When planning a wedding or prestigious event in Cyprus, every couple or host wants one thing above all else—an occasion that feels effortless, elegant, and perfectly organised.
I’m Rosie Anstey, and I am one of the very few professionally qualified lady toastmasters in the world. Based in Cyprus, I regularly travel to the UK and internationally to host weddings and prestigious events. As a Fellow of The Guild of International Professional Toastmasters, you can be assured that I have attained the highest level of accreditation in my profession as a Toastmaster. My job is to make your run seamless so you and your guests enjoy every moment.
As a professional Toastmaster, I bring structure, confidence, and calm leadership to your day. But today, many clients ask an important question:
Should we choose a traditional toastmaster or a modern toastmaster?
The answer depends entirely on your event style, your guests, and the atmosphere you want to create.
I am professionally trained in the art and etiquette of formal toastmastering while also understanding the needs of today’s modern weddings, luxury celebrations, and international events across Cyprus, the UK, and beyond.
My role is simple: to ensure your day flows seamlessly while reflecting your personality and vision.
The Traditional Toastmaster | Master of Ceremonies
A traditional toastmaster brings heritage, formality, and timeless elegance to an occasion. If you are having a formal or traditional wedding, you may want your toastmaster to look more formal.
Recognisable by the ceremonial attire, commanding presence, and polished delivery, a traditional toastmaster is often chosen for:
- Formal weddings
- Black tie receptions
- Military or Masonic occasions
- Charity galas
- Royal or civic events
- Historic venues and prestigious celebrations
Benefits of a Traditional Toastmaster
A traditional toastmaster brings:
✔ Authority and ceremony
✔ Formal announcements delivered with style
✔ Respect for protocol and etiquette
✔ Confidence when coordinating suppliers and guests
✔ A sense of occasion and grandeur
For couples who love timeless tradition, classic etiquette, and structured elegance, this style can be the perfect fit.
The Modern Toastmaster | Master of Ceremonies
Today’s weddings are often less formal, more personal, and designed around the couple’s unique style.
A modern toastmaster adapts to the atmosphere of the event while still delivering the organisation and leadership needed behind the scenes.
This style is ideal for:
- Destination weddings
- Beach weddings in Cyprus
- Villa celebrations
- Multicultural weddings
- Contemporary luxury weddings
- Relaxed but highly organised events
Benefits of a Modern Toastmaster | Master of Ceremonies
A modern toastmaster brings:
✔ Professional coordination without stiffness
✔ Warm, approachable communication with guests
✔ Flexibility with international and multicultural celebrations
✔ Natural announcements that match the mood of the day
✔ A calm, reassuring presence for couples and suppliers
The result is a celebration that feels polished—but never overly formal.
