Speech Writing, Speaker Support & Event Hosting
Professional words. Confident delivery. A personal approach.
Whether you need help finding the right words, preparing to speak in front of an audience or ensuring your event is guided with warmth and confidence, I can help.
I provide personal speech writing, editing, speaker support and selected event-hosting services for weddings, business events, community occasions and life’s important celebrations.
Speech Writing & Editing
A good speech should sound like you — not like something copied from the internet or written by somebody who has never met you.
I can help you create a speech that feels natural, personal and appropriate for the occasion.
Support is available for:
- Wedding speeches
- Retirement speeches
- Awards and presentations
- Business and community events
- Anniversaries and special celebrations
- Tributes and commemorative occasions
- Introductions, announcements and event scripts
You may already have a draft that needs strengthening, shortening or reorganising. Alternatively, we can begin with a blank page and create the speech together.
Speech Review & Polish
For speakers who already have a draft but would like professional support with structure, wording and impact.
This includes:
- Review and editing of your existing speech
- Improvements to the opening and conclusion
- Removal of repetition and unnecessary detail
- Help creating a natural flow
- One round of amendments
From £150
Bespoke Speech Writing
A fully written speech created around your personality, audience and occasion.
This includes:
- An initial consultation
- A bespoke speech written in your natural voice
- Advice on length, tone and structure
- Two rounds of amendments
- A final presentation-ready copy
From £295
Speech Writing & Delivery Support
For those who would also benefit from practising the speech and receiving support with confidence, pacing and delivery.
This includes everything in the Bespoke Speech Writing service, plus an online rehearsal and delivery session.
From £375
Speaker Support
Even a well-written speech can feel daunting when it is time to stand up and deliver it.
With more than 35 years of public-speaking experience, I can help you prepare calmly and practically.
We can work on:
- Pacing and timing
- Tone and emphasis
- Managing nerves
- Using notes naturally
- Speaking clearly and confidently
- Connecting with your audience
- Practising difficult or emotional sections
- Strengthening your opening and ending
Speaker-support sessions are available alongside speech writing or as a separate service.
Additional coaching sessions from £85
Event Hosting
A confident host can transform the atmosphere of an event.
The host welcomes guests, introduces speakers, makes announcements, keeps the event moving and deals calmly with the unexpected.
I offer professional hosting for selected:
- Business networking events
- Hospitality and venue events
- Community occasions
- Awards and recognition events
- Charity events
- Launches and showcases
- Celebrations and special occasions
My approach is warm, polished and adaptable. I do not believe an event host should dominate the room. The role is to support the occasion, put guests at ease and ensure everyone knows what is happening.
Hosting can include:
- Guest welcome
- Introductions and announcements
- Speaker introductions
- Running-order support
- Script writing
- Audience engagement
- Liaison with organisers and suppliers
- Calm management of changes on the day
Event hosting from £450
Every event is different, so a tailored quotation will be provided following an initial conversation.
Wedding Hosting & MC Services
I also offer a dedicated Wedding Host and MC service, supporting couples throughout their wedding day.
This can include guest welcome, announcements, speech introductions, transitions, entertainment, supplier liaison and helping the day run smoothly from ceremony through to the first dance.
Why Work With Me?
I have more than 35 years of public-speaking experience, including senior leadership, teaching, ceremony delivery, media work and live events.
My work as an independent celebrant has also given me extensive experience in writing personal, meaningful words for other people.
I understand how to:
- Find the right tone
- Write in somebody else’s natural voice
- Communicate clearly with different audiences
- Support nervous speakers
- Handle emotional occasions sensitively
- Think on my feet
- Keep events calm, warm and well organised
My approach is professional without being stiff, personal without being intrusive and supportive without taking over.
Let’s Talk
You may already know exactly what you need, or you may simply have an occasion coming up and feel unsure where to begin.
Tell me a little about the speech, event or audience, and I will explain how I may be able to help.
