Some people even made a comment saying “only at Natalie’s and Peter’s he he?” Pure class and so relaxed and pleasant at the same time.

I can only say that future clients have made the right choice and will have a stress free day ahead of them. 

Next big party we host, you will be the first we call. I have also attached some pictures as a souvenir. 

Thank you again from Natalie and Peter Sharpe Natalie Sharpe-Defloor.
