Wedding Toast Examples for the Maid of Honor

  • Welcome, everyone. I’m Danielle, the bride’s sister, and maid-of-honor. My sister is the most beautiful bride. And I should know! This is probably the 100th time she’s worn a veil. Only this time, we’re not 8-years-old, and she’s not forcing me to play the part of the groom. Still, it’s a full-circle moment to be here, and see my sister as a bride...for real this time. Though, today does feel like a bit of a fantasy. After all, she has married her prince and I have no doubt that they will live happily ever after. 

  • Shelby has the kindest heart and the most loving intentions. I couldn’t be happier that my best friend has married someone who is so deserving of her love.

  • You are my best friend. You are my partner in crime. You are my sister for life.

  • There are friends that come in and out of our life in different seasons and for different reasons. But then there are forever friends. These are the people that once they’ve entered our lives, they’re there forever. Lisa, you are my forever friend. I am so grateful for the love and support you’ve shown me, and I wish you nothing but love and support throughout your entire marriage.

Wedding Toast Examples for the Best Man

  • Colin is the guy you want by your side for any and everything because he has this way of making the most mundane moments memorable. I remember this one time he invited me over to watch baseball and grill some burgers. It sounds like a pretty normal summer Saturday, right? Not with Colin! One hour into the game, our casual Saturday turned into a college reunion with at least 30 friends piled into his studio apartment. But that’s Colin! Fun seems to find him and you can’t help but be absorbed into the party that is him. This is how I know he and Sheila are going to have an amazing marriage: he’ll keep surprising her and it will always be fun. 

  • Whether it’s backpacking through Europe, learning to surf in Costa Rica, or camping in Colorado, Ashton lives a life of adventure. I have no doubt that his marriage will be his greatest adventure yet.

  • It almost feels like you two have already been married. You support each other unconditionally, respect each other deeply, and have a love that grows with each passing year.

  • May your glasses never be empty and may your hearts always be filled.

Wedding Toast Examples for the Mother of the Bride

  • I remember when Casey was just a little girl. She adored playing dress-up with everything in my closet. She’d slip her five-year-old feet into my shoes and ask, “Do I look beautiful, Mommy?” My response was always the same: “Darling, you’ve never looked so beautiful.” I look at my daughter today and see pure love shining so brightly in her eyes. Darling, I can honestly say, you’ve never looked so beautiful.

  • Sarah, you have grown into such a smart, gorgeous, and confident woman. I am so proud of the person you are, and the partner I know you’ll be throughout your entire marriage.

  • Tamara, you always did things your own way. I admired how you bravely paved your own path and walked down it with a confidence I could only dream of possessing. You’ve found a love as unique as you, and that’s all I could have dreamed of for my lovely daughter.

Wedding Toast Examples for the Father of the Bride

  • When Becky arrived, the youngest of my children and my only daughter, I knew she was precious and special. I’ve cherished every moment being her father but this one is the best because I get to see my daughter in love and she’s never looked happier.

  • I remember the first time I held her in my arms, I looked at her sweet little face. Right then, I made a promise to myself: I will keep you safe my sweet daughter, for as long as I’m living. Well, baby girl, I’m still here and I’m still trying to keep you safe but now I’m happy to know that you have another man in your life who loves you and plans to do the same for the rest of his life too. 

  • I am so proud of the beautiful, smart, and driven woman you’ve become. I know you’ll be a wonderful wife just like you’ve been a wonderful daughter.

Wedding Toast Examples for the Mother of the Groom

  • Son, you and Nathan are similar in so many ways. You both have such a kind heart and the silliest sense of humor. But you’re also different in many ways. Throughout your marriage, remember to accept each other fully. Listen to each other’s perspectives. Respect each other’s viewpoints. You will say things you don’t mean. You will mess up. But keep showing up. Keep coming together to work things out. What matters most in marriage is what you can glean from your setbacks so you can push forward to more happiness and deeper love. 

  • From when Ted was a little boy, he was always fascinated with movies. He loved watching them, studying them, talking about them. I think it’s because he was really enamored by the everyday moments that make up our lives. Son, from this day forward, your life is going to be full of everyday moments that create the best life you could have ever hoped for and I’m so happy for you.

  • A mother’s wish for her son is to love and to be loved. Today, my wish has come true.

Wedding Toast Examples for the Father of the Groom

  • Family means everything to my wife and I. As I look at my son and his new bride, I am overjoyed to see that our two families have united today to create a new family. 

  • Marriage is all about the bond of family, and I trust that your bond together will grow with each passing year throughout your marriage. 

  • My son has brought me so much joy throughout his life. From the moment he was born to working with me in our family business, my life has been made more complete because of him.

Wedding Toast Examples for the Wedding Guest 

  • To the amazing couple, witnessing how you two love each other is an inspiration and a true honor. Congratulations to you both! 

  • I have watched Nicole grow from a wonderful kid to a beautiful woman! I couldn’t be happier for you today. 

  • May you make each other laugh when you feel like crying, may you bring each other support when you feel like giving up, and may you love more deeply than you ever thought possible.

Testimonials

Love my vows Katelyn!!!! It’s such a relief to have this out of the way so I can focus on all the rest of the stuff I need to do! 

You were my very favorite part of the process!! Your experience and confidence in the process took all the stress out of writing my vows!

— Natalie, Florida

I thought the process was outstanding. You did a great job communicating, and I thought the turnaround time for editing was perfect. I also thought the video interview was great in that it was personal and meaningful!

— Jordan

I am a storyteller, not a speechwriter. I was incredibly intimidated about writing one.

So thankful to find Katelyn to get my thoughts all in order. Very proud of how the speech came out. Looking forward to giving it!

— Jennifer Whitley, Texas

I had such a wonderful experience working with Katelyn. She truly helped mold perfect vows that I can’t wait to tell my fiancé on our wedding day! 

Katelyn was friendly, sweet, and super easy to work with. I will definitely be calling her up if I have to give another speech in the near future.

— Jordanne, California

Katelyn was professional, easy to talk to, and made the interviewing process fun. She came well prepared with unexpected and thought-provoking questions to get a better understanding of our love story and who we are as a couple.

She was a pleasure to work with and made the vow writing process enjoyable.

— Kimi Kinsey, South Carolina

Working with Katelyn on my maid of honor toast was an incredible experience. She really took the time to understand my relationship with my best friend and used my responses to craft a toast that put my thoughts and feelings into words in a way that I never would have been able to do on my own.

Before working with Katelyn, I was nervous and stressed about giving (and writing) such a big, important speech. But now I’m so relieved that it’s done, and I honestly can’t wait to stand up and tell everyone exactly what my best friend means to me.

— Allyssa, New Jersey

I didn’t actually know this service existed until I discovered Katelyn! It was such a fun experience to video chat with her about my best friend who is getting married this summer.

I don’t have to stress about writing this a few weeks before my best friend’s wedding. Thank you so much and I can’t wait to read it at my best friend’s wedding!
