This is a very personal thing and depends a great deal on the individual couple, the style of wedding and of course the particular toastmaster involved.
Personally I enjoy working with good toastmasters. Although I often act as MC myself for clients, I much prefer the sound of a deeper voice commanding guests' attention. It also means I can be busy with other duties, such as preparing the couple for their entrance into the wedding breakfast or helping a navigationally embarrassed band member with directions to the venue, whilst announcements are being made.
Some couples don't like the idea of the red jacket and others fear an over formal affair, but it is important to know that a good toastmaster will work with the clients to establish the level of formality appropriate, as well as keeping a check throughout the day itself on what is required. Many are also quite happy to wear black tie if this fits the occassion better.
