Wedding Speech Edit Service

“90% of the first drafts we receive suffer from the same problems – waffle, clichés and missed comic opportunities. That’s why we created this service.”
– Heidi Ellert-McDermott, founder of Speechy

It’s shockingly common for wedding speakers to miss something vital – like a groom forgetting to properly toast his new spouse, or a best man only mentioning the bride’s looks instead of saying something meaningful about her.

• 🚫 Bad: “And of course, doesn’t [bride’s name] look stunning tonight?” (She does, but that’s hardly a tribute!)
• ✅ Better: “From the moment [groom’s name] met [bride’s name], we all knew she was something special. Mostly because he started ironing his shirts and pretending to like jazz.” (Personal, witty, and actually about her!)

With our Wedding Speech Edit Service, we fill the gaps, cut the fluff, and make sure you say what matters.

We delete every tired, generic wedding joke (no, ‘marriage is a life sentence’ isn’t funny anymore) and replace them with original humour that actually lands.

• 🚫 Bad: “They say a happy marriage is all about compromise.” (Overused, vague, and yawn-worthy.)
• ✅ Better: “They say marriage is about compromise – which explains why we now own 37 decorative cushions and I’m legally obliged to watch Bake Off.” (Relatable, witty, and sounds natural.)

We find the humour in your real-life moments – so your speech gets genuine laughs, not polite chuckles.

We’re professional storytellers by trade and we want you to engage your audience from the get-go. That’s why we’ll cut back on the ‘wedding-waffle’ that can consume so many speeches.

We want you to start your speech with a bang and keep people genuinely engaged throughout.

We want your toast to be more than just a series of random thoughts & anecdotes, and make sure it’s a proper narrative.

A great wedding speech packs a punch without overstaying its welcome. The sweet spot? 900–1,300 words. With our Wedding Speech Edit, we’ll trim the fat and cut anything that weakens the impact.

• 🚫 Bad: “Sarah has always been someone you can rely on, a truly caring and generous person who will do anything for the people she loves. She’s always there for her friends, always thinking of others before herself, and she’s just one of those rare people who makes the world a better place.” (Wordy, generic.)
• ✅ Better: “Sarah’s the kind of friend who once drove 20 miles at midnight just to bring me ice cream and still apologised for it melting a bit.” (Concise, vivid, and much more personal.)

With our Wedding Speech Edit Service, we’ll make every word count.

If your speech sounds like it could be anyone’s, we’ll fix that fast.

• 🚫 Bad: “Today is a celebration of love and happiness.” (Could be said by literally anyone.)
• ✅ Better: ““Today is a celebration of two people who prove that opposites attract -one plans holidays with a colour-coded spreadsheet, the other thinks ‘last-minute’ means sprinting to the gate.”

If your speech lacks personality, we’ll ask the right questions to uncover the best stories and suddenly, your speech will feel effortless, natural, and authentically YOU.
