For 20 years, I’ve helped speakers like you shock, delight and captivate audiences by delivering a speech that hits like a blockbuster movie —full of surprise, emotion and unforgettable moments. 

I work with you one-on-one, providing expert guidance—from deep-dive research and custom writing to insider secrets to help you nail your speech with confidence, ease and impact. 

Be bold.
Be original.
Be unforgettable.  

And enjoy the thanks and compliments from everyone!

1. After you book your speech, I’ll send you a few simple but thought-provoking questions to begin organizing your years of memories, insights and experiences about the bride and groom.

2. Next, I’ll call you for a fun, deep-dive conversation to uncover the moments and stories that define and bring them to life through your eyes. I also want to get to you know you—your values, character, personality and sense of humor.

3. Now I’ll create your funny, heartfelt, surprisingly original speech in your voice and personality. We’ll finalize it together until every word is exactly what you want to say. Then I’ll show you how to nail it without stress or nervousness.

“I had more people than I can count tell me in no uncertain words “best they have ever heard.” The wedding planner said she tunes out 99% of father speeches after the first sentence. Tonight she said she was mesmerized, beginning to end saying, 'It was the best Father of the Bride speech I've heard. Ever.” I am so grateful to you Den. You wrote, I delivered!” (continue reading review)

“I brought down the f-ing house/excuse my French! My maid of honor speech was talked about literally all night and the entire next day. Almost every single person at the wedding (including the bride and groom) came up to me, my husband or family and said with complete sincerity that it was the best speech they have ever heard. It was a total hit and I've never been praised more for anything in my life... and I'm STILL getting texts and calls about it.” (continue reading review)

“Super happy with Den's help on a best man speech for my older brother. The questions he asked were things I hadn't thought about which triggered a lot of memories I'd forgotten about. And the delivery strategies he provided were gold. No way I could have pulled this off without Den's help. A great time all around.” (continue reading review)

EXPERIENCE

With an M.A. in journalism and decades of speechwriting experience, I know how to get to the heart, soul and humor of your relationship with the bride and groom.

This is not a side hustle, this is what I’ve done full time since 2001. (see About)

Original

Your relationship with your daughter is like no one else’s. But it’s difficult to step back from years of thoughts, memories and feelings to make sense of it all.

I get to the heart, soul and humor of your relationship to create a speech only one person in the world can give—you.

Authentic

Your voice and personality can’t be captured in canned speeches, generic templates, bland compliments and silly lines found online.

Audiences want an authentic, inside look at your relationship and will feel bored and manipulated if you try and con them with the same empty platitudes that can be said about every bride and groom everywhere. Snore.

Organized

The greatest father of the bride speech is grounded in the fact humans have been hard-wired for story since the Stone Age.

So like a movie, your speech must grab, entertain and surprise the audience in a simple narrative structure that is more showing than telling.

“The speech was the easiest home run I've hit thanks to you! Most important it was great fun and everyone absolutely loved it. They didn't think I had it in me (you're now my secret weapon). So I got amazing compliments all night. Thank you for all your help and for sticking with me even as I had a few questions the morning of the wedding.” (continue reading)
