“I purchased the speech, coaching and book for my father of the bride speech. The speech and delivery help were excellent and far exceeded my expectations. The speech was a huge hit and I received a lot of compliments, including from people I didn't even know. A friend of my daughter asked if I could give the father of bride speech at her wedding! I loved it. The book also exceeded my expectations in its quality. My daughter and son-in-law loved it and was happy to see it on their bookshelf in its box when I visited recently. I highly recommend this service because Den delivers what he promises.”

“I worked with Den on a best man speech for my older brother. His process was very simple but very effective in organizing my memories and feelings to create a speech that was 100% unique to me. The speech and humor went over very well at the wedding and my brother was shocked, especially since he was giving me so much grief about how I was going to bomb at the wedding because of nervousness. But thanks to Den I killed it! Much appreciated.”

“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.

I followed your guidelines/recommendations to the 'tee' leading up to the wedding and could not have been more happy with the results. My daughter and her new husband were floored. I don't think they ever imagined I could have produced and delivered such a 'perfect' speech as they told me. I had to fess up and let them know you helped me, 99.5% your effort so, I just had to show up and speak.

The guests at wedding were also complimentary, I don't know if that's usual, but they were sincere, and many jokingly asked if I could give their speeches for them. They too were let in on the little secret of my success! My daughter's wedding planner also took your contact information. I hope others come to you for assistance when they are in need. They will not be disappointed.

Thank you for helping me get through what I viewed as an insurmountable task. You changed my perception of the speech from fear and anxiety to a process that was fun and actually relaxing. I will be forever grateful to and for you!”

“I was a little nervous about having to give the speech of a lifetime. Den set me up and captured the essense of what i wanted to say. All his tips and recommendations made me Nail It!!!!

First rate experience”

“This is the third time I've worked with Den. And like before, my father speech went amazing! Not a dry eye in the house and lots of laughing. He also had a great recommendation on the father-daughter dance which went great! An unforgettable night all around.”

“I worked with Den on my best man speech for my brother and emailed this to him after receiving the first draft. The speech was easy to deliver and I got a ton of compliments starting with my brother and sister in law. If you need help Den is your guy.

'The first word that comes to mind is WOW! What a great speech, you captured things beautifully. It already feels very comfortable, and my confidence is strong. The edits will be minor, mostly just adding a few names. I am so happy that I reached out to you and thank you so much as I could not be more impressed.'”

“Den helped craft my father of the groom speech at my son's wedding last October. I had previously engaged Den to help with my father of the bride speech at my daughter's wedding. In both cases, Den knocked it out of the park. Not only is he a very talented speech writer, but he made it a point to take the time to get to know me so that each speech reflected MY OWN words and thoughts. Den also did a wonderful job of preparing me to deliver my speeches. I would never claim to be a great public speaker, but when I stood up and took the mike at both weddings, I was totally calm and confident and it showed in my delivery. Simply put, Den is the real deal.”
March 15, 2025 by Bruce (FL, United States)
“Den delivered a lot more than I expected. His process helped bring out memories and other things I had forgotten or would have overlooked. Throughout our work together he truly cared about putting something together that was unique and fit my personality and relationship with the bride and groom. Then his delivery tips helped me 'nail it' in front of 300 people! It was all easier than I thought it would be. I highly recommend Den's service and will definitely return for my next speech.”

“The speech was another huge hit! My kids and all the guests loved it! The bit at the end was totally unexpected and blew everyone way. I swear the laughter went on for a full minute. Thanks again for another life changing speech! Until next time, Den. Thank you.”

“This was a much more enjoyable and effective process than I expected. Den went beyond surface questions into the psychology of who I am, who my daughter and son-in-law are, and what is at the heart our relationship. The result was a speech that 100% honest, fun and warm. I've been worried about this speech for a year but pulled it off much easier and better than I expected with Den's help. I got many compliments at the reception and during brunch the next day. I highly recommend Den.”

“Hi Den! I hope that you and your family had a wonderful weekend.

Just a post-wedding update :-). On Saturday evening, I had the pleasure of giving the speech as the last speaker in front of a packed crowd at the reception, and I must say, WOW! I've never felt as confident and prepared as I did that night, and you are to thank for that! This was indeed money well spent!

The speech took eight minutes as planned, and many individuals who approached me afterward mentioned its impact on them, including my brother and new sister-in-law. There was laughter and tears. The three speeches made ahead of me were all very thoughtful and appropriate for the occasion; however, the stories and context of my remarks that you wrote indisputably established the speech as the MAIN EVENT of the reception.

I am so thankful for having the foresight to seek a talented professional who knows how to tell stories and has an impactful way with words. You gave me all the tools necessary to succeed and gave my self-esteem a much-needed boost.

For future speeches, you are my most significant asset, and im sure that is the case for many others.

Thank you so much, Den; your services and process are phenomenal!”

“Thanks to Den my best man speech was a roaring success. Can't thank him enough for his help or recommend him high enough to others. He has this down to a science and it's a very fun process. Best to you Den!”

“Den assisted me with my father of the bride speech and was fantastic. I am so grateful to him. The father of the bride speech had me stifled, both in terms of organization and content. After weeks of trying to hammer it out, I turned to Den and he crushed it for me. He was delightful to work with, flexible in terms of incorporating some ideas I had, and organized the speech perfectly. It really was one of the best experiences of my life, and I am extremely pleased with how the speech went. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to give the best possible speech for a special occasion!”

“Everything went fantastic! Not a dry eye in the house. Even the event employees came up to me afterwards and said it was the highlight of the night! Thank you very much for your help. 2nd daughter is getting married June 14, 2025. Going to need your help one more time and looking forward to it! Thanks again.”
November 9, 2024 by Trent (FL, United States)
“I have worked with Den three times over the last six years to create speeches for my all three of my daughters. And the last speech I gave Saturday night might have been the best. Boom! The speech was funny but heartfelt and surprised the audience. They loved every minute of it and wanted me to go longer. It was a great way to end my FOB duties. Den is a very talented writer you can trust to make you look like great. Highly recommend.”

“I wish you could hear firsthand the feedback I received after the Father of the Bride speech Saturday! My guess is you already know how it went but I'm still going to tell you. FANTASTIC!

I had a group of young women asked if they could hire me to speak on behalf of their dads on the occasion of their own weddings. I had a father remark that he now questions his speech, from years past, wondering if he pulled off communicating to his daughter what she needed to hear.

The best man and maid of honor also spoke and both acknowledge some trepidation following my delivery. My wife has been getting messages about the genuineness of the content. The official conducting the ceremony recognized me as the epitome of a father filled with love for his daughter. I could go on and you would simply nod your head knowingly as you've produced many masterpieces.

You are the man!”
October 10, 2024 by Jason R. (CA, United States)
“Den: I "nailed my speech" last night! Got compliment after compliment. Thank you so much for your amazing help and guidance. I'm grateful. You are truly a great coach and a true craftsman! Until next time, take care. I'll be in touch! Jason”

“The last week has been a whirlwind, but I wanted to thank you for helping me to craft the perfect speech for my lifelong friend. Julie and Carter's wedding was incredible and going into the day knowing I had a fantastic speech gave me energy all day long.

My speech went without a hitch and the feedback I received was fantastic. I cried part way through (did not expect to react so strongly when I saw Julie welling up), got a lot of laughs, but most importantly, everyone could clearly see Julie and Carter through the stories I shared. I had someone record the speech, and will share that with you, but wanted to thank you again. I feel like I was able to effectively communicate the importance of Julie presence in my life, and that was the best gift I could give her.

THANK YOU!”
September 5, 2024 by Mac (MO, United States)
“Den - I can't begin to tell you how well the speech went... I had numerous people tell me it was the best FOB speech they ever heard!! I would say out of the 190 people in attendance, at least 60 people mentioned how great it was...

Thank you so much and I will be in touch when our other daughter gets married next.

The best $750 I've spent in a long time. Thanks, again!”
September 4, 2024 by Tom (FL, United States)
“Den, you were right about the speech! I was very nervous and wanted to cut it down a little bit but I'm glad I didn't. After the first couple of sentences I wasn't nervous at all and it just flowed.

I had at least 50 or more people tell me what a great speech it was. I can't thank you enough. You do know your craft. The mic drop was a big hit and my daughter loved the speech. I would highly recommend you to anyone.”
