Hi everyone, I’m Mark Greatbatch, and for nearly 20 years, I’ve had the absolute privilege of being part of thousands of wedding days helping couples celebrate one of the biggest days of their lives.
In that time, I’ve overseen just shy of 3,000 events each one unique, each one special and throughout it all, my role has always been about one thing: making sure the day runs smoothly so you can simply enjoy it.
Now, for many years, that meant being a Toastmaster or Master of Ceremonies the traditional figure in the red coat, guiding guests, announcing entrances, and keeping the day flowing. But over the last few years, I’ve noticed a real shift.
Weddings have changed. Couples are looking for something a little more relaxed… more personal… less formal yet still organised and seamless. And that’s where my new approach as a Wedding Host comes in. Think of it as having all the professionalism, planning, and structure of a Toastmaster but with a softer edge. It’s still about coordination, timing, and communication… but it’s also about personality, connection, and creating the right atmosphere for your day.
As a Wedding Host, I’m still there to make sure everything happens when it should that suppliers are ready, speeches run smoothly, and the day flows perfectly but without the formality that some people now feel doesn’t quite fit their style of celebration. I’ll work closely with you before the day to understand your tone, your guests, and what really matters to you.
On the day itself, I’m your calm presence, your communicator, your organiser and the person who quietly makes sure everything just… works.
So, if you’ve ever thought, “We love the idea of someone managing the day, but a traditional Toastmaster feels too formal for us,” that’s exactly why I’ve evolved my role. It’s not about losing tradition it’s about adapting it. It’s about keeping everything that works the structure, the confidence, the professionalism and blending it with warmth, personality, and modern style.
After almost two decades and nearly 3,000 events, I’ve learned one thing above all every wedding deserves someone who truly understands your vision of the perfect day. Whether you call me a Toastmaster, a Master of Ceremonies, or a Wedding Host my job is simple: to make sure your day runs beautifully.
If that sounds like what you’re looking for, I’d love to chat, and here’s to creating a day that’s effortlessly you.
