Sonal Dave Full Description
Hi everyone, I have been in the events industry for many years and am always looking to make your day so very special. I am am award winning Lady Toastmaster and Celebrant. Depending on your style of event I can be dressed in the official Toastmasters uniform or a black tailed long coat. However if you are having a themed wedding happy to dress accordingly. I am a Ceremonies Celebrant and can help you to create a unique and personalised wedding specific to you both and your personalities including the music. I can also help you both when writing for personal vows. The ceremony can include family and friends and even your pets. I am versed in asian traditions and can can include symbolic moments from asian ceremonies including various mantras, the milni, garlands, mangalsutra, sindoor and others. We can discuss what is right for you. This all allows me to be the perfect Celebrant for fusion / mixed culture weddings. My husband has a live band so as part of creating the perfect ceremony we can discuss the style of music you would like. This can be instrumental or include vocals. The band can perform all styles of music. For those of you who would like to renew your vows or welcome a new born with a naming ceremony I can also help with these ceremonies as well.

Highly Highly Recommend

Long Overdue Post ❤️ A few weeks ago we had the opportunity to work with the very talented very beautiful and very professional Sonal Dave the wonderful toastmaster, and public speaker. She hosted our first Smile with Shiv charity gala and Sonal did a impeccable job on the day. If you are looking for someone to host an event highly highly recommend Sonal. Sonal it was a pleasure to work with you, it’s not easy what a toastmaster does but if you want someone who can set the tone & structure the evening & Make your guest & you (the hosts) feel comfortable then you need Sonal. Another wonderful PA collaboration. Aarti Sawhney Co-owner of New Vision Opticians Rayners Lane

Happy couple married in August

she went above and beyond to make it special for us

Sonal was exactly what we wanted from a celebrant. Funny, interested in our ideas, open to suggestions and last minute alterations. Sonal spoke in a clear way which enabled my husband to lip read her easily throughout the ceremony and get the most out of his wedding too. Her calm presence helped us stay calm and she was prepared with our vows, including leaving us a lovely package with our ceremony script to keep. As far as a celebrant goes, she went above and beyond to make it special for us, even braving the heat! Thank you xx

Amazing!

Sonal booked our company (Sugar Sisters Photobooths) for her clients wedding and what a wedding it was! Sonal was able to keep everyone’s attention and also kept everyone, including us, entertained. Sonal Was constantly checking the time, knew all the suppliers (introduced herself upon our arrival) and was just so welcoming and bubbly! I’ve met a few Toastmasters and Sonal is the First Lady toastmaster I had personally met and it was lovely to see. She done an amazing job and I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Brilliant toastmaster

Sonal was an excellent Toastmaster at the event I attended for a same sex couple. She engaged all the guests well, communicating and explaining all the time. Sonal made sure the couples entrance was grand and everyone took part. It really helped that Sonal made sure the bar was closed at important times. Sonal made me feel so happy and proud to be part of the event through her positive energy and caring nature

An award winning night

I booked Sonal for a charity awards night and honestly, hand on heart, I can say Sonal was the best decision I had made. Sonal was not only adding the humour to the event but allowed myself and my co-organiser to relax and enjoy the evening. The quiet moments were filled in, the timing was kept in check and Sonal mingled with all the guests. I highly recommend Sonal if you want a light hearted, burst of energy addition to your event.
