What Clients Say about Ian Ellis Toastmaster
“I just wanted to send a heartfelt thank you for the incredible job you did as Toastmaster and DJ on Saturday night. You were the picture of professionalism throughout — calm, organised, and completely in control of the room. Your guidance leading up to the evening was really appreciated. Your craftsmanship in managing the auction and raffle was genuinely impressive — you also helped maximise the amount raised, which was incredibly rewarding for all involved. Everything ran smoothly, and that was in no small part down to your skill, experience, and the calm confidence you bring to the role. Thank you again for helping to make the evening such a success. If you would like any references then i am happy to assist.”
Sean Monaghan (President, St Cedd Lodge, Essex) Saturday 18th October 2025 – at Marygreen Manor, Brentwood, Essex – Masonic Toastmaster
“We booked Ian and his Toastmaster Services after looking at his website and just felt that he would be the right man for our Masonic Ladies Festival Evening. After an initial chat on the phone and then a couple more phone call meetings to collate our running order and all the fine details that are involved on the night, I felt totally comfortable he was in control. He is an absolute professional, amazing attention to detail I felt comfortable after speaking on the phone and I was proven right, I did not have to concern myself with the logistics and timings of the evening once. We had an amazing evening, and I am certain it would not have been the same had Ian not been there to run it. I would not think twice about booking him again, 100% recommend his service.”

Well what can I say! Best decision we ever made on our wedding day was having Ian there. He was absolutely fantastic from start to finish, even before the actual day. He made our lives easy, we didn’t have anything to worry about because Ian had it covered! I can’t thank Ian enough for everything he did, he really was amazing!
