Wedding Speech Development and Tuning.
Want to give a way better speech than the rest of the wedding party?
Have the bride’s uncle asking who you are.
Let’s work together to develop a wedding speech far more compelling than the one you were going to tell about that time you had a sleepover in the sixth grade.
Or we can make that sleepover more interesting.
Suggested cuts/additions to a speech you’ve already written (and work to hit a desired runtime)
Word choice and paragraph structure suggestions

Reviews
“Family still talks to me about what a good speech [Riley’s] was.”
- Sam Mercier, Groom
“Very helpful! I think it was well written and added some symbolism to the theme.”
- Matt McGraw, Officiant
“Riley’s input was exactly what I needed. He’s got a way with words and knowing how the crowd will react.” - Billy Bjork, serial Groomsman
“Practicing my speech with my girlfriend before working with Riley, she’d nod and smile. After, it felt like I was doing stand up. She laughed even the third time we practiced.” - Mark Meagher, Best Man

In depth structure analysis and feedback
We write the thing together (but I do all the hard work), beginning to end. We start with a video chat to collect stories and discuss possible themes, cadence, and the funny:weepy scale. From that material, I get to work on drafting a speech to fit whatever timeframe you want. You review the draft, we have another chat, and I finalize a speech tailored to you and guaranteed to make you a hit at the wedding.
