What Clients Say…
“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 or two. 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! Thank you!!” (continue reading review)

“I had well over 50% of the people attending the wedding compliment me on my speech. What a great feeling! My daughter and new son-in-law loved it as well. When I first decided to hire you, I thought you were a little pricey, but after going through the full DEN experience, I can honestly say the fee you charge is a real value.” (continue reading review)

Why Your Speech Will Easily Be the Best of the Night…
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 create funny, warm speeches for spectacular weddings in the world's most prestigious venues…

“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)
