Last update: January 2026

Couples getting married believe things like venue, food and entertainment will be most important on their big day.

However, in a recent survey over FIFTY PERCENT of GUESTS said the thing they found most MEMORABLE about the day, and the real talking point, were the SPEECHES!

Patrick Wilde is a TV writer and theatre director, working on shows such as This Life, Monarch of The Glen, As If, East Enders, Casualty, and others. So...

Are you having speeches at your weddding?

Are you giving one?

Or are you giving a speech on someone else's big day?

Is everyonegiving speeches (including tthe Best Man or Woman, or proud parents) confident that they are in control of the content of their speeches and that their appearance in the spotlight will do justice to the occasion?

OR IS THERE SOME ANXIETY IN THE AIR!

If so, don't worry! That's completely normal. Speaking in public for the inexperienced can apparently compete with the stress levels of jumping out of a plane! But Patrick can help and make sure speeches deliver not only great content but are also presented with the confidence of an experienced public speaker or even a stand-up comedian!

Patrick has coached top actors in comic timing and nerve control and woven stories with humour and romance. He can do the same for you.

He's been using his skills to write wedding speeches and coach presentations for the last 10 years. Why not contact him and see if he can help?

Wedding Speech Assistance

I am delighted to recommend Patrick, his assistance has been greatly appreciated. I was a very nervous public speaker and had to do the Father of the bride speech to 160 people. I wanted to do well and Patrick worked with me over several sessions to hone my speech, help with presentation and delivery. I found that when the day came around my preparation with Patrick left me feeling excited rather than petrified. Heartily recommended.

A&H wedding

The most 'value for money' aspect of your wedding (or event) expenses. Patrick helped me with my speech delivery which has given me confidence both in speech delivery and in life

Patrick Wilde

Although I have some experience of public speaking I asked Patrick to help me as I wanted to make sure I was as well prepared as possible to deliver my "father of the bride" speech. You only get one chance to get that right. Patrick's approach was spot on from the beginning, taking time to understand my needs and style of delivery. His advice, for example, on how to rehearse at the venue and other essential practicalities was something I would almost certainly have overlooked. It greatly improved the end result. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Patrick's services which really were top rate.

Wonderful Wedding Words

My wedding to my wonderful husband Paul went just like I dreamed it - and the day went perfectly. It was such an emotional time, but Patrick’s involvement and brilliant words in the weeks leading up really helped steady everyone’s nerves. I was astonished at how well the speeches went – so much laughter and not a dry eye in the house.

Cherry on the top of a perfect wedding day!

Patrick’s input into my wedding was just brilliant. Our spectacular reception was made so enjoyable by having his professional advice and way with words - comedy and the emotional stuff! I'm not the most confident public speaker, but Patrick put me at ease with his ability to grasp how I wanted to present myself on the day. Seeing our friends and families being so affected was thrilling! I can’t recommend Patrick highly enough!

Patrick is fantastic and I highly recommend him!

The best part of involving Patrick in mine and Harry’s wedding was that I was able to relax and actually enjoy my own special day, knowing the speech I was giving was going to hit all the right buttons. I felt so prepared that I had nothing to worry about in terms of what I was going to say or how I was going to say it. And I knocked it out of the park! I’d recommend getting in touch with Patrick just for a chat and see what he can do for you.

Would highly recommend


When my mate asked me to be his best man I was made up but then realised I had to make a speech!

Fortunately, he knew Patrick Wilde and put me in touch. His personal approach to the material was fantastic and I’m so glad I didn’t use an AI app as I know some people do.

The words, advice and coaching I got from Patrick were excellent, and the speech went like a dream on the day!

A must have for any nervous groom

Having known Patrick personally for well over a decade there was no one else I would have gone too to help me prepare for the big event.

He was warm and welcoming and more importantly patient with me. He gave constructive notes and definitely improved the product.

Anyone who’s feeling slightly nervous be it the groom, best man or brides father should seriously consider touching base with Pat.

You won’t regret it.
