Event:   Jewish Wedding of Nadia and Bradley
Venue:  Pendley Manor, Cow Lane, Tring, Hertfordshire. HP23 5QY  
Date :    14 August 2011 

I was delighted to be asked to officiate as Jewish Wedding Toastmaster and Coordinator and Master of Ceremonies at The Wedding of Nadia and Bradley at Pendley Manor. Pendley Manor is a very nice hotel and stately home, based in The Hertfordshire Countryside. My clients request was to be professional but very modern and to bring in a lot of fun, and that is exactly what I did.

As Hertfordshire Wedding Toastmaster I get to meet and work many different Wedding Professionals, and I was delighted to be working with one of The very top tier Videographers, we worked great alongside each other, and Gavin was kind enough to e-mail me a testimonial based on my performance, as you can see below:-    

      "Jonathan was a pleasure to work with at the wedding at Pendley Manor in Tring. Unlike some of the 'stuffy' toastmasters that can be found, not a moment went by without a smile on Jonathan's face and involvement with guests, getting audience participation throughout the evening from introducing the rabbi, thanking speech makers, or thanking the band and other services involved. From a professional viewpoint in videography, I'd have no hesitation in recommending Jonathan for reasons such as supplying me with the running order in advance of the wedding, making sure myself and colleagues are ready to record before speeches and always informing us about what's about to happen during the day. He even made sure we were to be fed during the evening!-  Gavin Freedman ( Moving Memories Videography) "

On The 28 August 2011, I was delighted to receive recognition for services as Wedding Toastmaster and Master of Ceremonies from The bride and Groom, here are their kind words below:-
    
    "We were searching for a toastmaster when we came across Jon's website. Having contacted him he came round to discuss our forthcoming wedding and our requirements. When we met, we found him to be very professional and very knowledgable about Jewish weddings. After our first meeting Jon very promptly confirmed in writing all the timings and everything that was discussed. Jon kept in contact with us in the lead up to our big day and we made sure he was aware of any changes or new ideas which we had, which Jon in turn had no problem accomodating " 

      "On our wedding day we want to say Jon was absolutely fantastic and nothing was too much trouble. He even helped hold the bride's dress! Jon made sure everything went smoothly on the day and really took the stress from us, which was a huge weight off our shoulders. We cannot thank Jon enough for all this support and assistance on our wedding day, and would recommend him 100% as he is a brilliant and professional toastmaster for all occasions. Our family cannot stop raving about how modern and unique his style was - the way he high-fived the Rabbi following the ceremony and joined in the the Israeli dancing! "

Jon, thank you very much again for all your help.

Love from Nadia and Bradley Joseph
