Did you realise that the success, or dismal failure, of your wedding speeches can throw your reception timeline, energy and atmosphere into total chaos?

Poorly planned, badly timed, rambling, or offensive speeches can affect everyone from your caterers, to your friends, your videographer to your DJ.

We’re throwing it back to one of your all‑time favourite and value-packed episodes of the Unbridely Podcast: Episode #34 with multi‑Emmy award‑winning comedy writer and founder of Authentically Funny Speeches, Beth Sherman.

Beth breaks down her foolproof 6-part speech structure that keeps things heartfelt, hilarious, and crucially, short because you’re aiming for that sweet 3-5 minute spot to avoid derailing your meal service and letting everyone hit the dance floor on time with a bit of enthusiasm left. This is fundamental gold for wedding reception planning.

So if the thought of giving a wedding speech makes your palms sweat and your voice go wobbly, or you’ve asked someone to do a speech at your wedding and they seem less than thrilled, this episode is exactly what you, or they, need.

You can set them up for success by sharing this episode with them.
