🦌 At Abbots Court, we understand that the reception speeches are an integral part of creating unforgettable moments on your special day. Whether you're the best man, maid of honour, or proud parent, delivering a speech can feel like a daunting task. Fear not! Here are our top five tips to ensure your speech leaves a lasting impression:

♥️ Prepare from the Heart: Take the time to reflect on your relationship with the couple and jot down heartfelt anecdotes and memories. Authenticity shines through, so speak from the heart.

👌 Practice Makes Perfect: Rehearse your speech multiple times to familiarise yourself with the flow and timing. Confidence comes with practice, allowing you to deliver your message with poise and grace.

🕰️ Keep It Concise: While it's tempting to share every detail, less is often more when it comes to speeches. Aim for a duration of around five minutes to maintain guests' attention and ensure a seamless flow of the evening.

🤭 Inject Humuor with Grace: A well-placed joke or humorous anecdote can lighten the mood and captivate your audience. Just remember to keep humor tasteful and respectful, avoiding any potentially embarrassing stories.

🥂 End on a High Note: Conclude your speech with a heartfelt toast to the newlyweds, expressing your wishes for a lifetime of love and happiness. A poignant closing leaves a lasting impression and sets the tone for the celebrations ahead.

Remember, delivering a memorable speech is an honour and a privilege. Embrace the moment, speak from the heart, and let your words create cherished memories that will be treasured for years to come. 💖🥂

A heartfelt thank you to Ryan, Emily and their respective parties for sharing such a special day with us and thank you to 📸
