"On behalf of this year's President of Chelsea Lodge W.Bro. Glyn Harvey and myself & John Logan, the Chelsea Lodge and all the audience, cast and crew I would like to sincerely thank you for being a part of the 2019 Chelsea Lodge Ladies Festival. Another very busy night which even through our critical eyes gets the thumbs up. Thanks for running the formal section so well, the speeches came over very well. We didn't wrap up until around 01:00 but the floor was still pretty full even at that time. It seems quite a number of guests were still in the room nearly an hour later and I saw the bars emptying around 03:00 which is something of a late night record for this event. So I think you can conclude a good time was had by all. Thanks very much indeed for all of your efforts on our behalf and I hope you enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed you being involved."

"With Paul as our celebrant, our meetings and other sessions, email exchange, the overall follow up and most importantly on the day was amazing from your side! We both said out of all the ‘suppliers’ you were the most hands on and better than the wedding coordinators! You were with us from the beginning and made sure everything ran smoothly right until the last minute. We honestly couldn’t thank you enough for making our day perfect."

"(2015) "I thought Mark Jones was majestic in his handling and compèring the event. He kept everything moving in a most professional and competent manner; I can think of few other hosts who could have handled the event in such a professional way and with the provision of such good sound and lighting (which Mark also supplied). Many other super-expensive high-profile presenters would have stumbled over some of the Sri-Lankan pronunciations and protocols required. Mark did not." (2016) "Thank you for making the BRISLA awards such a success again! Next year’s event is November 14th 2017. Are you free? Please reserve the date.” "

"We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant and toastmaster than Paul for our wedding. From start to finish, he was professional, organised, and an absolute pleasure to work with. He kept the day running smoothly and seamlessly, ensuring everything happened at the right time without ever feeling rushed or forced. Paul’s presence added a real sense of occasion, and his confidence and charm put both us and our guests completely at ease. He handled announcements effortlessly, coordinated perfectly with the venue and suppliers, and dealt with any little changes calmly and discreetly — which meant we could simply relax and enjoy our day. So many of our guests commented on how fantastic Paul was and how much he contributed to the atmosphere of the day. We are incredibly grateful for the role he played in making our wedding so special and memorable, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a truly excellent toastmaster. Many thanks for all your help,"

"We wanted both Marguerite and I to thank you very much for your essential role at our wedding last month on 12 July. We have had indeed many of our guests who told us rightfully how impressed they had been by you. As we had told you, to our knowledge, Toastmasters are not very common in weddings across the Channel. Your presence brought a great combination of English pomp and style with a wonderful smoothness all along the evening that enabled both of us to fully enjoy the moment. We are aware French people can be a little bit more unruly with keeping time and you did wonderfully! The fact that you made the announcements both in English and in French or your attention to such details as the right pronunciation of names made such a difference. It was a “tour de force”! We’ll be always happy to corroborate how happy we have been with your wonderful and bilingual contribution on our wedding day, and of course to recommend you warmly any time we will have the opportunity to. Encore Mille Mercis. With our very best wishes et notre meilleur souvenir,"

Une occasion mémorable et je vous souhaite à tous les deux beaucoup de bonheur. Maître de cérémonie Paul Deacon

"Peter was one of the best motivational speakers I had the pleasure of working with. He captured the audience, and spoke from the heart. I truly recommend using this talented, passionate and sincere speaker for any event to motivate people in the workforce."

"It is my pleasure to provide this testimonial for Guy McDonald, who served as Master of Ceremonies for the SACIG & SAAA Conference Gala Dinner held in Cape Town in May 2026. As a Professional Conference Organiser, I work with a variety of speakers, entertainers, and MCs throughout the year, and Guy was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the moment he took to the stage, he brought professionalism, warmth, humour, and an exceptional ability to engage the audience. Guy quickly connected with our delegates and expertly tailored his style to suit the audience. His timing, humour, and interaction were spot on, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere while maintaining the professionalism appropriate for a healthcare conference. His games and audience engagement were particularly well received and contributed significantly to the success of the evening. In addition to his performance on stage, Guy was well prepared, easy to work with, and demonstrated a genuine commitment to ensuring the event was a success. The feedback received from delegates and organisers alike was overwhelmingly positive, and I would have no hesitation in recommending Guy McDonald as an MC for corporate events, conferences, gala dinners, and special occasions. We look forward to working with him again in the future."
