Useful tips to make sure your speech goes without a hitch
Like anything, a best man’s speech will benefit from putting in the work, in this case remembering and researching some of the fun moments in the lives of the groom – and also of the bride. It’s the very first few lines of your best man speech that will set the tone and – hopefully – put you in a state of flow where your thorough research will really pay off.Your speech has more chance of a better reception if it runs at 10 minutes or less.
Another difference between a stand-up and best man is that the audience for the latter could be anything from eight to 80, whereas a comedy audience is on average, around 20 to 50. This is another reason why the base jokes have to go, but also why the stag-do tales should remain a mystery. This is a favour to a large number of your audience because, as Steve points out, “They weren’t there!”Steve also points out that the best man speech should include the bride, and Heidi wholeheartedly agrees.
Equally, you still want funny. “You don't want to pick the one that's crying and you know, talking about their bromance,” laughs Heidi.There are no hard and fast rules on where the speeches go in relation to the wedding meal – it’s about personal choice. Heidi has a preference for the speeches to be split between courses.
