Most people would agree that public speaking isn't easy, and this is especially true when you're feeling the added pressure that comes along with giving a speech at a loved one's wedding. Not only do you have the attention of dozens (if not hundreds!) of guests you probably don't know, but you're also trying to appeal to a group of people in a wide range of ages from all different phases of the couple's lives. What's more, you want your speech to delight the couple of the hour and be as appealing to your group of friends as it to the newlyweds' grandparents. All in all, it's a tough task.

Before you panic, know that we're here to help. Ahead, we're sharing a comprehensive guide on what you should include in your speech , how to nail your delivery, and questions to consider to get the brainstorming process started—all from noteworthy speakers, well-established speechwriters, and wedding planners (who have seen it all).

Wedding Speech Template

Every great wedding speech has one thing in common: the right flow. Factor in these guidelines to help you find your own organic rhythm.

Open With a Statement or Question

Don't lead with a joke or a reference to how nervous you are. "The goal is to engage your audience, not make it a boring one-way message," says award-winning motivational speaker Jaime Pfeffer . "You'll lose them if you do this."

Introduce Yourself

After your opener, introduce yourself, says Fallon Carter , a wedding planner, even designer, and professional speaker. "A lot of times, people don't know who is speaking, and they don't know their relationship to the bride or the groom," she says. "It's really important to identify yourself, so make sure you've prepared something."

Address Your Audience

As speaker and life strategy coach Mark Black, CSP , points out, focusing on yourself only enhances nerves. "Instead, concentrate on your audience and how you want them to feel. This will help you to speak from the heart, allowing your speech to do what it's supposed to do: Make the couple feel special while also engaging the audience."

Focus on a Few Points

Seasoned speaker Susan Bender Phelps, CEO of Odyssey Mentoring & Leadership , says her top guideline is to select one to three aspects of the newlyweds that you love and appreciate, along with no more than three short stories to illustrate each of these points (or that one point). "The simple, succinct story or stories where the bride and groom are the hero will work best." This is an excellent way to structure your speech and keep your message focused.

How Long Wedding Speeches Should Be

The ideal length for a speech is three to five minutes, with five minutes being the absolute maximum you should speak for. That's it. "I’ve never been to a wedding where anyone said, 'That was a great wedding, but the best man speech was just too short and that  ruined  it,'" says David Litt , the speechwriter for former President Barack Obama and author of Thanks, Obama .

Carter agrees: "I always say anywhere between two and five minutes—and no more than five minutes," she says. "You want to keep things short and sweet." It's just as important to keep in mind when the speech will take place when determining length, since toasts are often timed with meal courses: "Be mindful of how long a course generally takes or how long it takes people to eat," Carter adds, noting that most courses last between 15 and 20 minutes and that several speeches have to fit inside each window. "If there are other people speaking, you want to be mindful and give them space."

Wedding Speech Tips

Now that you've established the right framework for your words, take note of these essential tips for acing the delivery from a few speaking pros.

Rehearse Regularly

The better prepared you are, the more confident you'll be and the better your speech will be, says author and professional speaker Barry Maher . A good rule of thumb is to practice the speech enough that you can remember the points you want to make and the order in which you want to make them. That way, you can look out to the crowd and make eye contact every so often.

Record Yourself Practicing

Use your phone to take a video of yourself practicing, suggests Kate Kenfield , speaker and sex educator. "It can be a little uncomfortable to watch yourself, but you'll be able to identify distracting mannerisms, such as the verbal pauses 'um,' 'uh,' and 'like'." It's also a good idea to practice your speech in front of someone else. "A second opinion can help you craft your piece and make it that much stronger," she says.

Don't forget body language! Rehearse the speech in front of a mirror and notice things like your facial expression, eye contact, and hand position.

Avoid Alcohol

Although it may be tempting to look for some liquid courage, alcohol definitely won't do you any favors, warns keynote speaker Amy Morin , author of 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do . "It may cause you to slur your speech and forget your lines, so wait until after your toast to celebrate," she advises. If you need a drink to loosen up the nerves or can't refrain from participating in a toast without being rude, stick to one glass of Champagne before you address the crowd.

Use Nerves to Your Advantage

A little nervousness can actually liven up your speech. "I get worried if I'm not a little nervous," says Maher. "I'll actually try to make myself a little tense to get my energy level up." The key is to harness that energy and communicate it in a positive, genuine way; tensing up to the point that you forget your words or panic won't make for a great presentation.

Be Yourself

Keep in mind that you're not putting on a show, only sharing your personal perspective. Trying too hard to force the funny can yield the opposite of the desired effect, cautions Matt Dalley, co-founder of Simply Eloped . "I've noticed that keeping it short and sweet, heartfelt and warm, and coming across as authentic and focused on the couple is something we are all capable of and generates some very wonderful moments," he says.

Never Embarrass the Newlyweds

It's a wedding toast, not a roast. While this should go without saying, keep the bachelor or bachelorette party jokes out of it, and remember that grandma and possibly a few colleagues are in the audience, notes Laurie Battaglia , a keynote speaker and workplace strategist. "It's okay to look back at childhood and refer to something funny, but ask yourself if you'd like 200-plus of your closest friends knowing that story about you."

Use Your Notes

Reading your speech straight from a piece of paper is a big no-no. However, having a couple of note cards handy is encouraged. "You're likely to be nervous, excited, and exhausted, which can make you forget your lines," explains Morin. "The audience won't care if you glance at your notes. In fact, there's a good chance they won't even notice."

Wedding Speech Brainstorm Ideas

Need some inspiration? Ask yourself these questions to get the brainstorming process going.

• Who will speak before you? After you? How will this affect the content of your toast? (Perhaps you want to include a reference to their speech, thank them for an introduction, or introduce the next speaker).
• Is there someone you should thank for making the event possible and inviting you to speak?
• What would you want to hear in this speech if you were in the audience?
• Is there a favorite story or memory that the couple would want you to share with their friends and family?

Wedding Speech Examples to Make Your Own

So, what does it look like when all these elements come together? Wedding vow and speechwriter Katelyn Peterson , owner and creator of Wedding Words , offered us three examples of successful toasts to inspire your own.

Maid of Honor Wedding Speech Example

"Hi, I’m Maya, the bride’s older sister . With Lucy being three years younger, we fell right into our respective roles as sister-rivals growing up. We constantly fought over stolen clothes, monopolizing the phone back when landlines were a thing, and what boy band to blare from the car speakers. I’m still Team Backstreet Boys while Lucy is forever indebted to NSYNC.

Looking back on those memories, I should have stepped up and granted Lucy permission to wear my favorite sweater for picture day, to hand her the phone once in a while, and to let her play, 'Bye Bye Bye.' Even I can admit that’s a good one. But despite Lucy being the younger sister, she has always been more patient, more accommodating, and more thoughtful than me. And that’s because when it comes to the people she loves, she’s all in.

She’s the one to prioritize their desires. She’s the one to compromise first. And, she’s the one to support their dreams as if they were her own. 

This is why it makes me so happy to know that Lucy has found a home in David. He matches her in compassion, thoughtfulness, and warmth. And I know he’ll spend his life prioritizing her desires, being ready to compromise, and supporting her dreams as his own.

Cheers to Lucy and David! May you always feel loved because you always put each other first."

Best Man Wedding Speech Example

"Hello, everyone. My name is Luke and I’m the best man . I met Robert eight years ago when I became his neighbor. His reputation preceded him as I had heard about the 'Block Party King' before my closing papers were inked. 

Rob has never been the guy to wear fancy clothes. In fact, I’m still in shock seeing him in that tux tonight. And he’s never been the guy to show off even though the work he’s put into his vintage Mustang could make Henry Ford himself envious.

But when it comes to cooking, he should receive an award. His pulled pork is a staple at our summer block parties and his homemade barbeque sauce has remained our neighborhood’s best-kept secret. But the most satisfying part about his delicious dishes is that there’s always plenty to go around. And Rob makes sure your plate is never empty. I have no idea how he pulls it off, but Rob has a covert ability to scoop seconds onto your plate without you ever seeing him do it. I hope you all came hungry tonight, folks. You’ve been warned! 

The first time I met Jasmine I could immediately tell she was an amazing person. She laughed at his jokes which I never thought anyone would get. She supported his career and the nonstop travel involved. But most importantly, whenever we’re all hanging out, Jasmine is the one always topping off Rob’s plate with more pasta, more chicken, more of everything. When she’s around, it’s never empty. 

And that’s when I saw what a perfect match they were for each other. I know they will always put each other first, make sure their needs are met, and will never allow the other to go hungry.

So let’s raise our glasses to toast the newlyweds! As you begin this next chapter together, may your plates and your hearts always remain full."

Father of the Bride Wedding Speech Example

"Good evening, family, and friends. I’m Daniel Lee, the father of the bride. I’d like to welcome you to this special occasion where we get to celebrate the love between my daughter Allison and her new wife, Kristin. 

Standing up here today, I’m reminded of all the moments that led to this significant one. The dance recitals that ended with standing ovations and the soccer games that concluded with winning scoreboards. 

But, while those were fun and rewarding times, those aren’t the moments I cherish most with Allison. The memories that make me smile the brightest are those in-between the big stuff moments. It’s the makeshift magic shows in our living room using a bedsheet that Allison confiscated from our linen closet to convert into a curtain. It’s the countless tea parties she hosted with exclusive invitations just for me and her beloved stuffed bear, Buttons. And it’s the way she’d beg to stay up for just five more minutes but was asleep on the couch by minute number two.

Those everyday, blink-and-you’ll-miss-them moments with Allison are the ones that gave color to my life and filled my heart with a happiness I never knew could exist.

So, my beautiful daughter, as you begin your life with Kristin today, I have one wish for you: May your warmest memories come from the ordinary moments throughout your marriage, and may those moments give you a reason to smile brighter every day. Cheers! I love you both." —Daniel

What Not to Say in a Wedding Speech

Your job when delivering a wedding speech is to keep things light—tell an anecdote, make an emotional connection, then wish the couple well before you close out. Anything that doesn't feel definitively positive should be avoided. "I would advocate against bringing up negative details, specifically past relationships or past spouses," says Carter. "Skip anything that you wouldn't want to be physically recorded and played over and over again—this is a rule of thumb."

Keep it light, delicate, and present- and future-focused, Carter adds. "If you're going to go into the past, make those stories really intentional," she says. "Bring those stories back to who they are now. Your mission is to create a great environment and vibe and to potentially give some information about one of the newlyweds, so that it's enlightening for all guests."

how to write a wedding speech dos

Someone you love is getting married, and you’ve just been asked to give a speech at the wedding. What an honor! But also, if you’re not used to giving speeches, what a nightmare! Public speaking can be scary , which is why many people prefer to avoid it. But when your bestie asks you to make a speech at his or her wedding, it’s time to rally. But now you’re wondering if you even know how to write a wedding speech! What makes some wedding speeches fun and memorable, and what makes others cringy and fall flat? We’ve got you. We’ve put together the ultimate guide for how to write a wedding speech, focusing on things you definitely should do, things you definitely should NOT do, and then how to deliver your killer wedding speech like a pro.

If you’re wondering how to write a wedding speech, here are a few “Do’s” to keep in mind.

• Start planning early
• Introduce yourself and how you know the bride and groom
• Thanks to hosts, guests, and wedding party; congratulate the couple
• Make it personal
• Think of 3 traits with 3 stories
• Talk about the couple
• Have a beginning, middle, and end
• Consider your audience
• Keep it short and sweet
• It’s okay to be simple and meaningful

1. Start planning early

If you don’t know how to write a wedding speech but the bride just asked you to give one, this is not a time to procrastinate. Public speaking is one of the number one fears many people have, so it’s likely you’ve avoided giving too many public speeches before this. And unless you’re a performer or a veteran improv comedian, you might not do too well winging this one. If you get nervous in front of an audience (as most of us do), the best defense against freezing up when you take the mic is being prepared. 

As soon as you know you’ve been asked to give a speech at the wedding, begin jotting down notes immediately. Whenever you’re inspired by a thought of the couple or remember an anecdote that might be worth retelling, make note of it. This will help to give you a pool of ideas to draw from when you start writing down the speech.

Begin gathering ideas and writing the speech a couple of weeks to a month before the wedding. You’ll need time to edit, fine-tune it, and make it concise. And as wedding showers, bachelorette parties, and other wedding festivities begin, you might find there are entertaining stories from these events you want to add as well. If you want to write it all at once, you can do that too. However, make sure to sleep on it and come back with fresh eyes. You don’t want just “okay,” you want your speech to be heartfelt and meaningful.

You will also want to begin early to give yourself time to practice and rehearse your speech plenty of times.

2. Introduce yourself and how you know the bride and groom

No matter how large or small the wedding is, it’s likely you will not be familiar with many of the guests on one or both sides. And they won’t be familiar with you either. So don’t leave them guessing! 

Make sure when you start to write a wedding speech to introduce yourself and mention how you know the couple. This will help them understand the context of your speech, which will also help it to be more well-received. 

3. Thank hosts, guests, and wedding party; congratulate the couple

It’s also courteous to take this time to thank the hosts and other members of the wedding party for all the hard work that went into the event, and to thank guests for being there to support the newlyweds, especially those who had to travel far. 

It’s also a good time to officially congratulate the newlyweds and offer them your personal well-wishes for their future. It is imperative that you don’t forget this part, because they are the whole reason you’re there and giving a speech!

4. Make it personal

Whether you are the maid of honor, the best man, father of the bride, or just a friend, you were asked to give a speech because of your close connection and relationship with either the bride or groom (or both). 

And since you know your friend as well as you do, you probably have plenty of stories to share; so the next tip for how to write a wedding speech is don’t hesitate to make it personal and share those stories! This will also help guests get to know the other half of the couple they might not know as well or are just meeting for the first time. And those guests who do know them will love hearing some entertaining stories they might not have heard yet.

5. Think of 3 traits with 3 stories

If you’re finding it difficult to come up with anything, a useful approach for how to write a wedding speech is to think of 3 positive defining traits or qualities of the bride or groom and recount three stories or examples that illuminate a time they exhibited these traits. These stories could be comedic, heartwarming, or both. Just make sure they are relevant and entertaining!

6. Talk about the couple

If you’re the maid of honor and have been chatting up the bride for the whole speech, part of how to write a wedding speech is to make sure at some point it circles around to the groom, too, and to the two of them as a couple.  

Recount the time you met him, or how you remember talking about him with the bride in the beginning stages of their relationship. If you don’t know the groom all that well, talk about how good they are as a couple and about how happy he makes her. 

And If you’re not a fan of the groom, this is not the time to air your grievances. Always keep it positive. 

7. Have a beginning, middle, and end

All good speeches have a good flow and take the audience along with it. 

Don’t let your speech fall flat or jumble together in a haphazard confusion of disconnected anecdotes. Give it the structure of an overarching theme, with a beginning, a middle, and an end. 

We are not talking about a novel here, just make sure there is a direction to where the speech is going, and that the destination, end, or sentiment is achieved. It doesn’t need to be Charlie Chaplin in The Great Dictator, but a three-act structure does help keep you grounded. Most people also follow a story easier when there is a clear direction for a story or speech. 

8. Consider your audience

The next thing to keep in mind when considering how to write a wedding speech is to make sure you consider who your audience is. 

This is not the bachelor or bachelorette party. There will be a wide range of people present from children to the elderly, and from close friends of the bride and groom to casual acquaintances and coworkers. Make sure your speech is free of any crudeness that might not be fit for such a varied audience. Also, this isn’t the time to take a shot at any of the religious cermonies.

Be considerate and keep it positive and use language everyone can relate to. 

9. Keep it short and sweet

You want your speech to be meaningful and memorable; but the wedding is not about you, and yours is not the only speech. 

No one ever complains about a speech being too short, but they do begin to grumble if it runs on too long. A good rule of thumb to keep in mind when figuring out how to write a wedding speech is to keep your speech between 2-5 minutes long. Any longer than 5 minutes and you’ll lose everyone to thoughts of cake and whether or not to Cupid Shuffle later. 

10. Add humor

Don’t be afraid to be funny! Another tip for how to write a wedding speech is that if you’ve got a lighthearted, creative, joking side, use it and add humor to your speech! Everyone likes to be entertained. 

This doesn’t mean you should scour the internet for generic wedding-themed jokes, but if you’ve got some good original material to use that helps relate a story about the bride or groom in a comedic way, do it. As long as you’re not making fun of the couple but having fun with them, jokes are great. Or you can even poke fun at yourself to illuminate a higher quality in your bestie. It’s all about making the newlyweds shine. 

If you’re creative and have other talents, use them! If you are musical, bust out your instrument and/or vocal cords and make the speech in the form of a song!

These Are the Do’s and Don’ts from a Professional Wedding Speech Writer

Updated august 17, 2024, by  linda diproperzio.

by Linda DiProperzio

Public speaking doesn’t come easily to everyone—even when you’re giving a speech at a happy occasion. In addition to standing up in front of dozens (or even hundreds) of people, you also want to make sure the toast is meaningful and memorable. And of course, those words will be videotaped for prosperity. Don’t worry, though, because we’re going to walk you through the process!

Who Gives the Wedding Speech?

The most common people asked (or expected) to give a speech at the wedding include the best man, maid/matron of honor and the newlyweds’ parents. Of course, the couple can ask anyone they choose to say a few words on the happy day.

What is the Process For Writing a Wedding Speech?

Before you start the actual writing, jot down some notes to help figure out what you want to include. An appropriate joke, a happy memory, a wish for the couple, etc. You can also create an outline to help you organize your thoughts and the flow of your wedding speech before you start putting it all together.

How Long is the Speech Writing Process?

Everyone works at their own speed, but this is something you don’t want to rush through. Even if the words flow quickly, you will want to run the toast by a trusted friend or family member who will give you honest feedback. Once you know you have your final version, take the time to practice saying the words out loud so you feel more comfortable on the wedding day. If you can memorize it, even better!

Tips for Writing Wedding Speeches

There are some simple rules to follow when writing your wedding speech. We asked Tanya Pushkine of The Vow Whisperer to share her top do’s and don’ts when it comes to crafting a speech for the big day.

Do plan early. You do not—we repeat, do not—want to start writing your wedding speech the night before. This is something you want to give thought to and practice a few times before the main event. Don’t make it too long. The best wedding speeches are short and sweet. While you might be tempted to tell long stories or a variety of inside jokes, that will only result in bored guests. Keep it to three minutes maximum!

Do introduce yourself. Not everyone in attendance will know who you are and why you were chosen to be the best man or maid/matron of honor. Be sure to explain the connection you have with the couple

Don’t be inappropriate. Stay away from raunchy jokes and stories (as Pushkine notes, grandma is in the room!), mentions of ex husbands or wives, past lovers or even past proposals, and long tales of drunken nights. It’s never funny to embarrass someone on their big day.

Do bring up a happy memory. Feel free to share one or two good recollections you have of the bride or groom (or of them together as a couple).

Don’t make it about you. Remember, this speech needs to be about the couple, so take every opportunity to shine a positive light on them. And if anything happened between you and one of the two or the couple, don’t take this time to apologize, recommends Pushkine.

Do focus on one or two themes. To keep the speech from getting too long, narrow your talking points down to one or two themes, such as when the couple met and everyone realized how great they are together.

Don’t joke about divorce. No one wants to hear the D-word at a wedding—no matter how funny you think the punchline is.

Do stick to the script. Write down your speech and keep it on hand so that you don’t ramble. One page or a flash card with bullet points will suffice.

Don’t get drunk. You might be tempted to take a shot (or two) before your speech to ease any public speaking jitters. But getting tipsy increases your chances of saying the wrong thing or simply slurring your words so that no one can understand you.

“The key to all is to practice out loud as much as possible,” says Pushkine. “This will help through the nerves of speaking in public. If you are truly terrified, do not accept to give a speech…it’s ok to say that you are not comfortable speaking in public.”

What Is A Wedding Speech Writer?

Even with these tips, the idea of writing this speech might still seem like mission impossible. That’s why there are professional wedding speech writers that can help with everything from a couple’s vows to giving a speech that guests will remember for all the right reasons.

Should You Hire a Wedding Speech Writer?

You have to do what makes you comfortable. If writing the speech is simply too stressful for you, then definitely look for a professional that can help you through the process. It doesn’t mean your toast will be any less special. After all, you’ll still be providing the memories and anecdotes that make up the wedding speech, as well as giving in on the big day.

How To Find the Best Wedding Speech Writer Service

When looking for any wedding vendor, it’s wise to ask for referrals. Find out if anyone in your circle has used this type of service and have any recommendations. If not, you can always search for someone on the Internet, but be sure to get referrals before you send over any payment or make a commitment to work with the writer.

We hope these tips helped and you’re ready to start writing! Watch real wedding videos on our site to get more inspo for your own wedding speeches.

Toast to a Memorable Wedding Day: Key Considerations When Hiring a Professional Speech Writer

It's important to know what to consider when choosing a professional speech writer.

Wedding speeches are an integral part of any wedding. As the bride, groom, or a member of the wedding party, giving a speech can be a daunting task, especially if you're not a confident or experienced public speaker. If you're feeling nervous or unsure about how to put your thoughts and feelings into words, hiring someone to write your wedding speech may be the perfect solution.

Here are a few reasons why you should consider hiring a professional speechwriter for your wedding:

Tailored to your specific needs

A professional speechwriter will take the time to get to know you and your partner, as well as your unique love story. This will allow them to craft a speech that truly captures your relationship, your personalities, and your personal values. The speechwriter will use this information to create a speech that is specific to you, and that will resonate with your audience.

Experience and Proven Track Record

When searching for a speechwriter, it's essential to find someone who has experience writing speeches for other weddings. Look for a speechwriter who has a proven track record of success, and read reviews from satisfied clients. This will give you an idea of their writing style, the quality of their work, and the level of service they provide.

Feedback and Revisions

When working with a speechwriter, it's important to be open and honest about your vision for the speech. Share your thoughts and ideas, and be sure to ask for feedback and revisions until you are completely satisfied with the final product. A professional speechwriter will be able to provide constructive criticism and suggestions to help you create a speech that meets your expectations.

Audience Insights

A professional speechwriter should be able to understand the audience, the tone and the theme of the wedding. They should also be able to provide insights on what kind of speech the audience would expect and what they would like to hear. You could give them some insights of your guests and what makes them special to you, this will allow them to craft a speech that will resonate with your audience and will be more relatable.

High-Quality Speech

By hiring a professional speechwriter, you can ensure that your speech is well-written, heartfelt, and tailored to your specific needs. This will make it one of the most memorable moments of your special day and will leave a lasting impression on your guests.

Writing a speech takes a lot of time, and it can be very stressful. Hiring a professional could save you a lot of time and make the process easier for you. This will allow you to focus on other aspects of your wedding, and to enjoy the celebration without the added stress.

Professional Language and Phrasing

With a professional speechwriter, you can ensure that your speech is free of grammatical errors, typos and that the phrasing is professional and polished. They know how to write in a way that keeps the audience engaged and makes your speech more memorable.

Hiring a professional speechwriter can be expensive ranging from a few hundred dollars to thousands of dollars. It's important to set a budget and know how much you're looking to spend.

When searching for a speechwriter, it's essential to find someone who is a good fit for you. The best way to find a speechwriter is to ask for recommendations from friends and family, or to search online for speechwriting services. Once you've found a few speechwriters that you're interested in working with, be sure to schedule a consultation to discuss your vision for the speech, and to get a sense of their writing style.

Hiring someone to write your wedding speech is a great way to ensure that your special day is even more perfect. A professional speechwriter can help you craft a heartfelt, well-written speech that truly captures your unique love story.

“We both used Wordwell for our vows and speeches. Mike tried it first and said it was excellent. I didn't expect much, though was really impressed. It's quick, sparks great ideas and ties them together in a beautiful story.”

“I struggled to find the right words for my daughter Lucy's big day. I'm by no means a natural writer and I didn't want to let her down. I stumbled across Wordwell on Pinterest and it saved the day. The app helped me write a remarkable speech that put a smile on Lucy's face.”

“Wordwell was game-changer for my best man speech. I had heaps of good stories, but they were all over the shop. The AI turned my scribble into a great first draft, then improved it based on my feedback. I made some tweaks myself and the end product was a cracker! Got some laughs, warmed some hearts and sunk many tins afterwards :)”
