Wedding Speeches

Mark Riddlesdin has been a professional speechwriter for over 15 years. Formerly working as a political speechwriter within the European Parliament, his speeches have appeared numerous times on television and radio, and he is proud to number many of the current FTSE 100 companies as clients.

He is the first choice for politicians, business people and professional sportsmen speaking on the after dinner circuit; not to mention event managers, and planners responsible for many of the weddings featured in those glossy magazines.

The speeches are the only part of the reception where every guests' attention is focused on the same thing at once, and it's the only part of the day that will be remembered long after the champagne has been drunk and the confetti has been swept away. Particularly in this day and age, when the speeches are likely to be filmed, and therefore rewound, re-watched and re-lived forever...

Mark understands that the Bride may well have been dreaming about her wedding day since she was five years old. It takes place in front of everyone she loves in the world, assembled together for just one day and there is no room for second chances.

So when you commission a wedding speech from Mark, he will provide you with exactly the same level of service as he offers his political, corporate and celebrity client.

Commendations affiliate 351 has received:

"After all my worry, once I was up there I didn't want it to end. The amount of people who came up to me afterwards and said it was the best Groom's speech that they had ever heard was untrue. The coaching was invaluable. Many many thanks."

P. Williams, Groom, Feb 2007, London, UK

"I find it hard enough making conversation with people I know - so speaking in front of 150 people was daunting to say the least. My guests listened raptly to every word and my daughter was genuinely moved. Your service was everything you promised it would be. Thank you."

N. Stonewick, Father of the Bride, Dec 2006, Durban,

"I got lots of great feedback. One person told me it was the best "Best Man" speech he had ever heard! Another person told me that a good speech leaves people wanting more.....and they wanted more, so I couldn't really asked for more than that. Well worth the money!"

N. Hunter, Best Man, March 2005, Birmingham, UK
