Every speech is written in the strictest confidence and so I cannot send samples.  I hope these recent references from my clients suggest how I might be able to help you.

Every quote has been sent to me in writing.

“Wow.  This is brilliant.  Thank you.  I can’t wait to deliver it now.”

Matt G, May 2013

“Just wanted to drop you a quick line to thank you both for your help with my speech. The wedding went well – people were particularly complimentary about the clarity of the speech so your ability to edit it into shorter, snappier language with obvious pauses really made a difference. It certainly received a good number of laughs as well so overall I was very pleased.”

“I just wanted to send you an email to thank you for your help with my speech. It went really well, as did the whole day. I was slightly nervous beforehand but the line at the start got a great laugh and from then on in it was plain sailing! I’m glad I decided to get someone to help me out with writing it and you’re obviously very skilled and experienced with this sort of thing. A bad speech could have so easily overshadowed the whole day for me but now I can look back knowing that there isn’t one thing I would have done differently.”
