Our ceremony is only as good as it’s host and many people remarked that they thought it was the best year yet. I’ve never seen a host do so much homework, take such a genuine interest, and chat to everyone involved. We would work with him every year if we could.
Robin was relaxed, warm and funny, as well as incredibly well-informed and prepared; he set the tone of the evening perfectly.
