What Customers Say…
Jeff, Texas
“Everyone looked at me with pain on their face as I came up to make my speech. They obviously feared a tedious speech. I got a huge roar of laughter early in the speech and after that nothing but cheers of encouragement.” (more)
Dan, California
“This was the 2nd time I had relied on Den to prepare a speech for me and I was again extremely impressed with the entire process and the final product.” (more)
Steve, Illinois
“I had well over 50% of the people attending the wedding compliment me on my speech. What a great feeling! My daughter and new son-in-law loved it as well. When I first decided to hire you, I thought you were a little pricey, but after going through the full DEN experience, I can honestly say the fee you charge is a real value.” (more)
Jim, New York
“At least 20 people told me it was the best wedding speech they've ever heard. Another 100 told me they loved it one way or another. The brilliant part is that Den is actually pulling the speech out of you and organizing your thoughts - the memories, tone and jokes are all yours.” (more)
Kevin, Colorado
“Well, it was surreal. You probably won't believe me but half the men were in tears and everyone said it was perfect, including my wife and other kids. My daughter and son-in-law thought it was amazing.” (more)
Allen, Illinois
“As I finished it and walked off the dance floor, my youngest son jumped up from his table, grabbed my arm and whispered in my ear, "Dad, that was awesome!" And that was the reaction of everyone else in the audience.” (more)
How to Give the Best Father of the Bride Speech They’ve Ever Heard
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 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 best 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.
