Champagne Toast - Who is supposed to give the toast?

We are planning to have a champagne toast at a wedding but I know nothing about them. I've been to a wedding where immediate family and the entire bridal party said a toast but that seems too long for all the other guests to sit through. Who usually gives the toast? Can you have multiple people say a few words? If so, who are the top choices for saying a toast?

We are having the Maid of honor and the Best man give a toast. I told them it doesn't have to be anything extensive. Short and simple. I don't think people like to sit through a ton of speeches but in the end whatever you decide should be fine!

Traditionally the best man gives a speech, and a lot of times the MOH does as well. I would also consider if any of the parents, or you or your FH, want to say a short something. But I wouldn't do more than 3 or 4 speeches at most. I agree people might start getting bored if they go on too long lol.

I'm from the UK and traditionally we have the FoB, the groom and the Best man give speeches/toasts.
