Anniversary Speeches (By and for the couple)

Anniversary Speech

“I just wanted to say thank you so much to the team for all your help with our speech. Even though it was a pretty rushed job it went down amazingly well and we received a lot of compliments – most importantly our parents loved it!” – Katie B.

Anniversary speeches generally come in two sizes:

  • The husband and / or wife welcoming guests and musing over the past
  • A much-loved guest proposing a toast to the happy couple

In our experience, a great golden wedding or silver wedding anniversary  speech can be much more fun than a wedding speech. For a start there are less eggshells to tread on. The days are long gone when you worried about what the older generation thought. You have kept in touch with the friends you genuinely like. And your own family will (usually) add some fun to the mix.

There is also less of a ‘templated’ feel to the speeches. There are no bridesmaids to thank or father-of-the-bride to pander to.

Best of all, you now have many years of marriage (and shared experience) to use as material. Rather than the coming-together of two separate lives, this speech can truly reflect a joint (and hopefully happy) life together.

This means that you can start with a blank piece of paper and there is no excuse for lack of originality. Which means no cut and paste jokes about golden clocks or smelly slippers.

We have created a group of questions to help you gather the information you may require to write a really compelling anniversary speech. Please feel free to ask us to send it through.  There’s absolutely no obligation to use us, but we’re delighted to help edit your first attempt, or to use your notes to help write something for you.

Any meetings, calls or further edits are all included within the price we’ll quote once we know what you’d like us to do.

Please call us on 0207 118 1600, contact us by Skype or email, or, if it’s more convenient, fill-in the contact form on the right hand side of this page and we’ll get straight back to you.
