Who we are
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.
We do mic-drops not name-dropsbut here's just a few places we've been featured...
The ultimate speechwriting experts
Our wedding speech advice has been featured in The New York Times, The Observer, The Daily Mail, Rock n Roll Bride, The Huff Post , Dating News, Grazia and The Times. We’ve also been featured on the Drew Barrymore Show…
Heidi has even written a book – ‘The Modern Couple’s Guide to Wedding Speeches’, published by Little, Brown and endorsed by numerous wedding influencers.
We were also the wedding speech experts invited on to BBC Sounds Best Men podcast with Jason Manford and Steve Edge…
