Just a quick message to thank you so, so much for your superb service as our toast master on Friday. The day went so smoothly, and that is largely down to a great relationship you sparked with our guests and your extensive knowledge of all things wedding!

Thank you again.

All the team and suppliers were brilliant. Gabby helped so much on the day, and Peter Tautz the toastmaster pulled everything together brilliantly

Our feedback is very positive. We both felt, as well as many of our guests, you were a real asset to the day. From helping the boys with their button holes, to giving me a few pep-talks and coordinating every aspect of the day – it really would not have been the same without you!

I liked that you contacted me beforehand to run through the finer details and you were very accommodating with some of the ideas we weren’t too sure about e.g. heads and tails… we probably wouldn’t have done it had you not been there! You were extremely professional throughout the day and helped everything run so smoothly.

You certainly didn’t hinder anything!!

You did a fantastic job and really made the day run smoothly….can’t thank you enough and would definitely recommend you.

Everyone enjoyed your presence and thought it was such a lovely touch how you were a part of our special day!

I thought you were fantastic.

It’s funny that you emailed because I was talking to a girl in my office about the wedding and specifically why it would be a brilliant idea to have a toastmaster, some venues don’t offer it and you have to hire one separately, but I think after having you there to guide the day it wouldn’t have been the same.

Not only did you keep things on track, but you also did it in a way that so that people didn’t feel like they were being forced into something, you lifted the mood and kept it fun. I also loved how you called me before and ran through everything but then also told me and Bobby to stop for a moment, take everything in and really think about it. You then reminded us on the day to watch everyone enjoying themselves and it was really lovely. It goes so quickly and I genuinely feel like that helped us to savour the moment and keep our memories.

The way you introduced everyone into the speeches was great because I know they were all nervous, but you helped ease them in and made sure everyone was quiet for them to start.

I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a toastmaster to have you, I can’t imagine they come much better, and if I had my wedding all over I most certainly would want you there.

Thank you for being a part of our day, I wish we could do it all over again it was brilliant.

Eithne and I wanted to get in touch to say a huge thank you for all your advise, shepherding and professionalism throughout our whole wedding day. Having a toast master was the best decision we made for our wedding celebrations. Your efforts were clearly over and above the call of duty and so greatly appreciated.

You held the day together for us and ensured we had the time to enjoy our day. Your calmness, experience and communication skills were so valuable and helped ensure that our fabulous day was so memorable and enjoyable for us and all our guests. I hope you enjoyed it a little as well. You will forever be in our memories as part of the day.

Peter was awesome! A nickname we did not use but would have been appropriate would have been Mr Glue! The venue and hotel had all of their responsibilities which they managed very well, but it was Peter that assisted and held it all together and allowed smooth transitions through the various stages of our big day. From the actual wedding, through the celebratory drinks, into reception and speeches it just closed perfectly! My wife and I were blown away by his style, class and skill at bringing all the parts together to make it a memorable day! We will be forever grateful for all of Peters work on our wedding day.

It was the big things like allowing the day to flow, along with the little things like providing me with a bottle of champagne to pop and pour my wife her first glass as a married couple, and then giving us the cork back with a lucky sixpence in it. And assisting me in making a subtle but smooth variation to my grooms’ speech.

We are indebted and immensely grateful, do from my wife and I, thank you!

Would highly recommend!

I wanted to say a massive thank you for everything you did on Saturday to make Amy and Richard’s day go so smoothly. You worked so hard to pull everything together and this made such a difference to the enjoyment of the day. Your professionalism in handling all unforeseen circumstances (such as the ‘over refreshed best man’) and gathering guests for each important moment was much appreciated. We loved the special touches, such as encouraging the guests to write messages on the table cards and ‘drumming up’ much enthusiastic reception for each speech.

The evening guests all told us that they appreciated being made to feel so welcome and that arriving in time for the bouquet throwing and the cake cutting, followed by the first dance, immediately made them feel very much part of the wedding.

We all had the most amazing time. You are totally brilliant and I would recommend you to everyone. Do you have a link for me to write a review?

Pip and I would like to say a huge thank you for everything you did for us on our wedding day. Everything ran like clockwork thanks to you and we were both able to relax and enjoy our day. We couldn’t have wished for a better toastmaster, professional, funny, and an all-round amazing person.

Massive thank you for your help in orchestrating our big day.

It really was a special day, and all our guests mentioned that we owe you a big thank you for keeping it all together for us. We truly agree.

You’re a top guy.

Peter Tautz is just wonderful – a consummate professional with a wicked sense of humour that kept our day going. Put him in a room of cats and he’ll have them all lined up following him around in no time. We were blessed that he was able to share our special day with us last year. Thank you!

Hi Peter

We have just got back from our honeymoon and I’m just getting round to thanking everyone who helped make our day so special.

To be honest when first organising my wedding, I didn’t really see the need for a toastmaster and if you hadn’t come as part of the package at the London Golf Club I wouldn’t have ever booked one.

Well that would have been a big mistake, you were amazing!!!
You are a great guy, all our guests say how good you were and extremely friendly. You made our wedding run smoothly and took control when it was needed. We can’t thank you enough, you helped make our day extra special and on reflection it wouldn’t have gone the same without you.
Any friends or family who plan on getting married my first recommendation is going to be a toastmaster (100% YOU!). Thanks again for all your hard work.

 

Rachel & James

Barn at Bury Court, 14th April 2017

What can we say, Thank you for being part of our special day! Our wedding day was such an amazing day. We are so lucky and blessed to have such amazing family and friends. From start to finish you made us feel so relaxed. It was lovely to be greeted by you and reassured all day that everything was under control. The day just flowed with thanks to you. We are honoured that you said yes to help us make our day so memorable. You helped us celebrate our joy and the start of our lives together. With your help the whole day ran to time & Nicola got the most amazing pictures of the day. You announced us like celebrities and made the day truly unforgettable, not just for the two of us but our guests too.

 

Matt and Claire

De Vere Selsdon Park Estate, 13th May 2017

We really enjoyed our wedding day. The way you gently kept everybody informed and made everyone feel at ease and never rushed made a huge impact; it allowed the guests to feel a key part of the wedding. The suggestions you made and the manner in which you presented yourself made our day extra special. We’ve had lots of guests contact us since the wedding to express how good you were and we really appreciate you making our wedding such a fun and enjoyable event. “Toastmaster” isn’t the right description of what you do; it’s so much more than that. You helped make our day extra special and everyone enjoyed the day; we cannot thank you enough.

Thank you again

Deborah and Ben Meyer-Lewis

De Vere Selsdon Estate, 15th June 2017

Ben and I would like to say a huge thank you to you. You were so brilliant on Sunday – a pleasure to work with you.

I appreciate that you always communicated with me and even helped me when I was having my mini (and sometimes larger) meltdowns. It must have been difficult to control our wedding as it was large and often frenetic, but you managed it well.

We had such a fantastic time and we hope you did also, even though you were working!

Feel free to include my comments on your website or recommendations pages.

Hanger Farm Barn, 3rd June 2017

We hope this email finds you well. Peter, without wishing to sound OTT, words cannot express how grateful we are to you for all your calm help and kindness on our wedding day. You were truly amazing and everyone loved you!

It was the best decision we could have made in booking you not only as Toast Master but also as our celebrant. I don’t think I have ever laughed so much through a wedding celebration! You did an amazing job at both and we keep saying to each other, ” well we couldn’t have done it without Peter”.

We felt you had a firm hand on every aspect of the day but all carried out with such charm and good humour. You just sorted everything. Martin and I had the most perfect day and so much of that was down to you. It was like having a lovely dad around casino moons Australia, solving all the problems, making sure everyone was where they needed to be, looking after us and anticipating our needs. You added so many lovely touches to the day as well, such as the procession around the main hall and the opening of the champagne. You really helped to set the tone for the day – which was totally joyous for us!

So thank you again Peter for charming us into booking you – it was the best decision we ever made, well other than saying I Do!!!

 

Froyle Parkpeter tautz right toastmaster

I just love it when the team work comes together and we all give the Bride and groom a day never to forget.  A picture sent to me from a wedding a few weeks ago at the stunning Froyle Park with Julie and Taz, I had the pleasure of working with Steven Etheridge and Gemma of Steven Etheridge Wedding Photography taking the photographs and  Gasa & Stefania from Runako Films with the videography, two brilliant suppliers with whom I hope to work alongside again. Julie was very kind and commented ;Taz and I just wanted to say a big thank you for all your support and guidance and for putting up with our mad families on Saturday. We are about to leave for our honeymoon but we just wanted to say thank you again for everything and for sharing our special day’

Gasa from Runako films got in touch saying, ‘We had a lot of fun working along side you and admired your professionalism. It was a spectacular wedding and we will let you know when it’s live on our website. We will definitely recommend you if out future clients enquire.’ and Steven of   Steven Etheridge Wedding Photography also pitched in with the compliments remarking ‘Hi Peter, Great working with you again.  I thought those group photos were never going to end but with your help we got there! Best wishes Steve

Hi Peter, Hope you’re ok and had a good Christmas. We had an amazing day thank you. We honestly feel you helped make it what it was. From start to finish you were very attentive and gave us good ideas to help on the day, for example cutting the cake straight after the ceremony and using it as canapés. Everyone said how good you were and you got everyone lively at every opportunity; like welcoming us into the wedding breakfast, tossing the bouquet and during the speeches. Highly recommended, 5* service Kindest regards, The new Mr and Mrs Lincoln Old Thorns Hotel 4th December 2016

Peter was the Toastmaster for our wedding at Selsdon Park Hotel. It was clear from out initial phone call before the day that he was experienced in how to manage his duties on a Wedding day and also offered us flexibility on how best to use his services. On the day, Peter executed his tasks impeccably and contributed greatly to the smooth running of the pre Wedding Breakfast events. During the Wedding Breakfast, he gave the meal real purpose, and fun, through the manner he coordinated the running order. We found Peter to be respectful, courteous, funny and possessing a wonderful ability to ensure the day runs effectively. His contribution to our day was noted by several guests. We would not hesitate to recommend Peter to any couple on their big day. Thank you Peter.

Dear Peter Firstly, Happy New Year to you and yours, we hope 2017 is perfect for you. Having been somewhat “on the go” since the wedding, a week in New York, then Christmas festivities, we are finally starting to let everything sink in! I don’t know what we would have done without you both beforehand and on the day. The day would not have gone so well without your expertise, knowledge and presence. We are both so grateful to have found you and thank you so much for the amazing role you played on our special day. We also received great comments from our family and friends. Very best wishes and our most heartfelt thanks. Clare & Nathan Watts Royal Marines Museum Portsmouth 17th December 2016

Dear Peter, I hope you are well. I wanted to take the time to thank you for contributing tremendously to the success of our wedding day. I have to say that the day was fantastic and far exceeded our expectations. A large part of that was due to the professionalism of our suppliers. The day could not have run so well without your expertise and guidance and we are so glad that you were able to join us at Hever Castle. We were very impressed with how you kept us on track and interacted with our guests. We really think that you were brilliant and we cannot thank you enough! We would be so happy to recommend your services to our friends and families for any future engagements that they have. Many of our guests, including our family, did comment on how great you were! We wish you best wishes for the future and thank you once again for helping to make our special day even more special.

Hi Peter, What can we say? Our day would really not have been the same without you! You kept the day flowing with perfect timing and managed to make sure everyone was in the right place at the right time – and smiling! You paid special attention to Steve’s Nan, who was in a wheelchair – you helped her feel like she wasn’t missing a thing and was always part of the special moments! From the moment we met you at the wedding fayre, to the morning of the wedding and then arriving at our venue you gave us such amazing advice – you even allowed us 10mins quiet together away from the crowd to let it all sink in. We have had many great comments about you from our guests – you managed to make each guest feel completely happy and sure of what they were doing / where they should be. Thank you so much for being part of our special day and making it run so smoothly – it really was our perfect day! We won’t hesitate to pass on your contact details to anyone we know who is getting married! Thank you again. Danielle and Steven (Mr and Mrs Hale) East Horton Golf Club 18th June 2016

We would like to thank you so much for all the care and attention you gave to us before and on our wedding day. Also for looking after my parents for me and keeping me supplied with bubbly. We were so pleased with how our day went, and you should take a lot of credit for the smooth running of things. You are an absolute credit to your profession. My daughter is getting married next year and she has asked me to find out if you would be available on that day. Hopefully we will be looking at our photos soon, if there are some nice ones with you in would you like to see them? Hopefully hear from you soon Best wishes Karen and Paul Wrigley Southdowns Manor 6th June 2016
