Your wedding day is all about celebrating your love story with cherished friends and family. As the excitement builds, speeches become a focal point – a chance to express heartfelt emotions and raise a toast to the happy couple. But the thought of public speaking can send shivers down even the most confident person’s spine.

We want to help make your speeches as memorable – and enjoyable – as the rest of your wedding day.

Finding the Right Words:

• From the Heart: Authenticity is key. Don’t feel pressured to write a stand-up comedy routine. Share a personal anecdote that reflects your relationship with the couple. Did you witness their meet-cute? Perhaps a funny story about a shared adventure.
• Keep it Short & Sweet: Aim for 5-7 minutes. Brevity keeps the audience engaged and prevents dinner from getting cold.
• Focus on the Positive: Celebrate the couple’s love and their journey together. Avoid inside jokes that might exclude guests or any embarrassing tales from the past.

Tips for the Big Day:

• Practice Makes Perfect: Rehearse your speech out loud beforehand. This helps refine your delivery and builds confidence.
• Take a Breath: Public speaking jitters are normal! Take a deep breath before starting, and speak slowly and clearly.
• Embrace the Moment: Most importantly, enjoy yourself! Your genuine emotions will resonate with the audience.

Speech Inspiration:

• The Father/Mother of the Bride/Groom: Share a heartwarming story about raising your child and express your joy for their happiness.
• The Best Man/Maid of Honour: Highlight the couple’s strengths as individuals and how amazing they are together.
• The Couple Themselves: A joint speech can be a wonderful way to express your love and gratitude to each other, your families, and friends.

Remember, the speeches at your wedding are about celebrating a/your love story. 

Breathe, be yourself, and enjoy this special moment in front of the people who cherish you the most. With a touch of preparation and a whole lot of love, your wedding speeches will be the icing on the cake of your perfect day
