TV programme helps grooms with the wedding speech

An important wedding tradition that forms part of the reception, wedding speeches are an opportunity to share a touching story of the happy couple and create a great atmosphere. But how do you get it just right? It's not easy writing an a memorable speech that is lighthearted, fun and touching.

Well... we've got some very good news for you!  Whether you're a groom, best man, or even the bride's father, a new TV programmer from Channel 4 can help with writing your wedding speech. The way this works is very simple and with minimal time commitment. 

Farrah Jaufuraully, Producer and Director of the show explains the process: "I will shoot a very short interview on a handheld camera, where they can tell me that they need to write a speech but haven’t yet done it for whatever reason. A speech will then be written for that person and I will film their reaction. Once you receive the written speech, there is no obligation to use it if you don't like it and it doesn’t matter how far away the wedding is, either."

If this sounds like something you'd like to get involved with, contact Farrah Jaufuraully by email farrah.Jaufuraully@tellycopter.tv or phone 0203 618 5589.
