The successful holding of a wedding feast largely depends on the toastmaster. Previously, the funniest relative or friend acted as the host. Now professionals are taking on this role. When choosing a toastmaster, you must clearly understand what you need and follow several rules.
Instructions
Step 1
You can find a host for a wedding celebration by contacting a wedding agency and telling about your wishes. There they will select a suitable toastmaster, and you will have to approve their choice. You can search on your own by looking at advertisements in the newspaper, chatting on wedding forums on the Internet or by interviewing friends of newlyweds. Find out their opinion about the toastmaster, watch the video of this wedding and, if you liked the host, ask for his contact details.
Step 2
Another place to look might be a restaurant or cafe where you are going to host your wedding banquet. Often in such places there is a list of hosts who regularly hold weddings there. The administrator can recommend the best ones for you.
Step 3
Be sure to make a personal meeting with a potential toastmaster. So you can be sure of the correctness of the recommendations, evaluate its appearance, manner of communication. He must have excellent diction, the ability to express his thoughts in an accessible and beautiful way, resourcefulness, sense of humor. It is equally important that a person be able to win over, listen and hear the interlocutor. If the toastmaster asks questions, asks in detail about your wishes regarding competitions and the scenario, this is a sign of a professional approach to business.
Step 4
Be sure to ask the future toastmaster to show several videos of his previous events. If he works according to ready-made scenarios, stipulate the possibility of their correction or addition. Ideally, the presenter should develop a script for a wedding celebration not according to a template, but specifically for your wedding. Be sure to tell him your vision of the holiday, tastes and preferences of the guests. Check with the host if he works alone or with musicians, DJs and videographers.
Step 5
Meet with a few people before making a final decision. Be prepared to pay in advance. Be sure to conclude an agreement where you write down all the conditions that are important for you. Determine who will be responsible for poor-quality work on the part of the toastmaster - the host himself or the wedding agency.
