Dear Eugene and Sheila
On behalf of Veronica and myself I would like to say a BIG thank you to you both on the way you conducted our Ladies Night. The combination of formality/informality and fun was brilliant and really set the standard for the evening (actually it went downhill after you left!).

I am more than pleased to recommend your services.
​

Overall without your control it would have been a very informal affair and these occasions still demand an air of formality.

Once again I thank you so much and look forward to seeing you in January.

Dear Eugene

Our thanks to you are not sufficient, you were the most amazing Toastmaster!

Without you the evening would not have rolled, everyone bought into the evening from the very first moment.
 
So let’s go down the feedback list:

1) Were we happy?....... You betcha!

2) You were fun from the very first moment and kept it going right through the whole evening. From the first moment you reminded us why we were there…the fun started!!

3) I would definatley recommend to you to other Mayors, absolutely in spades! But I feel I want to put you and Sheila into a box and file you under: MINE! No sharing!
 
Once again Eugene thank you.  I hope you enjoyed the menu and you and Sheila didn’t get indigestion!

With my very best wishes,

Tina

Hi to you both,

I hope you are both well, Janvi & I have finally had a chance to go through our wedding photos and came across a few of Eugene in action which i thought you’d like to have. 

Thank you so much for being there on our wedding day and what you did. The guests loved you both and said you added that extra special touch to our events. We received so many compliments about you guys, you added a lot of value, lots of fun and humour which eased the guests on the day. 

I would highly recommend any couple looking for a toastmaster to get in touch with yourselves, we will also recommend you to our friends and family in the future!

I hope you enjoy the photos and you can make use of them!
Thanks

Dear Eugene and Sheila,
 
We would both like to pass on our most sincere thanks to you both for managing and hosting the day with such thought and professionalism. 

You were the glue that held the day together. 

You instilled laughter and fun, and reacted quick to the changes we needed to make.  The receiving line was such fun, and we have enjoyed watching it back on the video. 

The special touch of taking extra care of my elderly grandparents made their day.  My grandma mentions you both every time I see her.

You will be a truly memorable part of our wedding day and we would without reservation recommend you to other brides and grooms. 
 
Best wishes to you both,

Hi Eugene & Sheila,

Saffa and I want to say a massive thank you for your help on our wedding day. Both you two were amazing in terms of your coordination and making sure everything ran smoothly.

Sheila- the ladies side loved you. You ensured everyone knew what they were doing.

Eugene- as you saw the guys loved you they even started throwing you in the air at the end of the day. We loved your presentation and entertainment abilities.

We appreciate the attention to detail, it really made the day special.

We hope you enjoyed the wedding too.

Lastly I will forward over the big group pic Eugene had with the guys as well as any photos from the ladies of Sheila as I know that will help with your website.

I'm sure in no time people will start asking me for your contact details to coordinate their wedding.

Please do keep in touch.

Regards,

Yousif and Saffa

Hi Eugene & Sheila,

Firstly Tanay and myself would like to thank you from our hearts for making our day not only very enjoyable but also highly organised too.


You were on hand for anything we needed.


Your ability to stagger certain aspects for our guests when needed was brilliant.


You both went the extra mile with some of our younger guests performing a magic trick or two in order for them to smile for the photos. In which the younger kids are still talking about now.


I would highly recommend you both to any of our friends and family... as you both ensured the smooth running of the day and that is priceless as a bride and groom for us not to have to worry about anything. 

Thank You once again you were amazing and we hope you enjoyed the day too.

Kind Regards

Dear Eugene,

Thank you for being our Toastmaster and all the support you gave us, a good time was had by all! 



And thank you for dealing with all the unexpected surprises! 

It was greatly appreciated.

Regards:- Milton Keynes Graduation Day

Eugene performed as Toastmaster for us on two, very significant and high profile events for the College. 


Firstly, he hosted our inaugural HND/HNC graduation event, which was held at Woburn Sculpture Gallery. Eugene's presence really added to the great sense of occasion in this wonderful venue and I know the students, their parents and our staff were very impressed with his ability in organising and controlling such large numbers.

The second occasion was to celebrate the anniversary of our Business and Leadership Centre which saw over 100 businesses joining us.  Eugene was instrumental in ensuring that everything went to plan, no mean feat considering the event was held over two floors and involved everything from live music (on both floors), presentations, awards and food!  Again, he was the very epitome of professionalism and we received many plaudits on how smoothly the evening went.

Dear Eugene,


Having returned from holiday, I would like to thank you so much for the amazing show you put on for us. 



I have had so many excellent comments about how very funny you were and the magic of course was seamless.   I'm sure you got a feel for that anyway by the amount of  laughing from the audience.   


Personally, I still can't get the image of the folded banana out of my mind. Brilliant!

I look forward to future opportunities of seeing you perform and in the meantime thank you so much for all your support. 

Kind Regards,
Louise

Dear Eugene & Sheila.

I would like to say a special thank you to you both for the wonderful job you did at our Graduation Ceremony yesterday. Having professional toastmasters at an event of this calibre added to the sense of occasion and formality beautifully. It was a joy to work you both and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your professional toastmaster services to others.

 I look forward to working with you on the 20th November, as an aside we also have our student of the year awards next June, which I would like to book you for. 


 Also wondered for the 20th Nov would you also like to showcase your magical talents over the dinner period to guests ? 

 Thanks again to you both and speak to you soon

 Kindest regards

Dear Eugene,

Thank you so much for organising the entertainment for such a successful fundraising event for us.Your role and expertise as Master of Ceremony really came to the for in controlling such a large number of people and helping to raise such a large amount of money with the auction.

Your comparing of the Charity Evening was such fun and really helped The Puzzle Centre to raise raise a significant amount of funds for their Charity. Those present had a great time and your larger than life personality shone through.

Dear Eugene,
 
You were amazing, what a fantastic evening, please feel free to quote me  (see below):
.................................................
 
“The brethren and their guests enjoyed Eugene and his magic, it certainly made the weekend get off on the right foot – or was it the left foot?”
 
“The table magic left everyone confounded – as always – I have seen Eugene do many of the tricks before but it never ceases to amaze me – many thought they had worked out how Eugene did the tricks but were proved wrong every time”
 
“I would certainly recommend anyone contemplating something different for their Ladies Festival then look no further and book Eugene Matthias”

Dear Eugene,

What a tremendous show you and Sheila put on for us on Friday - the laughter didn’t seem to stop throughout your performance.   We have had such positive feedback about how entertaining and clever your act was.  

It was such a joy to have a longer show from you and the yellow bandana trick is so very funny thanks to your very expressive body language.  It is such a skill to keep people laughing constantly for over an hour  I imagine you must be so tired the following day!

Thank you for your kind wishes about my year as President and it is flying by.

Kind regards,

Dear Eugene


Just a quick thank you to you and your wife for appearing at the Cherry Garth event today.


My mother is a resident there and Pam, myself and my son all had a great time. (I was Tom Jones/Pocket emptier). 

​
What an amazing show, we all laughed so much our sides were hurting. 

 Plenty to talk about after the show!

 Cheers - lee

Hi Eugene,
 
Hope you are well.  I'm in the process of organising another charity ball at Piper's Corner School for the evening of Saturday 29th June. You were such a hit with everyone on the last occasion, I was wondering if you were available to come and do some more magic for us?
 
Everyone last year thought that you were amazing and your magic absolutely brilliant and I've had several requests to see if we can book you again for this year.
 
Please let me know.
 
Kindest regards,
Charlie

Good morning 

Firstly we would like to thank you, all of our guests commented how fab having a toastmaster was and how you really managed to get the crowds going! So much fun and the magic was was amazing and became a talking point for the rest of the night. 

I was so worried about the timings of the day before the wedding and feeling like we wouldn't have time to fit everything in but as you said we managed to do so even with a late start! So thank you so much helping us feel at ease and taking that stress away from us and the catering staff. 
  • Were you happy with our services? Yes we are both really happy with your services, you helped everything run to time, smoothly and effortlessly!
  • Did we managed and controlled your wedding day well? Yes this was done well and evidenced by the gaining of time after starting behind time! 
  • Did we bring a fun and laughter to the day? Absolutely yes! All of our guests have shared how fun it was to see the magic and how you got the crowds going before our entrance 
  • Did we deliver what we promised? You did indeed 
  • Are you happy to recommend us to other bride & grooms?. We would absolutely recommend you to anyone else who is getting married!

Hi Eugene

Both you and Sheila were a big help on our wedding day. You were both professional and kept everyone under control which is a difficult task when dealing with Asians!

The guests enjoyed the moments of magic and Eugene brought life and entertainment to our evening by making it fun and exciting but also keeping good control over the night.

It was a very hectic evening with lots of scheduled things to get through in the itinerary, however Eugene used his skills and experience to work with everyone to ensure it all ran smoothly and continually multi tasked throughout the event.

We wouldn't have been able to have an event like this without Eugene and are ever so grateful to both him and Sheila. 

You were much better toastmasters than what we had at our previous event who were really abrupt. Even the guests noticed the difference you made, so thank you!

Hi Eugene & Sheila

We would highly recommend you and have already passed your details on to another bride. How people get through their wedding day without a toastmaster I don't know but we honestly can not thank you enough.

You have been the highlight of the wedding, everyone has spoken about you, you took every bit of pressure away from us on the day.

​The magic was fantastic!

Thank you again

Hi Eugene,

Sorry for the delay we have been on honeymoon.

I have to say, we have had so many family and friends asking us who the toastmasters were. They thought you were both absolutely fantastic and so much fun.

I already knew I had made a very good decision going with yourselves.

I am very thankful that you really took on board how strict I was with timings and literally every single thing went on time which is amazing for an Indian wedding!!

Thank you so much for all your support on the day and I will definitely be passing your details on to any one who is looking for a toastmaster. 

Thank you so much

Good Morning to you both.
 
“Thank You!“ so much for looking after us on Ricky’s & Sheena’s wedding day, I have never had so much fun.

Knowing YOU & Sheila were there taking the pressure off us all & ensuring that the guest were enjoying themselves & being entertained was fantastic (they all loved your magic). 
 
You will be pleased to know that many of our guests have asked us for your details (please do not forget my commission Mr 5% ) or you can always train me up as your business partner!!!
 
As I said to you both on the night please feel free to drop in whenever you are in the area. Thank you so much for all your help and support on the day, it was fantastic. I have no hesitation in recommending you to other families.

Dear Eugene.

I wanted to take this opportunity to say a heartfelt thank you on behalf of Heart of England Mencap for the magnificent job you did at our fundraising Ball.

Your support throughout the whole event was fantastic – from coordinating with the hotel staff and keeping them to time through to making my guests feel so much at ease with your warm welcome. 

Your style and approach to the event helped us to achieve one of our ambitions of 'guests having ‘fun’ – the magic and communication you had with each guest before the dinner really supported this theme and the feedback I had was you were fantastic!!

 In terms of managing the auction – you were just so impressive – building that ‘competitive’ spirit with so much fun and laughter.  That was the key part of the evening and you made it happen. 

 I have received many comments about how fantastic you were, we've held other auctions and events before – this was by far the best.

I would not hesitate to recommend you to any organisation in the future and I’d be happy to share any comments with future clients.

Many thanks

Sumera & I have just come back from honeymoon. 

I want to say thank you for organising such an amazing day for us, it would
not have been what it was without you both. 

You were on-hand making sure everything ran smoothly. 

Eugene, our guests said how they loved your magic and how you controlled the timings of the event perfectly. In addition they also said how much fun you were and kept everyone laughing. 

We are extremely happy that Eugene and Sheila helped us on the day and we don't think anyone else could have done a better job than they did!

Hi Eugene and Sheila

Thank you both very much for helping it to be such a successful event. Sheila was so wonderful sorting everyone out, we didn't expect all that expertise and support! Thank you.

There were so many comments about how much fun you brought to the event.

Eugene - you did such a fantastic job effectively running the whole evening for us. You ran the Auction with so much fun and raised such an amazing amount of money and without taking too long either.  



Thanks for keeping us all on track.

Once again, thank you so much.

Dear Eugene & Sheila,
 
Shree and I would like to say a huge thank you for all of your help and amazing support throughout our wedding day and reception.
 
Even with all the organisation and preparation in place for our big day there were many problems which crept up and having a toastmaster there to sort these things out made the day flow so much more easily. I was in contact with Eugene even during my drive to the venue, to ensure the Jaan (grooms family) arrival was on time and that the brides family were ready. Eugene had welcomed the Jaan and Brides side had everything ready including the the drummers and photographers.
 
I would really like to thank Eugene for organising a photoshoot (at very short notice) in the main reception hall behind closed doors, unknown to our guests in the champagne reception room next door. I had called Eugene at 5:00pm and they had organised a route for us to sneak through the hotel back entrances and kitchens into the main hall. 

One major problem was that our cake knife was missing and although people had been informed of this, the problem had not been sorted out. Thankfully, Eugene and Sheila organised for one to be borrowed from the hotel restaurant and also organised for an ice bucket for the champagne.
 
Your presence on the day was invaluable to us and truly made our day go off without a hitch.
 
Thanks again,
 
Mr and Mrs Patel 

Dear Eugene & Sheila – many thanks for a great night!

Everybody I mingled with after the event – club members and guests loved the evening and the great show you gave us.
 
I will get some more scientific feedback at our next club meeting and get back to you
 
Once again many thanks for making our Charter a great event!
 
 Regards,

William
