Deliver the best, most unexpected father speech they’ve ever heard—without the stress.

Hi… I’m Father of the Groom Speechwriter & Strategist Den Pope.

You only have one shot to nail this speech.

But brides, grooms and audiences are tired of do-it-yourself wedding speeches pieced together with generic templates… dull, rambling stories… canned, one-size-fits-all lines… phony AI… and other silliness pulled off Google they’ve all heard before. Snore.

I’ll help you shock, surprise and thrill everyone with a completely original speech that is funny, warm and unforgettable.

I founded Nail Your Speech 20 years ago and have seen again and again how a kickass father of the groom speech becomes an event game changer.

Be the father who cared enough to give his best in a fun, warm, original speech.

And enjoy the compliments from everyone.

Jeff, Texas

“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)

Michael, Colorado

“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-long phone conversation. The first time I read the speech I thought “He nailed that.” The name of your business very much describes your talent and the product you produce.” (read more)

Steve, Illinois

“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)

Tom, Florida
