Your BFF’s wedding is just around the corner. Queue the stress and anxiety as you struggle to write your maid of honor toast.
As a professional wedding vow and toast writer, I’ve seen how maids of honor can be tempted to rely on clichés and cringe-worthy quotes in their speeches.
While these trite lines feel comfortable, they don’t create an impactful impression on the bride or her guests.
Avoid these overly-used phrases in your MOH speech to achieve a more emotionally powerful toast.
Ciao bella! Planning a destination wedding or vow renewal ceremony in Italy? Then you’ll want to write personalized wedding vows that mirror the romantic setting for your nuptials.
My husband and I just took a 10-day trip to Italy for our first wedding anniversary and as a professional wedding vow writer, I was inspired by the romance that surrounded us.
So now I’m using my combined knowledge of writing wedding vows and my experience throughout wine country, to provide you with the complete guide for how to write wedding vows for your destination wedding in Italy! Prego!
In the midst of a pandemic, the wedding has been planned, replanned, and replanned again. But now it’s finally on! That also means it’s finally time for you to give that wedding speech.
But how are you supposed to deliver a speech with the COVID elephant in the room?
As a professional wedding speech writer, I’ve helped countless couples and their wedding party prepare custom and heartfelt wedding speeches in the middle of this pandemic.
When it comes to talking about the virus that has derailed so many weddings, I have a lot of opinions on how to and how not to address COVID in your speech.
Here’s my complete guide for how to write a wedding speech during COVID.
Where are my How I Met Your Mother fans? Whether you loved or couldn’t stand the highly-debated finale to HIMYM, one thing is for sure...the long-standing question of who is the mother kept us clinging to our couch cushions.
And when Ted finally did meet the mother of his children, we got to see them get married. But we didn’t get to hear their vows!
So as a professional vow writer, these are the vows I would have created if Ted and Tracy were my clients.
Suit up and enjoy reading them.
Then perhaps you can reference these vows to inspire your own. Challenge accepted?
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.

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!
— Gabby
