Hi Brian, We just wanted to say a big thank you for all your help on our wedding day, we have just returned
from holiday and will send you a thank you letter next week, Liz & Aiden via e-mail.
As Promised,
Dear Brian,
We would like to thank you for all you have done to make our wedding run smoothly,
From the initial meeting you were full of helpful advice, things that were vitally important that no one
else had even thought of or explained to us.
Although we had a small wedding I am so glad you were there to help run the day and sort out those
inevitable wedding day glitches, leaving us to relax and enjoy our big day.
We would not think twice about recommending you to others.
A Big Thank You once again. Liz & Aiden Meredith.

Dear Brian, Now that we have had time to sit down and reflect, I can honestly say Sarah and I are
a good judge of character. Mind you----- you made it easy!
Without any references or backround knowledge we booked you at face value,
and we are both glad we did. Thank you for making our special day that little bit less stressful.
When you were needed, you were there, when you wasn't you were pulling the strings in the
backround.
From Bringing us water without request to re-arranging the drawing room you were an unsung hero
for the day. I/We would like to take this opportunity to thank you and say that we will strongly
recommend your services to anyone that asks for a Toastmaster,
Thanks Again, Craig & Sarah.

Our wedding day passed in a whirl of happy moments and Brian's efforts throughout the day
contributed heavily towards that.
We were able to relax and spend time with people and just enjoy the day, and it was a great comfort
to see him there in his red coat to advise on anything we needed.
Brian was able to smooth over any small hiccups that arose on the day without troubling us, and
we can't remember now what they might have been!.
He was also great at co-ordinating those little extras and made everyone feel at ease.

Dear Brian,
Thank you so much for looking after our Ladies Festival Banquet on Saturday 24th Jan 2009
at The Marsham Court Hotel Bournemouth.
Everyone said how much they enjoyed it which is in great part down to you.
We have tried several Toastmasters in previous years but untill now, had not found anyone that
we would want to book for a second year., In Fact Toastmasters had Become my Greatest Frustration!!
You struck exactly the right balance between humour, entertainment and formality whilst
ensuring that the evening progressed at a sensible pace.
We would certainly like to book you again for next year.
Many thanks Colin Phipp Festival Secretary, Lodge of Good Companions .

was just right. I would be more than happy to recommend you to other Lodge functions and
wish you all the best.
