Wedding Toastmaster & Master of Ceremonies
Back in August of last year, I was hired as a wedding Toastmaster and Master of Ceremonies for a Muslim wedding at Addington Palace in Croydon. It began with smoke to accompany the arrival of the groom on his horse and ended with aerobatic fireworks from Aerosparx motor gliders.
