Best Man Speech Examples

Please see attached a speech I put together for my mate's wedding last summer. It was the most nerve-racking experience of my life but surprisingly I got a few laughs! Hope it's of some use.

Hi there, I'd like to thank you for your web-site as it helped me so much when making my speech. Without the examples the preparation and quality would have been... bad. After the speeches I had 10+ people come up to me and say it was the best speech they'd ever heard!! Thanks, Gareth

I used your site in November 1999 for a best man speech and found it to be a fantastic help. I'm now in the process of writing my speech as the groom and came back for some more help. I did not submit my best man speech at the time but thought I would do so now. Thanks again. Bryan Middleton

It was some time ago (August 11) I just haven't gotten around to sending it) Thanks to your site my speech went very well (sorry about the internet jibe a total lie but it got a laugh). To all best men in training I would just like to say I was bricking it right up to the point were I stood up and then I actually enjoyed myself. Basicly you couldn't ask for a kinder audience don't worry it's a doddle :-)

Following the success of my speech of which i gleaned a few ideas from your website, I would like to donate my speech to aid similarly floundering best-men. Great website!!! Regards Ben Eve

Here is a speech that I embarrassed myself with in October of this year.

Thanx for the use of your site. It saved the day which was on the 17th Dec in Johannesburg South Africa.

Thanks Hitched.co.uk, Your site was a life-saver!!!! I was really worried about giving a speech at my brother's wedding and was stuck short of ideas. Good luck to any future best men out there; my advice to you is PRACTICE, PRACTICE + PRACTICE! Not that I did that much, but what I did do helped me tremendously with getting the delivery right.....without it the best jokes will same lame. Cheers! Luke Parker

Thanks for the great site it was a great help in preparing my speech. feel free to post it but not before Dec 9th 2001 as that's when I'm doing it,I just hope it goes ok.

To all staffs in hitched.co.uk: You guys have done a wonderful job this site saved my live and as for the speech everybody was most impressed and every last bit was taken from your site Paul Clark

Dear Hitched.co.uk Below is a copy of the best man speech that I gave this weekend - 1st December 2001, which seemed to go down very well. I am grateful to you and your website for getting the creative juices flowing and especially for all the bits that I could cut and paste!! I reckon that if a best man can recite the speech from memory whilst showering in the week before the wedding you are nearly ready. A discreet printout however, remained a cosy safety net.

This was my best Mans Speech for November 17th 2001 For Neil & Kirsten's Terry Crampton

Hi I used your site and found its content to be quite excellent in helping me to deliver a well recieved speech.
