Writing a wedding speech.
Speech writing is not easy and writing a wedding speech is even more challenging. So we’re here to relieve your pain and ease your worries by writing a memorable speech for you. With your personalised input, we'll write your wedding speech quickly and professionally.
You could spend hours trawling through the internet trying to cut and paste your speech, inserting jokes here or there. However, a copied speech won’t have your voice and it will be easy to tell that the words aren’t your own. Don’t you think the bride or groom who chose you, deserve an authentic and heartfelt speech?
A wedding speech should be an intimate expression of your feelings. Your wedding speech should be unique and personal. We’ll help you craft a wedding speech that is tailored by and written for you. And don't forget, our wedding speech writing service is completely confidential - no-one will ever know you didn't write it yourself!
“I would like to tell you that the Father of the Bride speech you wrote for me connected so well with the guests that at the end I had a rapturous applause. But the best moment for me was when my daughter said to me - Dad that was a great speech. Carole, thanks for writing me such a beautiful speech.” Mark R.

How Can We Help You?
Given that you’re speaking of people you know and love, you already have an idea of what you want to include in your wedding speech. Funny stories and tasteful jokes are the parts of the speech that only you can provide; we help you incorporate them into a memorable speech. If you’re having sleepless nights and don’t know where to start, or finish, we take away all the hassle by providing you with a uniquely personal speech.
Traditional Wedding Speeches
Years ago, it was traditional for only the Groom, Best Man and Father of the Bride to make a wedding speech. The idea of three speeches being given by three men has become a thing of the past. Maids of Honour, Bridesmaids, and Mothers of the Bride or Groom now deliver wedding speeches.
A Wedding speech should involve and excite the audience, not put them to sleep! Speeches can be put to music; they can include stories from the past and be brought to life with pictures. The choices are endless and there is a great opportunity to be creative and deliver one of the best wedding speeches a guest has ever heard.
It’s very easy to get emotional at a wedding, but your wedding speech isn’t the time for tears. Remember, you aren’t speaking to just the bride and groom, you’re there for the guests as well.

We had a wonderful wedding last month and my father of the bride speech went down brilliantly and I received loads of compliments. I can't thank you enough for your help. I have to say I was unsure of coming to you at first, but I am so delighted that I took the plunge and did so.
Absolutely perfect. We got married last month and my wedding speech is still the ‘talk of the town’. My bride was proud of me, my parents couldn’t believe their ears, and I think my in-laws were rather impressed! Thank goodness I found you. The wedding speech you wrote for me was exactly what I wanted to say. I can’t thank you enough. You took all my stress away!

“Thanks for all your help with the speech, it went very well.”
It really all worked out beautifully. Thanks for your help.
Everyone commented on what a wonderful speech it was. I think it was a lovely mixture of real heartfelt emotion with great splashes of humour. I can’t thank you enough for all your help.
The speech went incredibly well, we got loads of laughs and so many compliments afterwards. Definitely a success – thank you!
Thank you for all your help. It went very well. I had a lot of people come up to me afterwards and congratulate me on a speech that was emotional, funny, and enjoyable to listen to. A couple even said it was the best FOB speech they had heard!
The speech went down a treat! They really enjoyed it, thanks for helping me refine it; it most certainly helped
Before I came to you I had absolutely no idea how I was going to pull this off! The speech was absolutely perfect. Waiting to deliver it was like when you buy someone a really good present and can’t wait for them to unwrap it. The speech got all the laughs in the right places and even brought a tear to both the bridesmaids at the end. Thanks again and I’m going to push some of my other friends toward marriage just so we can work together again and I can feel that moment of delivering a great speech.
Thank you very much for your help which gave me so much confidence when I delivered my Father of the Bride speech. It was warmly received by everyone, getting laughter and applause at the appropriate time… it completely overwhelmed me.
Thanks for all your help and advice. The speech we finished up with was 100 times better than what we started with. The stories were the same but the delivery was so much better thanks to you.
The speech turned out great – everyone was really impressed and some people even said it was the best wedding speech they had ever heard! Thanks so much for all of your help – I couldn’t have done it without you.

“MY GOODNESS.!.!.! Fantastic! Now I know why you guys do this for a living.!.!.!. I did think it would be good but this has blown whatever I imagined for my wedding speech out the water.” – Rich C.
The internet is full of wedding speech templates and cut-and-paste jokes. We are proud to use none of them. Every wedding speech we write starts with a blank piece of paper and is based entirely on information you provide (face-to-face, over the phone or via email). We are also delighted to give our feedback on a speech you have already written, and happy to edit it as required.
A generation ago, the speeches at a typical wedding were often restricted to the groom and a friend of the bride’s family (often a Godfather). Now, the father of the bride, groom and best man will almost always speak, and there may be more!

The Art of Wedding Speech Writing
- 12 December
Home » Wedding speech » The Art of Wedding Speech Writing
Giving a wedding speech can be a daunting task. As you stand up to address the happy couple and all their family and friends, you want your words to be meaningful, entertaining, and memorable. Mastering the art of wedding speech writing takes thoughtfulness, creativity, and an understanding of what makes an impactful speech. Some speakers even enlist professional help from a top-notch essay writing service UK to help craft an outstanding tribute to the newlyweds. In this comprehensive guide, we will walk through the key elements for crafting inspiring nuptial remarks.
What you can expect in this article:
Getting Started: Setting Yourself Up for Success
When you are asked to give a wedding speech, it is both an honour and a responsibility. Your role is to capture the occasion’s significance with wisdom and warmth. Thoughtful preparation is paramount to creating a speech that truly touches the hearts of all who hear it.
Here are some tips to get started.
Choose a peaceful time and place to write when you can immerse yourself in the process without distractions. Clear your mind and connect with the love surrounding the bride and groom. What wishes do you have for them? What memories or adventures do you want to highlight? Capture any initial thoughts in a notebook or speech outline draft. This will give your creativity momentum when you are ready for the actual writing.
Do your research if you need more context around the couple. Talk to family and friends to hear their favourite stories or fondest memories. Get a sense of the history of the relationship, meaningful places or events, inside jokes, and hopes for the future. Integrating these personal details will make your speech more meaningful.
Finally, spend time reflecting on your role in the lives of the bride and groom. How did you meet them? What have you admired over the years? What advice or encouragement do you want to offer as they start their marriage? Convey your authentic connection through sentimental examples.
Crafting Your Content: Key Elements to Include
Once you have gathered memories, messages, and well wishes to share, it is time to craft them into a cohesive wedding speech . While each one will vary based on your unique relationship and perspective, these elements make a memorable narrative:
The Introduction
Get the audience’s attention with a thoughtful opening line then welcome and thank everyone for celebrating with the couple today. Feel free to be humorous, sentimental, or surprising depending on your tone and relationship.
Expression of Affection or Admiration
Share what you most admire or appreciate about the couple. Highlight their personalities, quirks, accomplishments and growth together over time through thoughtful stories and examples. If you need help capturing these precious memories, consider hiring one of the best affordable essay writing services to interview the couple’s friends and family and transform their recollections into a moving speech. This can elicit laughter or happy tears.
Well Wishes for the Marriage
Offer heartfelt advice, encouragement, hopes and blessings for their future together based on what you know of the couple. This builds excitement for their next chapter. Consider weaving in scripture, poetry, or quotes if appropriate. The possibilities are endless!
Toast to the Couple: “ And now, let’s raise our glasses to Johnny and Susie! We love you and wish you a lifetime of happiness, adventure, and unity together! ” (Cue the champagne.)
Personalising Your Speech: Making it Memorable
Once you have covered the key sections, it is time to add stylistic flair. Personalize your speech using the following literary techniques:
Playful Word Choices
Pepper in alliteration, rhymes, creative descriptions and even made-up words to describe this one-of-a-kind couple. These playful phrases stick in people’s minds long after the celebration.
Thoughtful Structure
Alternate between long, complex sentences brimming with colorful details; and short, simple declarations that pack an emotional punch.
Surprising Comparisons
Challenge your audience to see the bride and groom in a whole new light. Compare their quirks to favourite movies, nature metaphors, and heroic archetypes…let your imagination wander.
Ultimately your distinctive expressions and phrasing choices should reveal your genuine affection while touching the wider realm of human connection. Master speech writers understand this ability to weave the personal with the universal.
Pulling It All Together: Refining Your Final Draft
You have written a heartfelt, thoughtful speech brimming with personal touches. Now it is time to polish it into its best form.
Read Your Speech Aloud
You may discover awkward phrasing, too much repetition, or confusing transitions when you hear it out loud. Refine anything that sounds off.
Time Yourself
Use a timer and aim for your speech to last 3-5 minutes maximum. This ensures you highlight the most meaningful moments without dominating the reception. Adjust the length as needed.
Memorise Your Content
While you can carry your printed speech as a backup, memorizing it will help you deliver it smoothly while making eye contact with the newlyweds. Use memory techniques and practice often before the big day. When the words come directly from your heart, their impact amplifies.
Add a Meaningful Gift
Consider presenting the couple with a personalised gift at the end representing your good wishes – a scrapbook of your shared history, a symbolic plant to watch grow, custom artwork capturing their personalities, etc. This tangible memento makes your speech even more memorable.
When your content feels meaningful, your phrasing rolls lyrically off the tongue, and your delivery channels sincerity they will feel deep in their souls – you have truly mastered the art of wedding speech writing. The bride and groom will remember and cherish your poignant words for decades to come. That is the gift that keeps on giving.

Matt Owen Freelance Writer
[email protected] 07892 669245, wedding speeches, need help with your wedding speech.
One of the highlights of any wedding day are the speeches. However, it's also an incredibly hectic time for those involved and finding time to write that touching, witty and memorable speech can seem a bit daunting. Which is where I come in...
So, to avoid writing your speech on the back of a napkin during the pudding, why not let me take the reins, and I can take all the pressure off you? I can even give you tips as to how best to learn and deliver the speech.
The process is simple. You can either email or call me, and we can discuss what kind of speech you're looking for. If you wish to go ahead, I will then send you a questionnaire which is designed to get all the information I need to write your bespoke speech. When filling in the questionnaire, the rule of thumb is simple. The more information, colour and stories (not all of them have to be embarrassing!) I am given by the client, the more I can work with.
A bit about me - I've been working as a freelance writer for over 23 years, and writing wedding speeches for the past six years.
As a professional writer I've worked with comedians such as Al Murray, Jimmy Carr, Lenny Henry, Joan Rivers, Jason Manford, Matt Forde and many more. I've also worked on numerous TV shows, including Danger Mouse (He's asked me to write his best man speech when Penfold meets the right hamster).
Wedding speech prices
Best man - person of honour , groom - celebrant , bride - celebrant , father of the bride - parent of the celebrant, after dinner speeches, need help with your after dinner speech.
If you need an after dinner speech or help to edit an existing speech you've come to the right place.
If you're someone who needs their after dinner speech to be beefed up or someone who's never done it before I can help. Whether your audience
is corporate or perhaps you're speaking at a sports dinner or an awards ceremony I can make your life that much easier.
Sit back, and let me take the strain and you can take all the accolades. No one ever need know you didn't write it yourself.
After Dinner Speaking (Corporate, Awards Ceremonies) Between £400 - £2,000

“For someone well into his middle age and who has never had to give an after dinner speech the thought of this was quite daunting. However I shouldn’t have worried. With the help of Mathew in structuring the speech what could have been an overwhelming occasion was made almost relaxing” - Mike
"Matt was great at molding and adapting the speech to the occasion. He helped take the stress out of it and gave me confidence that everything would go well on the day." - Robert
"Matt is one of those people that can take the most muddled of mundane and turn it into a story - from a chat over a cup of tea on a Sunday morning he produced the most amazing of father of the bride speeches - funny, touching and memorable - yet made it sound as if it were written by the Father of the Bride himself.
His ability to pick put small details and tease out a story from an emotionally repressed northerner was so very much appreciated - except maybe by the Best Man who followed afterwards with a far too long, ripped from the internet repost, delivered badly ...
If I needed the help of a thought straightener/mind mining speechwriter again I would go straight back to Matt - whilst the line about the 'middle class mafia hit' didn't make it into the final version (for proprieties sake) I still cant go past a Waitrose without chuckling." - Andrew
"Thank you very much for a fantastic speech! So witty, I'm so happy with it" - Alex
"Wow! It's superb, I love it and grateful for the quick turnaround." - Gareth
