Bride speeches
Bride speeches are a recent addition to the traditional set of wedding speeches.
Some Brides elect to make a speech alongside their new husband, while others prefer to wait until later in the reception, and surprise their guests by taking the microphone.
Either way, I love writing Bride speeches, as Brides have a free hand to speak about whatever they wish. Some Brides chose to deliver a funny speech like the Best Man, and other prefers a more low-key approach.
Whatever you decide, I will talk you through your options, and provide you with a witty and original Bride speech that covers all of the topics that you want to raise, in a manor that is completely tailored to suit your own personal style of delivery.
If, however, you are happy to sit this one out, but you dread to think what the Best Man is going to say, I may be able to help in a section called The Curse of The Inappropriate Best man.

Bride Wedding Speeches - FAQs
Bride wedding speeches are a relatively new addition to the traditional set of wedding speeches, mainly because wedding etiquette stems from the 18th Century where Bride wedding speeches would never have been accepted. Fortunately, times have changed and each year an increasing number of women with a wedding on the horizon contact me about Bride wedding speeches.
Bride wedding speeches are a personal favourite of mine. Free from audience expectations, Bride wedding speeches can take whatever form my client wishes.
Some ladies ask me to write them humourous Bride wedding speeches, whilst others request brief, sincere Bride wedding speeches.
The benefit of hiring a professional speechwriter to assist with Bride wedding speeches is that I will work with my client until they feel completely comfortable with their finished speech. I do find that many women ask me the same questions when they first contact me about their Bride wedding speeches so I hope these FAQs are helpful.
Bride wedding speeches - when do they get delivered?
The short answer is anywhere, although I recommend that if people want to deliver their Bride wedding speeches after the meal then they should speak after their fathers and immediately before the Groom.
Many women opt to deliver their Bride wedding speeches at some point during the evening reception.
Bride wedding speeches - Etiquette
Bride wedding speeches don't have any formal etiquette requirements but Brides often request that I include material thanking their parents for their support.
Bride wedding speeches - Subject matter
Again, there are no definitive answers, but many clients request that I include material in their Bride wedding speeches concerning how they met their husband and also many ask me to recount a few anecdotes about their bridesmaids. If, however, my clients are still uncertain about the subject matter for their Bride wedding speeches then help is at hand.
The first thing I do when agreeing to write Bride wedding speeches is to send my clients detailed questionnaires to gain a sense of the occasion- the audience, venue and so on. The information supplied in the questionnaire will provide an answer regarding the subject matter of their Bride wedding speeches.
Bride wedding speeches - Concerns about the Best Man speech?
I understand that some women are less concerned about the content of their own Bride wedding speeches than what the Best Man will reveal in his speech.
In a hidden page on this website, accessible only from the Bride wedding speeches section, entitled 'The curse of the inappropriate Best Man' I detail how, as well as writing Bride wedding speeches, I can also draft a Best Man's speech which the Bride knows won't be offensive or inappropriate. The Groom then offers to 'treat' the Best Man to a professionally written speech under the guise of helping to relieve his burden.
Bride wedding speeches - Delivery coaching
As a professional speechwriter, I provide exactly the same high standard of service for Bride wedding speeches as I offer my corporate and political clients. So I thought it might help if I listed the delivery coaching options I provide for Bride wedding speeches.
Bride wedding speeches - Silver option
If clients request the 'silver' option for their bride wedding speeches, then I continue to work on their bride wedding speeches until they are completely satisfied with the end result. I will also listen to them deliver their bride wedding speeches over the phone or via webcam and give them delivery advice. For the majority of my clients who request bride wedding speeches this is sufficient to ensure they are fully confident with their delivery.
Bride wedding speeches - Gold option
The gold option for Bride wedding speeches entails my client's meeting with me to go through every aspect of their delivery. Most clients require just a couple of one hour sessions but for the fixed fee of £100 but as with the other aspects of my service I am happy to work on my clients Bride wedding speeches until they are completely happy.
If my clients are:
- Particularly concerned about the delivery of their bride wedding speeches (They may have no experience of public speaking), or
- Suffer from anxiety over their bride wedding speeches
Then I recommend that they chose the gold service option for their bride wedding speeches.
