Wedding & Occasion Coaching

The speech is written. Now let's make sure you deliver it.

Best man, groom, father of the bride, maid of honour, or a eulogy you want to do justice. I'll help you calm the nerves, master the delivery and speak like the best version of yourself when everyone is watching.

What coaching does for you

  • Calms the nerves. Practical techniques to steady your hands, your breath and your voice.
  • Fixes the delivery. Pace, pauses, eye contact and timing, the things that turn good words into a great moment.
  • Lands the jokes. We rehearse the laughs so they actually land, and the emotional beats so they hit home.
  • Builds real confidence. By the day, you won't be dreading it. You'll be ready for it.

How it works

  1. Book a discovery call. A quick, free chat about your speech, your date and how you're feeling about it.
  2. We choose the right option. Delivery only, write and deliver, or the full confidence programme.
  3. We rehearse together. One to one, until it feels natural and you can't wait to stand up.

Wedding coaching questions

I already have my speech written. Can you just help me deliver it?

Absolutely. The Speech Delivery Session is built exactly for that: we rehearse what you have and get it sounding confident and natural.

I'm terrified of public speaking. Is that normal?

Completely normal. Around three in four people fear it. That fear is exactly what I coach people through, and it's very beatable with the right preparation.

How far in advance should we start?

The more time the better, but I regularly help people in the final week. Tell me your date and I'll let you know what is possible.

Are sessions online or in person?

Online by default, so we can work together wherever you are. In person sessions can be arranged on request.

Can you also write the speech for me?

Yes. That is the Write plus Deliver package, combining my speechwriting service with coaching. Or explore speech writing on its own.

What if I need to reschedule?

Life happens. Just give me reasonable notice and we'll find a new time.
