Because some moments—and some words—deserve to live forever.
A great wedding speech is an event game changer.

How It Works
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 started.
2. I’ll create a discussion guide for you with a few simple but deeper questions about the bride, groom and your relationship. These questions are going to have you thinking about the bride and groom in a way you haven’t before so we can get at the heart of values, character and personality of the bride and groom through your eyes.
3. After you complete your 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.
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.
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.
6.You’ll receive The Field Guide to Nailing Your Speech, a straightforward, 15-page PDF book with valuable tips and strategies for reducing fear, using microphones and other important issues to ensure you’re cool, comfortable and ready to crush it on wedding day. This is going to be easier and more fun than you think.
7. You select the photos you want included in your gift book along with the full transcript of your speech and wedding details (venue, number of guest, etc.). Ideally at least 3 photos will be from the wedding, including one of you delivering the speech for the back cover of the book.
8. I’ll layout the book and send you PDF files for your approval to print. The book generally arrives in about two weeks. The book will be packaged in a custom made black box with the initials of the bride and groom on the cover and a red looped ribbon to help lift the book from box. This black box is inside a larger, high-quality white box with magnetic closures and celebratory tissue paper. Click HERE to see the book and packaging.

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.
