Private Dinner at Lygon Arms

February 10, 2020 By WebMaster

In January I was hired as a Toastmaster and Master of Ceremonies for a private dinner at Lygon Arms, Broadway in Worcestershire. A most beautiful Cotswold village and hounds ready to hunt.

The photographs show:

  1. I remember our conversation was friendly but the picture suggests otherwise..
  2. Acting as Master of Ceremonies
  3. Dr Joanne Liu made a beautiful acceptance speech which honoured those of her colleagues who were killed and injured at the hospital in Kunduz and those who lost their lives during the Ebola crisis.
  4. This is why we Toastmasters wear red, I am reminded by my colleague Geoff Harris.

Richard Birtchnell is The Asian Wedding Toastmaster

Privileged as always to participate in a Hindu wedding celebration. At the Marriott Grosvenor Square. Working alongside Veer Events, Mahraj Vaisnava, DJ Krash at Devine Music, harpist Melissa Parmar, photographer Dino Jeram,and videographer Chris Jolly.

Photos include:

  • The happy couple, Amish and Hatal
  • Family group photos after the ceremony
  • If you didn’t know it, the swastika was originally an Indian religious icon and still today a sacred symbol in Hinduism. Even the word ‘swastika’ is Sanskrit for ‘prosperity and well being’.
  • Creative arrangement of reception cocktails
  • The game of ‘Koda Kodi’ played by the couple whereby they search for a ring in opaque coloured liquid and whoever finds it first is deemed to be the ‘ruler’ of the household. The priest will adjudicate and organise the best of three or five attempts until the bride comes out on top. But of course!
  • The ‘Ace of Spades’ Champagne may be as expensive as the cake! Pure indulgence. Sheer luxury.
  • The Best Man organises a flash mob to entertain couple
  • Strictly the first dance. Unrepeatable. Then it’s a non-stop party to the end after a day of celebration which had begun at 8am

Toastmaster British Aviation Group 2017 Dinner London 05

I was honored to invited to act as Toastmaster and MC at the British Aviation Group annual dinner at the Sheraton Grand Park Lane.

Attending the dinner was Mike Miller-Smith MBE, CEO of Aerobility, the charity which teaches disabled individuals to learn to fly, no matter how severe their condition, with absolutely stunning results. The charity is a regular beneficiary of the British Aviation Group dinner from generous guest donations.

Mike is the inspiration and founder. As he says: “If a disabled person can fly, what else can can they do?”

This memory popped up and am happy to share as the perfect wedding in the best wedding venue. It is such a privilege to participate in my clients’ special days.

The Painted Hall at the Old Royal Naval College Greenwich

March 29, 2017 By WebSite Owner

The London Toastmaster in Greenwich

I love this wonderful building, indeed the whole estate of the Old Royal Naval College, with its beautifully proportioned classic facades, cloisters and columns. The magnificent Painted Hall is recognised as the greatest piece of decorative painting in England and has been described as the Sistine Chapel of the UK. Designed by Sir Christopher Wren and Nicholas Hawksmoor, it was originally intended as a dining hall for the naval pensioners who lived on site at the Royal Hospital for Seamen.

The Landmark Hotel – My Favourite Lobby?

February 6, 2017 By WebSite Owner

I have always thought the Landmark Hotel in Marylebone Road has the finest and most exotic lobby in London. It is in the form of an atrium garden with a mezzanine gazebo which is perfect for cocktail receptions before inviting guests to one of two magnificent Ballrooms.
