You can write and then give either a good or excellent speech at a wedding reception. I don’t think it is possible to make a perfect one, but have found three recent articles or posts with that claim.
One by Carol Leifer and Rick Mitchell at the Oprah Daily on March 11, 2025 is titled A Foolproof Guide to Writing the Perfect Wedding Speech. I previously discussed their book in a blog post on May 23, 2025 titled A brief useful little book about how to write a funny speech.
And a post at the Lin Pernille blog on March 27, 2026 is titled How to Write & Deliver the Perfect Wedding Speech.
Another article by Shelby Wax at Vogue on July 20, 2026 is titled How to Write – and Deliver – the Perfect Wedding Speech.
There is a very useful series of posts by Maddison Wallace at the paperlust blog. One is titled Wedding Speech Examples: Complete Guide for Every Speaker 2026 and describes The Five-Part Framework as follows:
1] The Hook (first 30 seconds)
2] Who You Are and Your Relationship (30 – 60 seconds)
3] The Story (The Heart of the Speech, 90 – 120 seconds)
4] The Partner and the Relationship (60- 90 seconds)
5] The Toast (30 – 45 seconds)
She has six posts about specific speeches. One on June 17, 2026 is titled Maid of Honor Speeches: 25+ Examples & Templates. A second on June 30, 2026 is titled Best Man Speech: 30 Examples + Templates (How to Write & Deliver in 2026).
