“Lifesaver! I was dreading having to give a speech.
It was a very collaborative process and Katelyn cared so much about getting it right and making sure I was happy with it. I felt so prepared and even surprised myself with how comfortable I was giving my speech on the actual day.
Best of all, I got tons of compliments on my speech and moved the bride to tears! ”
What is a Wedding Speech Writer?
Think of me as your panic attack antidote this wedding season.
Celebrities hire ghostwriters to transcribe their memoirs. Politicians hire speech writers to articulate their public addresses. You can hire a wedding speech writer to create your wedding speech.
My process is completely custom. No fill-in-the-blank questionnaires. No templates. I meet with every client over a video call and learn the specifics of your unique story. I analyze our conversation to understand what will make the most impactful toast and I listen to your voice so the speech is infused with your personality.
As a wedding speech writer, my goal is to reduce your stress and increase your confidence when it comes to creating your wedding speech. Your speech will be one of the few things the couple will have as a keepsake from their wedding day, and they’re likely going to rewatch you reciting your speech for years to come.
Why not work with a professional to make sure your speech is something you can be proud of and have the words you say do justice to how you feel?
How does the wedding speech writing process work?
We’ll meet over a video call where I’ll get to know details about the wedding, insights about your relationship, and an understanding of what will create the most impactful wedding speech.
After our call, I’ll write the first draft of your speech. You’ll review it and provide feedback. I’ll then revise the speech until you provide your approval. This typically only takes one to two rounds of revisions.
Lastly, I will provide you with custom public speaking tips that are specific to your speech so that you’ll feel confident when it’s your turn to grab the mic.

Common Questions About Wedding Speeches
Who gives a wedding speech?
Typically the maid of honor and best man will give wedding speeches. Additionally, one or multiple parents of the bride or groom will also give a wedding speech. For more information on wedding speech etiquette, reference our wedding toast speaking guide.
Why should I hire a wedding speech writer?
You should hire a wedding speech writer if…
You’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stressed about your upcoming wedding speech.
You’re not a writer.
You have a public speaking fear.
You’ve waited until the last minute to write your wedding speech and now it’s crunch time!
You have so many ideas and memories but you’re too close to the story to write it.
You want the bride or groom to feel special, loved, and appreciated.
How long is the speech writing process?
The ideal lead time to write a wedding speech is four to eight weeks. However, I can accommodate shorter timelines. Reach out ASAP to learn about availability.
What is the length of a wedding speech?
Most wedding speeches are between three to six minutes in speaking length. You can always write a shorter speech but try to never go longer. Otherwise, you will risk losing the attention of guests and you might interfere with other reception events such as dinner and dancing.
Can I read reviews from past clients?
Yes! Read what past clients have said on our testimonials page, Wedding Wire, and The Knot.
What makes you qualified to write wedding speeches?
I have a B.A. in journalism which means I’m a good writer but I’m even better at asking questions. This is the key to writing someone else’s story. I have a genuine curiosity to understand and analyze someone’s unique story.
After writing wedding speeches for people all over the world (literally—I’ve worked with people in Japan, Australia, England, and Canada), I know how to deliver a wedding speech that will convey the most important elements, captivate guests, and make you feel confident.
Plus, I’m a lifelong student and am continuously studying the science of storytelling and public speaking.
“I would definitely use this service again. The ease of having someone help to organize your thoughts and feelings in a speech can be intimidating, so why not let someone else do it for you?
It is well worth the money just knowing you have someone who is proficient at proofreading and putting it together so it flows smoothly. ”
