5 Really Good Reasons to Hire Someone Else to Write Your Wedding Speech

At the end of the day, it’s all about the happy couple, and you’re going to want to feel like you honored them with a killer speech. If you don’t think you’re capable of mustering up a three minute toast, bring in the pros to make it happen. The newlyweds trusted their vendors to orchestrate the big day, so why not call in the experts yourself if you need to?

Listen, not everyone has the gift of gab—and that’s okay! You may know exactly what stories to tell and how you’d like the audience to react, but you might need some help streamlining your mix of back-when-we-were-teenagers nostalgia with some sentiments about the newly minted couple and their perfection together today.

The “I’m busy” excuse rarely holds up, especially when you’re on maid of honor or best man duty. That said, if your schedule is really too crazy to squeeze in some speech-writing and you’ll be reduced to scribbling it out on the morning of the wedding, hungover from the rehearsal dinner, and already sipping on mimosas, you need to get your game plan in place way in advance.

You’re stressed enough trying to get up the nerve to take the mic and make magic happen. So, hiring a speechwriter can alleviate some of the anxiety. Companies like Oratory Laboratory also do their homework and can have you in for some practice sessions before the big day. That way, when you’re called up to deliver your toast, you’re cool as a cucumber and ready to rock it.

At some point or another, we’ve all born witness to pure poetry coming out of the least savvy speech givers. We’ve all wondered how they could put their hot-mess-express persona on hold. Well, Loverlies, we think we’ve cracked their code… So, would you say yes to the wedding speech whisperer??
