About Us

The Speechy team are writers with credentials.

Between us, we’ve written for a range of BBC comedy programmes, appeared on TV comedy panels, written TV scripts for a fair few celebs including Richard Hammond and Sharon Osbourne, and ghostwritten for high-profile comedians. Oh, and a couple of politicians too!

We joined forces in 2015 to help couples, and their friends and family, deliver a better class of wedding speech. The idea developed after Heidi delivered a bride’s speech that got more compliments than her overpriced dress.

We’ve now helped thousands of happy clients around the world and we’re chuffed to say we have an ‘Excellent’ Trustpilot rating.

Broadcast Quality

We apply the same production values to every wedding speech that we do to producing prime-time BBC telly. If seven million people wouldn’t series-record your speech, well quite frankly, it’s not good enough.

Story Hunters

We put good story telling at the heart of every speech. It needs to be more than a few funny anecdotes and a thank you list. We help you discover #whatsyourstory and get people excited about it.

Cliché Killers

We ditch the outdated etiquette and clichéd platitudes that leave guests checking their phone under the table. ‘Soulmate’ is one of the words on our banned list.

Funny Farmers

We’re organic farmers when it comes to our humour. We find people’s lives funny enough without resorting to wedding jokes even granny’s heard before.

Get in touch

Give us a call if you want to find out more about how we work, the services we offer and our DELIGHT GUARANTEE.

We love a natter and we hate salespeople too (unless you are one).
