Someone should tell you the truth before the wedding does.

Most wedding speech advice is either a template or a pep talk. Templates produce speeches that sound like templates. Pep talks produce best men who wing it. Neither helps the person who has to stand up with a microphone in front of a hundred people and would like to not embarrass anyone, least of all the couple.

ToastDoctor exists to be the honest friend in that moment. The one who has heard a lot of wedding speeches and will tell you, kindly, that the story about the bachelor party has to go, that the line about the lockers is the best thing in it, and that you have not actually said anything to the person your friend is marrying.

What’s here

• Guides that are free and complete: structure, timing, and full example speeches for best men, maids of honor, parents, and the couple.
• A free speech check. Paste your draft and get a grade, the lines that land, the ones that won’t, anything that will make the room go quiet, and the three fixes that matter most.
• A first-draft builder for the blank page: six questions about the couple, in your own words, and a draft in the right shape.
• A paid rewrite, in your own voice, with one free revision. And a delivery pack for the day itself: cue cards, a marked-up copy, timing, and notes for nerves.

How the check and rewrite work

They use an AI model, and we would rather say that plainly than dress it up. What makes them useful is not the model on its own. It is the set of rules it works under: judge the writing and never the people, quote only what is actually in the speech, keep the lines that work word for word, cut the things that reliably lose a wedding room, and never invent a memory or a detail. Where a rewrite needs something you did not give it, it leaves a bracket for you to fill instead of making something up. A made-up detail at a wedding is the one mistake we will not risk.

The rules come from the same place the guides do: what actually lands in a room full of people who love the couple and have a plate of food getting cold.

Who makes it

ToastDoctor is made by BMCM LLC, a small independent company in Illinois. We also make RoastMyResume, which does for resumes what ToastDoctor does for speeches, and Holiday Home Ideas. There is no venture funding and no growth team. There is a person who thinks nobody should have to give a bad wedding speech.

Privacy, briefly

Your speech is yours. A free check and its draft are deleted after seven days. A paid rewrite stays for 30 days so you can come back to it. Result pages are unlisted and hidden from search engines. We never publish a speech, and the share card carries only your grade. The privacy page has the full version.
