Great Speeches Make For Great Events
As a professional speech writer, I’ll help you to convert pin-drop silence into tears of laughter and applause
About Me
Are you hoping to deliver a compelling speech that captivates your audience, conveys your message effectively, and leaves a lasting impact? If you believe that great speeches make for great events, you’ve come to the ‘write’ place! I’m Toby Shenker, an experienced speech writer and President of my Toastmasters Club, with a longstanding passion for crafting words that resonate, inspire and engage.
As a published ghostwriter of personal memoirs, writer of corporate histories and ‘big-day’ speeches, I’ve honed the art of telling one’s story in a powerful way. Having attended one too many weddings and high-profile events that were memorable for the wrong reason – those dreary, dreadful speeches – I founded Best Speech Ever, specialising in writing original, amusing wedding speeches, meaningful tributes, and persuasive presentations.
I WRITE ALL SPEECHES GREAT AND SMALL:
* Wedding speeches * Corporate presentations, farewells, etc. * Milestone birthday speeches * Wedding anniversary speeches * Bar mitzvah or Bat mitzvah speeches * Notable celebration speeches * Eulogies

About you
Every speech I write tells a UNIQUE story that is inspired by YOU, YOUR story and the personal sentiments YOU wish to share. Yes – anyone can go to the podium and read off a template or download an impersonal, generic speech from AI. But to confidently deliver a heartfelt, compelling speech to all the most important people in your life, packed with amusing anecdotes and personal reflections, you’ll need much more than that!

Saving you time and stress
Writing that hugely important speech can be a time-consuming, stressful and often daunting task, especially when you don’t know where to start, at a time when you have an endless to-do list in hand. Whether you need to write a touching tribute to honour a significant milestone, or a wedding speech for the Bride or Groom, Parent of the Bride or Groom, Best Man or Maid of Honour, I’ll make the process a fun, creative and collaborative experience.
Upon receipt of your answers to all my trigger questions, I’ll write the first draft of your speech, and we’ll exchange our updated versions until you’re 100% happy. Ultimately, I’ll present you with an unforgettable speech infused with warmth, charm and humour – the perfect words for your occasion!
WHAT SETS THIS SPEECH WRITER APART?
GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR: Find me a person who doesn’t love to laugh! If you want to win an audience over, humour is guaranteed to be your most powerful tool. I have a knack for finding the funny side of a story and injecting it with exactly the right blend of playful banter and wit. We’ll hone in on those weird eccentricities, recollect the funny or crazy things people said or did, and build on that in an understated, fun and charming way.
I also act as an excellent sounding board, just in case the Best man or Father of the bride has misunderstood the nature of his role or assignment!
SUCCINCT & PUNCHY : By crystalizing loads of info into concise, pithy language, I’m able to cut to the chase. Your speech will be meticulously edited and tweaked to ensure it’s 100 % relevant and to the point throughout.
OBSESSION WITH BRILLIANT SPEECHES: As an avid TED talk fan, podcast listener and member of Toastmasters, I’ve come to learn what makes a speech truly exceptional and of course, how to deliver it.
By analysing numerous successful, historical speeches, I’ve identified many of the key elements contributing to their impact and applied those techniques to my own speechwriting skillset.
DELIVERY COACHING: Terrified of public speaking? Let’s get those butterflies flying in formation! With a little coaching, along with my tried and tested delivery tips in hand, you’ll step up to the podium with a heart that’s pounding… not with fear, but with the thrill of feeling totally pumped, knowing that you’re about to deliver a kick-ass speech that’s going to nail it!

Client Testimonials
Having Toby help me write my speech and perfect my delivery was the best decision we made for the wedding. I felt a lot more relaxed about the whole speech writing process, and I felt that my speech reflected my personality and really highlighted the main key stories and elements that I wanted to focus on. I got wonderful feedback from friends and family who said my speech was brilliant, very funny, and also very moving. Can’t recommend her highly enough!
With limited time on my hands, working with Toby turned the process of going from a blank page to finished, polished speech 3-5 times faster than if I had done it alone. It was truly a game changer! She made it a fun, enjoyable experience, with fast turnarounds and insightful comments and gave me unmissable tips for the delivery. Highly recommended!!
Using Toby’s input in preparing my speech for my daughter’s wedding paid off in bucketloads. She edited my initial draft to be more succinct and punchy and introduced a great balance of humour and emotion – at which point I knew we were onto something special. The tips and feedback she gave me during our delivery practice turned a really good speech into an excellent one. Countless people approached me afterwards with effusive praise and compliments, many saying it brought both laughter and tears to their eyes. I strongly endorse Toby’s offering and recommend that you don’t miss her essential delivery practice!
I was petrified at the thought of speaking at my daughter’s wedding and it was particularly tough, as my beloved husband passed away last year. I knew that I needed to do this for our family, and this is where Toby stepped in. She immediately tapped into who I am as a person, and worked with such sensitivity, bearing in mind how hard this was going to be for me. She somehow put all my mixed feelings into exactly the right words and gave me all the confidence I needed to express myself – supporting me all the way, right up to the day. THANK YOU! This was a huge break-through for me and a much-needed boost to my self-confidence!!

I was asked to toast the Bride and Groom. I sent Toby my original attempt and using her excellent editing skills, she managed to rescript it into a balance of emotion, heartfelt truths and exceptional humour all deliverable in the allocated time. We practiced the speech together and the final delivery was perfect, with lots of tears and laughter. This would not have been possible without Toby’s professional assistance.
