This is fun, easy process for you get a killer original speech that you’ll knock out of the park without stress and nervousness.
STEP 1:
After booking your speech you’ll immediately receive an order confirmation then a separate email from me with a few quick questions about you, the bride and groom to get us get started.
STEP 2:
I’ll send you a discussion guide for you with a few simple but thought provoking questions about the bride, groom and your relationship. These questions will have you thinking about the bride and groom in a way you haven’t before. You’ve been too busy living and enjoying life with them to have to step back and ponder the big questions you need to in order to create this speech.
STEP 3:
After you complete your discussion guide, I'll schedule a call with you to go a little deeper on some of the information. Our conversation will be totally casual and take at least an hour. In addition to gathering information, I want to get to know your personality, values, character and sense of humor.
STEP 4:
I’ll write the speech in your voice and personality. This is critical and means the speech will be easy and comfortable for you to deliver.
STEP 5:
I'll send you the speech and ask you to read through it out loud to yourself a few times. I'll add or refine anything until every word is exactly what you want to say.
STEP 6:
Depending on which speech package you choose we'll also crush nervousness and address any other issue standing in the way of you crushing your speech and making this one of the best experiences of your life.

After earning a B.A. in communication studies and an M.A. in journalism on scholarship, I began my career in marketing agencies creating strategy and writing ads, films, speeches, books, websites and other materials for Fortune 500 companies and global nonprofits.
CEOs and other executives at client companies would often ask me to write a wedding, eulogy or other speech. These execs were also typically nervous about delivering their speech.
And there is a strong emotional component to social speeches where, for example, a father is speaking to his daughter or a maid of honor is honoring her big sister.
I enjoy helping people who are under pressure, short of time or doubting their abilities nail their wedding and other social speeches.
A little more here. Among every other speech imaginable, I also write eulogies here.
