Premium Delivery Coaching

Every speaker comes with their quirks. Some rush through their words like they’re speed-reading, others freeze up, and a few sound like they’re giving a quarterly sales update instead of a heartfelt toast. In our wedding speech delivery coaching, we’ll zero in on your personal delivery style and help you shape it into something authentic, natural, and memorable.

Maybe you want to sound warm and heartfelt, maybe you want to nail comic timing, or maybe you simply want to stop your knees shaking and your voice wobbling. Whatever your goal, we’ll develop a toolkit of techniques to get you there.

Prosody is the magic that makes a speech sparkle. It’s your pitch, tone, and rhythm working together to turn words into something musical. Research shows that vocal variety directly increases how persuasive and likeable an audience finds a speaker.

If you’ve ever worried you sound monotone, you’re not alone – many people do.

That’s why in our sessions we’ll experiment with pace, tone, and emphasis until your delivery feels expressive and dynamic. Prosody is what makes a joke land perfectly or a heartfelt line bring tears. It’s also what separates a forgettable wedding toast from the one guests talk about for years.

Rushing through a speech is the classic sign of nerves.

Unfortunately, it also means your best jokes and most moving lines fly past without landing.

On the flip side, dragging things out can make you sound robotic, like you’re reading a script for the first time.

In our coaching, we’ll help you discover your natural rhythm and show you how to vary it to keep your audience engaged. Crucially, we’ll teach you the art of pausing because silence, when used well, is one of the most powerful delivery tools you have. A well-placed pause before the punchline, or a moment of quiet after an emotional declaration, can elevate your speech from good to goosebump-inducing.

Your words matter, but so does how you inhabit the space while speaking. Research from UCLA suggests that more than half of communication is non-verbal. That means your posture, gestures, and facial expressions will do almost as much work as your actual speech.

In our wedding speech coaching, we’ll explore how to stand tall and grounded, use your hands naturally (instead of flailing like an air traffic controller), and employ facial expressions that amplify humour and warmth.

For example, a well-timed eyebrow raise or grin can get as big a laugh as a witty line. We’ll help you align your body with your words so your performance feels relaxed, confident, and charismatic.

The difference between speaking at an audience and speaking to them is eye contact. And no, it doesn’t mean staring uncomfortably at one guest until they squirm. It means connecting with different parts of the room-your partner when you say “I love you,” your parents when you thank them, and the friends at the back when you deliver that killer joke.

In our sessions, we’ll rehearse how to naturally sweep the room without looking like a tennis umpire, and how to make your delivery feel like an intimate conversation even if there are 150 people watching. It’s about warmth, sincerity, and connection because the best wedding speeches feel like they’re spoken with people, not at them.
