SpeechAnvil helps you create a personalised wedding speech from your own stories, memories and experiences, then gives you tools to help make the finished speech better.
Instead of staring at a blank page, you’re taken through a guided interview designed around your role at the wedding. Your answers are used to shape a speech that sounds personal to you rather than like a generic template.
SpeechAnvil can help with speeches for:
See your speech plan before you buy
Before paying, you can see a personalised plan showing how your speech could be structured and the stories and ideas that could be included. If you like the direction it is taking, you can then unlock the finished speech.
Rehearsal Studio
Writing the speech is only half the challenge. SpeechAnvil’s Rehearsal Studio helps you prepare to actually deliver it.
You can practise your finished speech using a teleprompter-style display, record yourself and check your speaking pace. It helps you spot whether you are rushing, speaking too slowly or simply need a few more run-throughs before the big day.
It is designed to make practising feel much less awkward, particularly if public speaking isn’t something you normally do.
Speech Collaboration
Great wedding speeches often depend on stories that one person doesn’t know.
With SpeechAnvil’s Speech Collaboration feature, you can create a private contribution link and send it to friends or family. They can submit memories, anecdotes and stories about the people involved in the wedding.
You stay in control: review the contributions and decide which ones you want to use before they become part of your speech.
This can be particularly useful for Best Man, Best Woman, Best Person, parent and other speeches where several people may have stories worth sharing.
More than just a speech generator
SpeechAnvil is designed to support the whole process:
Whether you already have plenty of stories but don’t know how to organise them, or you have absolutely no idea where to begin, SpeechAnvil is designed to make creating and delivering a wedding speech simpler, more personal and less daunting.
SpeechAnvil doesn’t start with a generic template. It asks about you, the people involved and the stories you actually want to tell, then uses those details to build a personalised speech. It also helps after the writing is finished, with Speech Collaboration and the Rehearsal Studio.
You work through a guided interview about your role, memories, stories and the people you’re speaking about. SpeechAnvil uses your answers to create a personalised speech plan, so you can see the direction it will take before choosing to unlock the finished speech.
Yes. SpeechAnvil creates a personalised speech plan first, based on the information you provide. You can see the proposed structure and direction before deciding whether you want to unlock the full speech.
Best Man, Best Woman, Best Person, Bride, Groom, Maid or Man of Honour, parents and parental figures, plus other wedding speakers who don’t fit a traditional role.
That’s the point. The speech is built from your own memories, relationships and experiences rather than simply filling your names into a standard template. The more useful detail you give SpeechAnvil, the more personal the result can become.
Speech Collaboration lets you invite trusted friends or family to contribute stories and memories through a private link. You can then review what they send and decide which contributions you want to use. It’s a handy way of finding the stories you might otherwise never hear about.
The Rehearsal Studio helps with the bit that comes after writing: actually giving the speech. You can practise using a teleprompter-style display, record yourself and check your speaking pace, helping you prepare before the wedding rather than hoping for the best on the day.
You’re definitely not unusual. SpeechAnvil is designed to remove some of the uncertainty by giving you a clear, personal speech and somewhere to practise it beforehand. The Rehearsal Studio can also help you spot if nerves are making you rush.
Not at all. You provide the stories and information; SpeechAnvil helps turn them into a structured speech. You don’t need to know how to open it, what order everything should go in, or how to bring it to a close before you begin.
SpeechAnvil is an online service, so you can use it anywhere in the UK, or elsewhere, without needing to arrange an appointment or travel to meet a speechwriter.
