What fathers of the bride say after delivering their speech…

“Everyone looked at me with pain on their face as I came up to make my speech. They obviously feared a tedious speech. I got a huge roar of laughter early in the speech and after that nothing but cheers of encouragement.” (read more)

Jeff, Texas

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.” (read more)

Steve, Illinois

“Den, I cannot tell you how thankful I am for you and your skills. You amaze me with the speech you wrote after an hour phone conversation. The first time I read the speech I thought 'He nailed that.' The name of your business very much describes the product you produce.(read more)

How to give the best father of bride speech they’ve ever heard…

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.
