Father of the GROOM speeches
A funny, heartfelt speech that sounds like you — written with you, not by a machine.
This is a powerful moment: You've got the microphone, in front of friends and family (and more). The expectations are huge—and the audience is hoping for something that touches their hearts and makes them laugh.
This isn't the time to wing it or go up underprepared. Every word counts, and more than likely, will be on video for your son to watch (or avoid) over and over again.
Vows & Speeches helps you make the most out of your Father of the Groom Speech, keeping it tight, punchy, the right length, and with the right balance of emotion and humor.
As part of every package, we include delivery coaching sessions help you refine the presentation. This is particularly helpful for those that are afraid of public speaking, and/or prone to crying. (No judgement here - Brian tears up quickly at anything sentimental.)
Speeches are $1,150 and include unlimited revisions and three practice sessions. You'll work directly with Brian who will help you every step of the way. And if you want him to be there in Lake Como or at whatever five-star resort you're going to, that can be worked out, too. :) For full pricing, please visit our pricing page, here.

TESTIMONIALS FROM OTHER FATHERS:
Brian masterfully pulled out the stories and my emotions through his interview, and then put them into words that truly conveyed my love and feelings for my daughter. Importantly, everything came out true to my personality and the way I would talk. Between the writing and delivery coaching, I went in feeling truly prepared. I've hired him twice - for both of my daughter's weddings - and both speeches were hits. The guests and my daughters loved them. Vows & Speeches was worth every penny.
- Ted J, New Jersey
The marriage of my only daughter was a magical milestone. There were so many memories and emotions leading up to the event that I wanted to convey to her and my soon-to-be son-in-law. I found it difficult to distill these into an appropriately timed speech. Brian was incredibly helpful in getting to the essence of what I wanted to say, helping me shape my message in a very personal and meaningful way, bringing the right balance of sentimentality, humor and joy.
- Peter, Massachussets
Things must’ve turned out pretty well…. I’ve been asked to officiate a few weddings and Bar Mitzvahs!
Thanks so much for your help; I could not have done it without you!! They loved it!

Frequently

Questions REGARDING WEDDING SPEECH WRITING SERVICES
Will MY SPEECH SOUND LIKE ME?
It will sound like you, because these are your thoughts, your feelings, and your stories. We record the interview to get a sense of your voice - and later on, we'll edit to make sure you're comfortable that is represents what you want to say, the way you would say it.
How much does it cost?
We charge $1,150 - which includes the interview, unlimited revisions, and three delivery coaching sessions.
DOESN'T GETTING HELP MAKE IT LESS PERSONAL?
NO! In fact, it's the opposite. Through the interview we do, we wind up getting thoughts, feelings, and stories that many don't remember to think about on their own. These are specific to your relationship, and make it feel more personalized, more intimate, and more connected.
CAN WE KEEP THE FACT THAT I'M GETTING HELP CONFIDENTIAL?
Of course, we'll respect any request for confidentiality—but we would encourage you to feel unworried about the impression of getting help. This is an important moment - and it's still going to be you up there, saying the things you want to say. We're just helping you find the best way to do it.
I've already written some of it. will you use it?
Definitely send it to us and we'll try to use what you've done - or use it as a reference for things you want to convey. It's often the case that the interview changes the approach, but we'll take a look at it!
HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT THAN USING CHAT GPT/AI?
We don't use AI in our writing - ever - and here's why:
Chat GPT & other programs try to guess what works based on what it's consumed, but the reality is that AI doesn't actually have feelings. It doesn't know what's funny, or what's sweet,or romantic. It can't tell you what not to say - what might be slightly offensive or could be misconstrued. Most importantly, it doesn't sound original: Astute listeners/readers will see those little things that scream AI.... and then know you're the person who used it.
These are human moments that should be written by humans.
