Wedding speeches
A wedding speech should feel personal, natural and well prepared. Speaking Matters helps you find the right words, shape the speech and practise the delivery so you feel more confident on the day.
Structure, pace...
Wedding speeches can be difficult to get right. You want to be warm, sincere and memorable, without sounding awkward, over-written or unlike yourself.
Speaking Matters offers one-to-one coaching for wedding speeches, best man duties and other formal wedding speaking roles. Whether you are starting with a blank page or already have a draft, Ian Brown can help you bring structure, clarity and confidence to what you want to say.
The session can focus on writing, editing, tone, timing and delivery. You can work on how to open, how to tell a story, how to avoid rambling and how to finish in a way that feels right for the occasion.
You do not need to become a performer. You just need to feel prepared enough to stand up, speak clearly and enjoy the moment.
Who this is for
This is suitable for best men, grooms, fathers of the bride, fathers of the groom, brides, family members, friends or anyone asked to speak at a wedding.
Coaching can help with nerves, structure, humour, sincerity and delivery. It can also help you avoid common mistakes, such as trying to say too much, relying on private jokes or leaving everything until the last minute.
