Toastmaster, Day-of Coordinator or none at all?!

I think it depends on who or what you can get for your budget. If your budget only runs to someone who wouldn't be able to provide what you want then you will have wasted your money.

if you consider what your main worries are and make a list could members of your wedding party/close friends and family each take one responsibility from you.

Most of the things we worry about are just us in panic mode I think. Mark a list, like a job description of what you want someone to take control of and then let's have a look and see what we come up with.

a toastmaster would maybe keep you organised on the day a little but are they really going to make sure the toilets are kept clean and tidy? You could employ someone maybe daughters of a family friend to be there on the day to do that part of it and maybe remove empty food plates assuming you don't have a caterer etc.

You need a chief chick! ( A Useful female Best Man)

Most people have a great friend who LOVES organising things and would be honoured to do the job!

I'll be honest, on the whole we find a good firend who's helping organise a lot more useful than a third party. They know everyone by name and do the job with a much more personal aproach!

It's not a toastmaster's job. You need an on-the-day coordinator, which is a wedding planner role.

Doesn't your hall provide anyone? Most venues I've been to has someone managing the actual venue and they will also usually do the announcements. Not always but often they do.

Hi there,

This is what happened in the end! i hadn't realised but a lovely friend of mine is actually a wedding coordinator anyway! (I thought she'd given it up a little while ago). She was marvelous and you're right, it was very personal and all the more special
