It is very common to feel nervous when addressing a formal gathering. I too have faced this situation several times but with a few steps, one can overcome this fear unless it is so strong a feeling that you might need help.

• Tell yourself that the people you are addressing are just like you and you need not feel afraid of them. 
• Dress in your best because it will give you great self confidence.
• Prepare notes beforehand and rehearse your speech well so that you will not falter.
