We are here to care for you
Our toastmasters are here to care for you, especially on your wedding day. Our toastmasters are here to help you with your wedding, function or special occasion and to make sure that you get the day of your dreams.
Most old school toastmasters may think that they are at your function just to make announcements. At the English Toastmasters Association our toastmasters offer so much more. If you are holding an event such as a wedding, where it is important that you get things right, for both your own comfort and the comfort of your guests, choosing the right toastmaster is the best way to make sure that you get what you want.
If you are a bride, the six most important things for your wedding day will probably include your wedding dress, your groom, your venue, your guests, your wedding toastmaster and having fun.
Our passion is to make your dreams a reality
You will find our members are passionate about the services that they will offer you. You should expect care and attention to detail from each one of our members. You will get a higher level of personalised and caring service to make sure that you feel pampered on your special day. We are all trained to the very highest standards of care for you.

Skilled Professional Toastmasters that will care for you at your function.
The toastmasters and masters of ceremonies at the English Toastmasters Association are ready to help you, if you are looking for a professional toastmaster that will provide services for your function in a way that is somewhat different from the norm. We have no stuffed shirts here! Our toastmasters are highly trained and extremely client focused, which means that you will get exceptional service from people that care about what you want. Our training and code of ethics is designed to make sure that you can trust our members to deliver quality from your very first meeting and throughout your event, in exactly the style and way that you want, and with confidence. "As sturdy and reliable as the English Oak".
The English Toastmasters Association and our members.
We have also listed all of the other main organisations that represent the interests of toastmasters, that we can find. We are here to help and advise you, whatever your event or occasion. The professional toastmasters in our association are here to make sure you get a smoothly run, well managed function, whether it is a wedding of any type or culture, civic or civil function, charity ball, garden party, ladies festival, retirement party, corporate event, product launch, fund raising event or virtually any other type of event where professional help and or management is essential. A toastmaster is a guardian of etiquette, which is
a code that governs the expectations of social behaviour. Our Association is based on tradition but with a modern twist if you prefer, "as traditional as the English Rose".
Improvements for clients' services offered by toastmasters.
One of our main aims at the English Toastmasters Association® is to improve the professionalism and standing of toastmasters from all Associations, Federations, Guilds and other groups by raising the standards of care and of services that toastmasters offer their clients. We are pleased to offer high quality training to anyone interested in becoming a professional toastmaster, as well as for experienced toastmasters who wish to polish and hone their skills. If you wish to raise your standards by further training and sharpen your focus on your clients' needs, we are the Association to help you. "Quality and reliability that you can trust".
Client focused services.
Our toastmasters believe that The English Toastmasters Association® is the most client focused of all the toastmasters' organisations. We are a totally professional organisation whose members believe that our clients' needs are paramount. There are many ways that we are different from other organisations that represent toastmasters and aside from focusing on our client's needs, one important concept to aid our professional approach to our clients is that we believe that alcohol and professionalism do not mix during our clients' functions. This is only one of our code of ethics and our complete code may be found by using this link. http://www.englishtoastmasters.co.uk/ethics.php
We serve you the way that you want us to.
The English Toastmasters Association recommends that our members work in the style that their clients prefer and do not dictate to their clients what they should have or do. Our Toastmasters will listen to what you want, notates and check with you that they understand what you want and deliver excellence. We are here to serve you and it is our pleasure to do so. If you are having a formal function - our members will be pleased to assist. If you are having a fun and friendly event - our members are here to help and stimulate you and your guests. At this type of function it is usual to consider a very important element to complete our attire, that is, a toastmaster with a beaming smile. The members of the English Toastmasters Association believe that every one of their clients are special to them and so are all of our clients' functions and their guests.
 The English Toastmasters Association® Trade Stand
