Will your wedding speech be up to the standard of the rest of the wedding?
Trust us to help you to become a polished and relaxed speaker through our professional, friendly and carefully structured services.
It is easy to be overwhelmed
Weddings take an enormous amount of time and effort to plan every tiny detail, ensuring that everything will be just perfect. Weddings these days don’t come cheap either. We are all aware of the endless shopping list for wedding “essentials”; the photographs, the flowers, the dress, the cake, the cars, and the most expensive item – the reception!
All of this can make the challenging task of writing and delivering a speech that you will feel proud of even more daunting.
Up until now, other people in your situation have had to rely on books and advice from well intentioned amateurs; doing the best they can under the circumstances.

Understanding your situation
Speakers have been known to resort to heavy drinking, staying up all night and even experiencing severe physical reactions due to the difficulty they find in preparing and delivering a speech on such an important occasion.
For many the prospect of having to stand up and speak in front of all their friends and family can totally overshadow and spoil what should be a very happy time.
Even the most accomplished can find that they struggle through having to share a platform with the less experienced who steal their thunder by telling stories and jokes they had planned to use.
Surely you care enough about the speakers at your wedding to ensure that they benefit from the best professional support available.
The Champagne Words Team is here for you The Champagne Words Team from The Speaker’s Friend is made up of professionals who can really help transform these experiences into ones which are both enjoyable and rewarding for all concerned. It’s as easy as 1-2-3! 1-2-3 is our simplest package service. It provides a programme of 3 full coaching sessions of between 1-2 hours each leading up to the big day. Step 1 - Kick-off (6 -8 weeks prior to the wedding) At this session, one of our coaches will work one-on-one with you to gather your thoughts and ideas to create a truly personal theme for your speech. Your coach will also help you consider the best ways of delivering your speech to suit your own personality. Step 2 - Progress Review (3-4 weeks prior to the wedding) This session sees your speech really start to take shape. Your coach will review its content and assist you in crafting a natural flow. It is also usual for our coaches to help speechmakers overcome one or more of a whole range of difficulties at this stage. By dealing with problems at this stage (a month before the big day), there is still plenty of time to get dramaticly improved results. It is much better than trying to do this during the week of the wedding or, worse still, the night before! Step 3 - Rehearsal (During the week of the wedding) We now work with you on the delivery of your speech, fine tuning and polishing it. This will ensure that you are confident, and that you are capable of delivering your memorable speech, panic-free to the delight of both youself and all of the guests.
