“We owe you a huge thank you; you made our wedding day perfect. Every one of our guests commented on how wonderful you were, and how you had taken the time out to talk to everyone. You organized all the Hilton staff, dealt with any problems with no fuss and most importantly your amazing skills meant we had nothing to worry or think about and therefore we only had to sit back and enjoy our day, which we did. Our day was totally relaxed, ran to time and incredibly organized and we owe a thanks to you for this.

“Thank you for the superb way in which you structured the unstructurable at the Berkeley dress show. Without you it would have been total mayhem and you handled every drama – and they were legion – with total panache and your own brand of indestructable cool! I do hope you will now be a permanent part of the London Season and frankly, I shall not be undertaking another without you!”

“Thank you for your expertise and calmness.”
“Thank you; dinner was a triumphant success.”

“As a wedding photographer, I have worked with several Toastmasters, and I can heartily recommend the services of Richard. He has the rare ability to effectively run an event without interfering with the enjoyment of the guests: rather his pleasant demeanour and general panache adds to the pleasant experience of attending one of the events at which he works. When asked by my clients to recommend a toastmaster, his is the only name I suggest.”
“We greatly appreciate your involvement in the Lord Mayor’s Africa Gala at the Guildhall. A number of guests have said how seamless it all was, which is largely because we were in your safe hands I’m sure.”
