Last update: January 2025

In my career, I have been an actor, theatre director, and TV writer, working on shows such as This Life, Monarch of The Glen, As If, East Enders, Casualty, and others. I've coached top actors in comic timing and nerve control and woven stories with humour and romance. I can do the same for you.

I've been using my skills to write wedding speeches and coach presentations for the last 10 years. Why not contact me and see if I can help you?

Are you giving a speech at your wedding?

Or are you giving a speech on someone else's big day?

Are you confident that you are in control of the content of your speech and that your appearance in the spotlight will do justice to the occasion?

OR ARE YOU TERRIFIED?

If you are, don't worry! That's completely normal. Speaking in public for the inexperienced can apparently compete with the stress levels of jumping out of a plane! But I can help and make sure you deliver not only great content but also present it with the confidence of an experienced public speaker or even a stand-up comedian!

Patrick Wilde is a professional speech writer and coach based out of Basingstoke, Hampshire, but can work with clients all over the UK.

Cherry on the top of a perfect wedding day!

Patrick’s input into my wedding was just brilliant. Our spectacular reception was made so enjoyable by having his professional advice and way with words - comedy and the emotional stuff! I'm not the most confident public speaker, but Patrick put me at ease with his ability to grasp how I wanted to present myself on the day. Seeing our friends and families being so affected was thrilling! I can’t recommend Patrick highly enough!

Would highly recommend


When my mate asked me to be his best man I was made up but then realised I had to make a speech!

Fortunately, he knew Patrick Wilde and put me in touch. His personal approach to the material was fantastic and I’m so glad I didn’t use an AI app as I know some people do.

The words, advice and coaching I got from Patrick were excellent, and the speech went like a dream on the day!

Wonderful Wedding Words

My wedding to my wonderful husband Paul went just like I dreamed it - and the day went perfectly. It was such an emotional time, but Patrick’s involvement and brilliant words in the weeks leading up really helped steady everyone’s nerves. I was astonished at how well the speeches went – so much laughter and not a dry eye in the house.

Patrick is fantastic and I highly recommend him!

The best part of involving Patrick in mine and Harry’s wedding was that I was able to relax and actually enjoy my own special day, knowing the speech I was giving was going to hit all the right buttons. I felt so prepared that I had nothing to worry about in terms of what I was going to say or how I was going to say it. And I knocked it out of the park! I’d recommend getting in touch with Patrick just for a chat and see what he can do for you.

A must have for any nervous groom

Having known Patrick personally for well over a decade there was no one else I would have gone too to help me prepare for the big event.

He was warm and welcoming and more importantly patient with me. He gave constructive notes and definitely improved the product.

Anyone who’s feeling slightly nervous be it the groom, best man or brides father should seriously consider touching base with Pat.

You won’t regret it.
