The Best Man

Best Man Intro.jpg

One of the greatest compliments a man can pay a friend is to ask him to be best man at his wedding. It is a major role and he must be willing to commit fully to the task - the groom must think carefully when choosing a best man.

Traditionally, he organises a stag party and gives a wedding speech at the reception.  He leads the groom's party, making sure that the ushers fulfil their role and duties. High levels of organisation, communication and confidence are required.
