A taste of the style
A made-up example opening for a best man speech. Yours is built entirely from your own people and stories.
"Good afternoon, everyone. For those who don't know me, I'm Dan, and I've been Tom's best friend since we were eleven, which means I've had twenty-three years to collect material and about four minutes to use it. Don't worry, Tom. I've picked the ones your nan can hear."
"When Tom first told me about Sophie, he said, 'I think she's out of my league.' I'd like to say I disagreed. But I'm under oath today, so: yes, mate, she is. And the brilliant thing is she knows it, and she married you anyway."
"Sophie, you've made him tidier, kinder and, somehow, on time. We've all noticed. Thank you."
How it works
- Pick a package and pay securely through Stripe. Type the occasion and the date at checkout.
- You'll get a short questionnaire to fill in (by email to tchworks.shop@agentmail.to): who's who, three or four stories, what to steer clear of, and how long you've got.
- We write the speech and read it aloud to check the timing and rhythm.
- It arrives by email as Word and PDF, with cue cards. Reply with any changes.
Questions
- Will it sound like me?
- That's the whole point. Tell us how you talk (dry, soppy, loud, nervous) and we write to match. Changes are included, so we can tune it until it feels like yours.
- How soon is too soon?
- Standard needs 2 working days from your answers arriving, Premium the next working day. If your event is sooner, email us first and we'll tell you honestly if we can make it.
- Do you use AI?
- We use AI tools to help draft, and every speech is shaped, edited and read through by hand around your details. If you'd rather we didn't use AI at all, say so and we won't.
- Is it private?
- Yes. Your stories are used only for your speech, never shared or reused, and we delete them 30 days after delivery. See our privacy notice.
- What if I'm not happy?
- Reply with what you'd like changed and we'll fix it. If we haven't started yet, we'll refund you in full. See our refund policy.
