I Focus Your Years of Memories… Write Your Killer Original Speech… and Show You How to Nail It Without Stress
Hi… I’m Wedding Speechwriter & Strategist Den Pope.
You only have one shot to nail this speech.
Brides, grooms and audiences are tired of do-it-yourself wedding speeches pieced together with dull, rambling stories and canned, one-size-fits-all lines they’ve all heard before and could be said about any bride and groom anywhere like, “You’re the perfect couple!” Zzzz.
I’ll help you shock, surprise and thrill the bride, groom and guests with a killer original speech that is funny, warm and unforgettable.
I have a master’s degree in journalism and 20+ years of speechwriting experience. So I approach this process from a journalistic point of view, which means we’re going to go very deep, very quickly to define the values, character, humor and personality of the bride and groom through your eyes.
A Fun, Easy & Insightful Process for You
You have years of thoughts, memories, feelings and experiences about the bride or groom in your heart and head. And if you’re like most, it all feels like a jumbled mess right now.
That makes it next to impossible to step back and get perspective, which is what it takes to create a great speech that honors the bride and groom and is easy and enjoyable for the audience to follow.
The day you book your speech you’ll receive a discussion guide with a few simple but thought-provoking questions that will have you thinking about the bride and groom in ways you haven’t before. Then we’ll spend an hour on the phone together going deeper.
As important, I want to get to know you and your values, character, personality and sense of humor. Because every word of this speech has to be in your voice and personality.
Real Human Warmth, Creativity & Humor
You and I work directly together—one-to-one—to create a rich, warm, fun and completely original portrait of the bride and groom through your eyes. No bland, boring AI.
A great wedding speech is an event game changer. Be the one speaker who finally cared enough to give their best in an original speech.
And enjoy the thanks and compliments from everyone.

Steve, Illinois
“I had well over 50% of the people attending the wedding compliment me on my speech. What a great feeling! My daughter and new son-in-law loved it as well. When I first decided to hire you, I thought you were a little pricey, but after going through the full DEN experience, I can honestly say the fee you charge is a real value.” (continue)
Jim, New York
“At least 20 people told me it was the best wedding speech they've ever heard. Another 100 told me they loved it one way or another. The brilliant part is that Den is actually pulling the speech out of you and organizing your thoughts - the memories, tone and jokes are all yours.” (continue)
Connor, California

Give the Best Wedding Speech They’ve Ever Heard
Original
Your relationship with the bride or groom is like no one else’s.
But it’s difficult to step back from years of thoughts, memories and feelings to make sense of it all.
I get to the heart, soul and humor of your relationship to create a speech only one person in the world can give—you.
Authentic
Your voice and personality can’t be captured in canned speeches, generic compliments and silly lines online.
Audiences want an authentic, inside look at your relationship and will feel bored and manipulated if you try and con them with the same empty platitudes that can be said about every bride and groom anywhere. Snore.
Organized
The best speech is grounded in the fact humans have been hard-wired for story since the Stone Age.
So like a movie, your speech must grab, entertain and surprise the audience in a simple, easy-to-follow narrative structure that is more showing than telling.
