A great time for toasts is after your first dance and prior to dinner service (or during/between early courses).  You definitely don’t want to put them off until too late in the evening, when it’s difficult to keep guests’ attention.  We recommend this order: Welcome speech, any bridal party toast, blessing (if any), then dinner.

*Tip – for best sound, projection and to avoid feedback, try and remind toast people to hold microphone right up to their mouth (not down by their chest ) and to avoid standing right in front of speakers.
