The pressure is real. Your speech is one of the most high-stakes moments of the wedding.

Your speech is waiting. Let's make this your moment.
            “I had more people than I can count tell me in no uncertain words “best they have ever heard.” The wedding planner said she tunes out 99% of father speeches after the first sentence. Tonight she said she was mesmerized, beginning to end saying, 'It was the best Father of the Bride speech I've heard. Ever.” I am so grateful to you Den. You wrote, I delivered!” (continue reading review)

            “I brought down the f-ing house/excuse my French! My maid of honor speech was talked about literally all night and the entire next day. Almost every single person at the wedding (including the bride and groom) came up to me, my husband or family and said with complete sincerity that it was the best speech they have ever heard. It was a total hit and I've never been praised more for anything in my life... and I'm STILL getting texts and calls about it.” (continue reading review)

            “Super happy with Den's help on a best man speech for my older brother. The questions he asked were things I hadn't thought about which triggered a lot of memories I'd forgotten about. And the delivery strategies he provided were gold. No way I could have pulled this off without Den's help. A great time all around.” (continue reading review)

EXPERIENCE
With an M.A. in journalism and decades of speechwriting experience, I know how to get to the heart, soul and humor of your relationship with the bride and groom.
This is not a side hustle, this is what I’ve done full time since 2001. (see About)
PROCESS
This is a tried-and-true journalistic process I’ve used for many years to create funny, warm, killer original wedding speeches.
This is a speech only one person in the world can give—you. (see Media Coverage)
RESULTS
No canned lines or phony B.S. like you hear in every other wedding speech.
That means you’ll get compliments from everyone for being the one who actually cared enough to give an original speech. (see Reviews)
            Original
Your relationship with your daughter is like no one else’s. But it’s difficult to step back from years of thoughts, memories and feelings to make sense of it all.
I get to the heart, soul and humor of your relationship to create a speech only one person in the world can give—you.
            Authentic
Your voice and personality can’t be captured in canned speeches, generic templates, bland compliments and silly lines found online.
Audiences want an authentic, inside look at your relationship and will feel bored and manipulated if you try and con them with the same empty platitudes that can be said about every bride and groom everywhere. Snore.
            Organized
The greatest father of the bride speech is grounded in the fact humans have been hard-wired for story since the Stone Age.
So like a movie, your speech must grab, entertain and surprise the audience in a simple narrative structure that is more showing than telling.

I'll outline the nail your speech process and answer your questions about 
how I’ll create a kickass speech you’ll knock out of the park.
“The speech was the easiest home run I've hit thanks to you! Most important it was great fun and everyone absolutely loved it. They didn't think I had it in me (you're now my secret weapon). So I got amazing compliments all night. Thank you for all your help and for sticking with me even as I had a few questions the morning of the wedding.” (continue reading)
