Hi Ger, I trust you are keeping well. My daughter Marisa got married last Saturday. The long-awaited day finally arrived, having been cancelled twice last year. We had a most enjoyable day in Cork.
All went well on the day, including FOTB Speech. I want to sincerely say thank you for your time and patience, preparing the speech for me and putting me on the right track. I almost had it off verbatim. I appreciated the help. Give my regards to Niall. Kindest regards and thanks again…
Hi Ger, just letting you know that the speech went even better than I imagined. Many thanks for your fantastic help. I will give you a call on Monday. Had so many negative thoughts before the speech, however on the day, I wasn’t a bit nervous –
Hi Ger, I couldn’t have wrote or delivered the speech without your help. People said it was a very sincere and thoughtful speech. They laughed at unexpected times in my speech, strange! Thanks so much Ger! –
Ger, thank you for the text. Just back in our room, speech left me on a high with the guests. Many, many thanks. Podium was the icing on the cake. Talk soon.
Ger, thank you for everything. I absolutely nailed it. Thanks for your text yesterday. I even got a tear from the Father of the Groom. Thank you so much for everything. Hope you a good New Years’.
Hi Ger, my wife and I went away for a few days after the wedding. The speech went very well and I got great applause despite having got a bit emotional at the end of the speech when talking about family.
Thanks for everything.
Kind regards,
Hi Ger, speech went 110%. Great praise from everyone, especially from my family, who didn’t think I had it in me. I wasn’t too nervous, so thank you Ger, will be back to you again, I’m sure!
Hi Ger, A Standing Ovation!!! I could not be more prouder and more happier. The amount of people that came up to me after the speech and over the w/e (after they dried their eyes out!), was phenomenal. They were all saying how it was the best speech they had ever heard at a wedding. Ger, you helped me so much and I think you don’t realise it!. You helped pull the words out of me and they were the right words, giving me great structure and content. I could talk to you for hours about it and how thankful I am. When I sat down after delivering the speech, you were the first person I thought of. I am so grateful to you Ger! –
Hi Ger, I surprised myself, couldn’t have gone any better, people were so complimentary saying, ‘It was the best speech they ever heard!’ I was very touched. This is all down to you Ger. And the nerves never arrived!
Hi Ger, it went brilliant, a very good speech indeed. My sons told me that the only thing people were talking about was your speech Dad! Our Table-based Podium worked great. It went exactly how you said it would go. Thanks a million for all your help and support and advice. I am really happy now!
Hello Ger, thank you for everything, speech went well, compliments from everyone. They were still talking about it over breakfast the following morning. I knew that when I sat down I had nailed it! You have been brilliant, I simply could not have done this without you. Thank you, thank you, unbelievable, thank you!
Morning Ger, hope you’re well. All went well with Felix’s Eulogy. Thanks for all your help, it was excellent. Are you around Tuesday or Wednesday? I will call in to see you?
Hi Ger, what can I say? It went brilliant, thank you so much. Loads of compliments with the speakers after me saying how they couldn’t emulate my speech. The Father of the Groom has asked me to write his business speeches. People were thanking me for making them cry and ruining their make-up (ladies). My family were very proud.
Ger, both speeches went great, I am so delighted. Have to admit, I was nervous at the start, but once I got going, I was so in control. Having the speech in front of me was such a great support. You’ve a great business there and I was so glad that I went to you, you helped me so much. When the others step up to the mark, I will be back to you for sure! – (Cloonacauneen Castle, Galway (Family & Guests Wedding Celebration) – July 2019
Hi Ger, Just texting you to say a big thank you for all your help with the speech. It went very well and I was getting compliments all night, I really appreciate it. It couldn’t have gone any better. Family members and business people were coming up to me saying that it was the best they’ve ever heard with a good balance between humour and the serious stuff. The small little things that you told really helped too –
Mighty Ger, just mighty! I don’t know what to say to you, I’m so grateful for all your help. It was something else, the applause, people around me being emotional and everyone coming up to me afterwards. I was nervous, I have to admit, but not as much as I thought I would be, there were as you know over 350 people listening to and watching me! People thought it was such a heartfelt speech, as my delivery showed how much it meant to me. I couldn’t recommend you Ger, the process and the help highly enough. It was the best money and time I ever spent. It’s a once off and I’m so delighted that it went way beyond my expectations. I could talk about the experience forever .
It went really, really well Ger! All of the hard efforts, energy and time paid off. As you said, I took my time at the start and then gently eased myself into it. Great compliments from family, uncles & aunts, relations and friends. I was delighted. Thanks again Ger. If you want a more formal testimonial, please let me know, no problem
Hi Ger, everything went great, The Bride & Groom said how they wouldn’t change a single thing. My speech went great too, received a lot of compliments, especially from the Father of the Bride who shook my hand and said, ‘That was a beautiful speech, well done!’ Thank you for everything again Ger and at such short notice
Hi Ger, everything went so well and smooth with no hiccups! It really couldn’t have gone any better, great compliments received. I was actually very, very nervous and was considering not doing it at all (after eight months of thinking about it!), but suddenly the microphone was in front of me and I had no choice. I was so glad I did it. The audience were such a great support and help, clapping and cheering after my every paragraph. So, thanks a million Ger and in such short notice .
Hi Ger, Sorry I missed you, last minute run around before flying back to Australia. Thanks so much for all the pointers and seeing me at such short notice, two days before the wedding! I got great reviews back from everyone. I even managed to hide my nerves somewhat. Thanks again, the wedding was a great day.
Ger, sorry for the delay in calling you, we kept missing each other. I am top of the world, I stole the show, making bits of the Bestman (in a humorous way). I’m still receiving compliments a week later, with everyone so proud of me. ‘How did you come up with that, who told you how to hold the mic that way, how did you think of the props?’, were some of the many comments. I spoke so clearly and slowly. It was brilliant. Couldn’t have done it without you Ger. I still thinking about it with a grin on my face!
Ger, sorry for the delay in calling you, had to entertain Swiss and Italian relations and friends. Where do I start? Well, I got a standing ovation, can you believe it? The day was fantastic. Some of the feedback that I got and still getting it, even from family, who can be slow to compliment include – Speech of a lifetime, I was gob-smacked, How did you do it, It was delivered so well and many more! I spoke from the heart Ger, as you said. People were clapping on everything I said, with so many tears around the place, with hugs and kisses afterwards. People were giving me tips and advice before my speech, not knowing how well I had prepared, that was funny. Everyone was so proud of me, I was even proud of myself. I can’t thank you enough Ger, imagine I got a standing ovation!
Hi Ger, A Standing Ovation! Speech went great. Everyone talking about it! The main feedback was that I didn’t forget anyone. Crying and laughing all mixed into one. Everyone mentioned the speech in the video going around the tables. I’m delighted. Fair play Ger, so happy that I found you and went to you. Speak soon
Hi Ger! Once again I (I should say we!) delivered! It went great. A lot of emotion again. They really enjoyed the poem, the joke and the blessing at the end. That’s it now Ger, no more ‘top table’ weddings for me. I’ve done my bit. Thank you so much again, it was a pleasure to work with you
Ger, the speech couldn’t have went any better. As you know, I was the only speaker. They loved it. I was nervous beforehand, due to my last experience, but today, I nailed it. It was you and your genuine help and concern that got me through. It was so important to me to do this and do it well. Still on Cloud 9. Speak soon Ger and thanks so, so much again
Hi Ger. I think I nailed it. It really went down well. I was nervous before I started, but settled the second I started and took your advice and took it slow and put meaning into it. One of the many and great compliments I got was from my niece who said, ‘I hope that someone can deliver a speech like that at my wedding’. Thank you so much for helping me make today so special for me and my family…it means so much to me…You a great guy…Now I can relax and enjoy the evening…Thank you again. Best Regards Tom.
Hi Ger, my speech went fantastic, so many compliments, it really was great. Honestly, I could not have achieved what I achieved without your help. Thank you! Groom –
Ger, my speech blew them away, there were so many people emotionally affected by my words. I know many people say it, but they just simply did not expect this from me. I am so proud and they are so proud of me. People are looking for the speech to read it themselves. It was great to have met you.
Hi Ger, speech went great, absolutely, thank you. Thank you too for your kind text and encouraging words on the morning of the wedding and your call just now, I really appreciated them. I will certainly be recommending you
I did everything you said what a Bestman should do and say Ger, from start to finish. Received great feedback and compliments afterwards. The short time spent with you was very worthwhile. Thanks a lot Ger.
Hi Ger, apologies, missed your call, just away for a few days. I will ring you towards the end of the week. I got great compliments on my speech at the wedding, maybe 90-95% nailed it, I missed out on 1 or 2 small things, but no one took any notice, I think. Thanks for your help writing it. Sorry that I could only meet you once due to work commitments. You were right, we needed to meet more than once. Best man stole the show, he had the place in stitches laughing. Thanks again Ger
Thanks a million Ger, everything went perfect and the speech went down a treat. Thanks again for all your help over the telephone, e-mail and more importantly for your time spent with me with the rehearsal in the hotel.
Hi Ger, my speech went fantastic, so many compliments, it really was great. Honestly, I could not have achieved what I achieved without your help. Thank you!
Hi Ger, my speech went down great; the speech content, poem, video all went down a treat with so many compliments afterwards! It was brilliant actually. My buddies wanted to say that it was s—e, but they couldn’t, because they knew it wasn’t. We had so much thought and preparation put into it
Ger, my speech blew them away, there were so many people emotionally affected by my words. I know many people say it, but they just simply did not expect this from me. I am so proud and they are so proud of me. People are looking for the speech to read it themselves. It was great to have met you
Hi Ger, it was great! I was delighted, couldn’t have been happier. I was nervous in the church, but the nerves abated in the hotel. There was a change in the speaking order and I had to speak first and therefore had to change some of my content off the cuff, which went good to my surprise. People were coming up to me the whole night complimenting me, people who I would normally expect not to speak to me like that, it was great. They were saying how this is not the Brian that we know, they couldn’t believe it. Many people were emotional too. Thanks Ger, I couldn’t have done it without you.
It went very well Ger, excellent, I wasn’t nervous at all, don’t know why, but I wasn’t! Received great claps and loads of compliments / well done’s afterwards. Only for your help, I don’t know what I would have done! I even had to say ‘Grace after Meals’, which the hotel asked me to do. BTW, they loved our quote at the end, very funny. Thanks a million Ger.
Great wedding Ger and a great speech as well, everybody really enjoyed it. So much clapping, I was delighted. I was surprised how I wasn’t that nervous. I was more nervous in front of you in your office than in front of 200 people, funny isn’t? I’ll be in touch Ger as I may need your help on some key work presentations coming up. All the best and thanks again, and though I came to you with my speech already started, you were a great assistance
Hi Ger. We’re away on holidays now & the messages about my speech are still flooding in. I think I completely underestimated how I did. People who were not even there have heard & are looking for copies of what I said. WOW !!!!!!!! –
Belated huge thank you Ger, 11 requests for copies of PJ’s Speech so far! You made it happen for PJ, so proud of him and he of himself, keep at it
Well Ger, what a day, as you said it was tears and laughter, but I stood strong and delivered a powerful speech. You would have been proud of me. It went fantastic, I wasn’t nervous at all, so many people came up to me that night, the following day saying that they wanted me to write their wedding speech when it came to their day! My wife and son were delighted, honestly, no one expected this from me, and my golfing buddies were giving me 2-3 minutes tops. Even company directors were complimenting me and they speak all the time in public. It was all in all a very emotional day due to the circumstances, however everyone really enjoyed it. All our hard work paid off in the end. Thanks a lot Ger, I will be spreading the word .
It went very well Ger, emotional too due to the bereavement during the week of the wedding. Our words re; this were appropriate. A lot of people commented on the speech, I was delighted. It was nerve-wrecking too, especially when they rang the bell for everyone to transfer into the dining room. You were a great help Ger, glad we met up, so thank you very much, speak soon.
Ger, it was brilliant, so many compliments, I was very happy. Received no negative comments at all. I delivered it as you said, overall very happy in the very short timeframe that we had together, three days! Thanks a lot Ger, I will be in touch.
Hi Ger, thank you for all your help. All in all, I was very happy; I was very pleased, more than I thought I would be! They changed the speaker format and instead of me being last to speak, I was asked to speak first, though I managed to go second, so our song over the speakers had to be scrapped unfortunately. I have to say, I was anxious on the morning, but as the day went on, I began to look forward to it as you said and I spoke for 17 minutes. I think we had it timed at 11 min. I did go a bit off script against your advice, but then came back on track again. Feedback from family and friends was positive saying how it was a great, sincere speech. Though, I was facing the Bride & Groom, my back was to the audience, which I hadn’t prepared for; reinforces your suggestion of doing a pre=rehearsal in the wedding venue beforehand, which we couldn’t do. Thanks so much again Ger. I plan to be in touch with some work presentations soon. Thanks again.
Ger, it was unreal, everything just clicked into place. I wasn’t nervous at all, there were so many tears and great laughs too with my ‘cúpla focal’ and reference to Ed Sheeran’s ‘Galway Girl’ at the end, and they loved it. I know it is a cliché, but people couldn’t believe what I had done; they just were not expecting it. It was great to have met you through a previous client. You’re a professional.
Hi Ger, had a great day, speech went great, got plenty of claps on the back afterwards saying you nailed that today Johnnie! The piece about John B. Keane went down great. Got plenty of applauses during the speech too, thanks a mill for all your help.
No problem whatsoever Ger. The whole experience was overwhelming. To stand up there in front of 200 people for the first time in my life was breath-taking. If I hadn’t met you, there wouldn’t have been a hope in hell of me coming close to what I done. So much mentions of my speech at the BBQ the following day too and over the w/e. ‘Are you doing this type of thing every day?’ People, especially my family, couldn’t believe what I pulled off, they really were dumbfounded and expecting a very mediocre speech. They had been asking me about the speech for weeks beforehand even on the morning of the wedding and I told them, ’Ah, it’ll be grand, I’ll say whatever comes in to my mind, don’t be worrying!’ They were! The birthday cake presentation went down a treat too. I’d asked the priest beside me to help me turn the pages, but didn’t he skip a page and threw me, but I knew it so well and copped it and got back on track straightaway (You can trust no one, not even a priest, Ha! Ha!). I was told that I had the audience in hysterics with some of our lines, but to be honest, I never noticed it, I guess I was so focused on the task at hand as you said to! Ger, you were brilliant, it was a privilege and we had a great laugh together doing it too.
I sent them a rocker Ger! It was terrific. I raised the bar too high for the next family wedding in 2018. There was no microphone available, so I really had to raise the voice, as you said! The speech put the audience through their every emotion. I made three attempts to recommence my speech after I told the joke, it brought the house down. Though a lot of the speech was my own words, I could not, in no way, done it without you, thank you so much Ger, you were great.
Hi Ger, my speech went great, brilliant even. So much positive feedback, I took my time as you said and everyone enjoyed it. I felt great delivering it. The pre-rehearsal in the hotel really helped. Thank you very much again for everything Ger
It went down a treat Ger. I was the hero! Everyone mentioned the speech to me, even the young people; they couldn’t get over how it was delivered so much from the heart. It was incredible Ger, my wife and both families couldn’t believe it, tears were shed. I felt nervous the day before, but come the day, I was looking forward to it and I said to myself, ‘Let’s do this and let’s do it well!’ And I did and it felt mighty during and after. My Uncle from the US wants to me to join the Union! Thanks again for everything, your some man, I’ll never forget all your help, you’re a legend.
Went brilliant Ger. Got some great feedback from people. Thank you so much. Talk soon .
It went great Ger, plenty of compliments and laughs! Stories went down great. There were problems with the microphones, I had to change them three times, however, I remained cool and calm and did the whole MC duties as we had planned to do. I really couldn’t have done it without you. Once the food was served, there were no interruptions, therefore, we had to do all the talking after the meal. I ate all my food! People, who I didn’t know, came up to me afterwards and all night saying how well I’d done. Thanks a million Ger. You really have to react to the audience, don’t you?
[Beep] me Ger it went [Beep] fantastic! The best investment I ever made. They were laughing and crying. People were hugging me and shaking my hand afterwards. They just didn’t expect this from me. Enda the Groom said, ‘What the [Beep], where did that come from?’ I stuck to our script, with so many people thanking me for mentioning them. I spoke before the meal and then had the most enjoyable time and night. I’m still on a [Beep] high. If anyone wants to call me about whether they should invest in you or not, give them my number and have them call me, I will tell them that they have to! You were simply [Beep] great Ger. It was my mother (God rest her) who helped me find you –
Speech went well Ger. Stuck to my guns as you suggested. Wanted to add in some extra narrative that happened on the day, but didn’t! Overall, a rip-roaring success. Lots of people came up to me afterwards, complimenting all the speeches; I believe them to be sincere in their words, saying they were the best speeches they ever heard at a wedding. Delighted that I invested in you, one of my better decisions.
Hi Ger, all went to our plan! I definitely showed up all of the other speakers, they really did not expect what they saw and heard. The claps were deafening. I really nailed it. A guy asked me afterwards, ‘Did I work in the military?’ I must have looked and sounded a bit authoritarian, but I guess that’s what it takes to do it right. The hotel had a great sound system. People had doubted me Ger, but I delivered! Thank you for all your help, really…!
Perfect Ger. Everyone was so appreciative and laughed a lot. I was delighted. Thank you for all your help. I’ll be coming back to you when I’m Bestman for my brother’s wedding.
Everything went great, brilliant Ger, thank you so much! Everything we planned in the speech went down a treat. So many people, in fact loads of people came up to me afterwards and the next day saying how great they thought I was. Thanks again Ger, it was worth the trips down from Dublin over the last few Saturdays.
Everything went great Ger, thank you! I was a bit nervous, but all my work and preparation with you made the speech delivery very enjoyable. Great compliments from a rake of people, who didn’t expect it and were very surprised. Thanks again Ger, we’ll stay in touch.
Ger, Thank you for all your help in your office and in the Hotel. You were right, the PowerPoint PP slides were a risky thing to do, but it worked out good. As you know I had over 50 slides and on the day some of the background sound effects and music didn’t work out as I had hoped, but I think people enjoyed it. I did get a lot of great feedback alright. Hard work being a Bestman, but it was great to do it. Only for you, I wouldn’t have done all I did and said all I said, plus you had great ideas for the PP show.
Ger, Thank you sincerely for all your help, it was great! The speech was amazing, the reaction I got was amazing, and there wasn’t a dry eye in the hotel. Everyone coming up to and thanking me afterwards! I was emotional, but I got through it. It worked out very, very well, so thank you from the bottom of my heart. To top it all, I got a standing ovation, could not believe it!
A standing ovation Ger, that’s a fact, I couldn’t believe it, still on a high! Everyone asking me, ‘Where did that come from’? Everyone said it was brilliant. I heard I had every lady in the house in tears. UK Speaking Coach said it was the best wedding speech she had ever heard. Though I was very nervous at the start, I done everything that you told me to re; the delivery i.e. pausing, pacing, voice projecting etc. and it worked out perfectly. Couldn’t have done it without you Ger. There was no comparison between my version and yours. A few more daughters to get married yet, so I’ll be back to you
Everything went great Ger. I wouldn’t have been able to pull it off without your help, preparation and hard work beforehand are key. Received great compliments, in fact the Hotel Manager said it was the best Bestman speech he ever heard. Thanks Ger.
I wanted to say a few words at my wedding for my family and friends. Ger helped me to structure my speech and deliver it confidently in The Abbey Hotel, Roscommon. I was so glad I spoke!
It wasn’t a good speech Ger, it was a bloody great speech. I just couldn’t believe the response and reaction. Questions like Where, How, When kept being asked on how I managed to do it. If they only knew! Many people were visibly emotional as I delivered it. I kept to the script and used all your speaking tips as you advised, it really was fantastic. So many ‘applause’ interruptions during it. Thank you so much Ger
The worry of my wedding speech nearly ruined my wedding. Ger coached me all the way over a period of a few weeks building up my confidence and tailoring my speech. The best part was the rehearsal in The Galway Bay Hotel a day before the wedding, everything (what if’s…) was covered.
“’I was sick thinking about it. My wife made me go to Ger. Even though I was nervous on the day, I was controlled and confident. It’s good to be nervous, makes you more alert / focused’’
I didn’t want to speak, but I knew I had to. Came across Ger through a friend. I found his work with me to be very helpful and rewarding before, during and after I had delivered my few words in The Sheraton Hotel, Athlone. I didn’t let the families down, especially my son (the groom) who was very proud of me.
I approached Ger to work with me over a few sessions on my speech. It was very important to me to do well both for myself and my brother Oliver at his wedding in The Meadow Court Hotel, Loughrea. Everyone was expecting an ordinary and short speech. I blew them away and stole the show…thanks Ger!
I wanted to deliver a memorable speech that people would enjoy and find humorous and portray the real me. Ger worked with me very confidentially, professionally and made the speech relevant and funny. I found the rehearsal in The Hudson Bay Hotel, Athlone a week before the wedding to be crucial so that there would be no surprises on the day. There wasn,t and I will never forget the laughter and applause.
Due to family circumstances, I had to say a few words. I was ok up to a week before the wedding and then I panicked. Went on the Internet and found Great Speech. Though I was still nervous on the day, I was in control and said everything that I wanted to say. I was chuffed with myself. Thanks so much Ger
Hi Ger, Speech went brilliantly. Everyone I met after gave huge compliments about how funny and sincere it was without bringing any dirt into it. Wife was very impressed firstly that I didn’t drink until after the speeches and then how prepared and composed on the delivery I was. Thanks again for your expert help and was very very happy with the end result.
Really glad I went to you Ger. It was hard to make the initial phone call to you, but it really paid off. The hand shakes and ‘pats’ on the back lasted all weekend. After making a poor effort at my brother’s wedding as his Bestman, I didn’t want to do the same again at my own wedding. Speech was very emotional, but I held it together!
I got compliments all day Ger. I have a brother a politician and they all thought that he wrote my speech. You gave me so much confidence. I wasn’t one bit nervous. Thank you very much again. I will certainly tell people about you
150% Ger! 247 people sat down for the meal and 220 of them cried! Received so many compliments. People are even ringing me now (days after the wedding) saying how they couldn’t believe what I said and how I said it. You certainly delivered Ger. I simply could not have done it without your help! I will be telling everyone about you. Thank you, thank you, thank you…!
Could not have gone better Ger! A1! 100%! Great compliments, with some people saying it was the best Bestman speech they had ever heard. I was actually waiting and looking forward to delivering my speech, imagine that considering when we first met. Great idea to take the mic as soon as possible! I really didn’t think it would go as well Ger
Hi Ger, it went great. Everything you told me and the tips on how to get off to the right start, handle nerves and speak slowly were on the ball. Seasoned grooms were coming up to me afterwards saying that that was the best Groom’s speech they had ever heard. Received and still receiving so many compliments. Many people in the audience too were emotional. It was so worth the investment with you Ger. Thank you so much. I am Bestman for my brother next year, so I’ll be back to you for more! –
It was brilliant Ger, received compliments all night long. People pulling me aside all night, even the following day complimenting and congratulating me on the speech. They really didn’t think I had that in me. The way we had the speech written and organised on paper and the way I had it practised, they thought I was doing it all from my head as I looked at the audience a lot. Thank you so much Ger, delighted I found you and made the decision to meet up. Fair play! PS: I’m Bestman for my friend next year, so I’ll be back to you for more!
Hi Ger, Speech went great, getting loads of praise for the speech. Thanks a million for all your help!
Hi Gerard, Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Anyway your speech was super, never missed a word, all went well, better than i could have imagined. Just started to look forward to the speech as you said, which was so important and kept my eye on the ball, thanks a million, talk soon…
Ger, what can I say? The day and speech were fantastic. Thanks for all your help and advice on it. I don’t know why everyone does not seek such help and advice, it was money so well spent and I would recommend it to anybody.
Many thanks for the good wishes on Tuesday night, your prediction was correct, it all went very well and I got a load of compliments on the speech. Thanks for all your help and I look forward to meeting you soon
My husband passed away 12 months before our first daughters wedding. I wanted to give her away in the church which I did, but wasn’t looking forward to the speech. Heard of Great Speech who I found understanding and supportive. Everyone loved my few words.
The speech went down a treat. I got a standing ovation, no nerves, thanks a million Ger.
I am on my way to the airport going on my honeymoon and I said I would tell you how well I got on. The speech was brill. And everybody commented on it. Thank you so much for all the help. You were brill. I look forward to working with you in the future. Thank you Ger.
Hi Ger – just a text to let you know the speeches went very well on Saturday. Thanks so much for all your help. It was the best thing we ever did – we really appreciate it!
Hi Ger, had a great weekend. It was a very emotional day and had to change some of the speech to suit the moment. Nailed it anyway TG. Got a standing ovation!!! Thank you for all your help, it was great!
I got compliments all day Ger. I have a brother a politician and they all thought that he wrote my speech. You gave me so much confidence. I wasn’t one bit nervous. Thank you very much again. I will certainly tell people about you.
Hi Ger, speech went great and everyone loved it, thanks for your help!
Hi Ger, went very well. Got many congratulations afterwards with comments like well done to speech of the night to best speech ever and even got congratulated a week later from people who were not even at the wedding. Thank you again. Delighted I went to you
Ger, thanks a million for all your help, the speech went down very well, got loads of huge compliments. Thanks again, hopefully our paths cross again sometime.
Ya, everything went very well, thanks a million Ger.
This was the last of my five daughters to get married and I asked her which one was the best speech? She said, ‘This one Dad’. I was very happy, it was worth the trip to Galway. You did the job Ger and I thank you sincerely .
I’m so happy, over the moon Ger, my daughter couldn’t believe it, I got a standing ovation, everyone was speaking about me afterwards. I can’t think you enough. The rehearsal in the hotel beforehand was so important. No one was expecting me to do what I did and there were no tears, until afterwards
It was a great speech; a lot of clapping, great laughter, every part was perfect. Full of RTE celebrities! I got the best kiss and hug for a long time from Charlie Bird. He said, ‘It was the best speech he heard for a long time
Hiya Ger, just a quick text to say thanks so so much. The speech went absolutely brilliant. I couldn’t believe it. My wife cried, she was so happy. I genuinely couldn’t thank you enough. I was so relaxed because I was happy with the speech and I spoke slowly and people were laughing and it made the whole day. You’re a gent, all the best
PJ’s speech was excellent. People couldn’t get over it. He really stole the show. There was so much clapping. Thanks a million Ger.
Everyone was praising me afterwards Ger. I couldn’t believe it. It went so well. They thought it was very funny, you were right, they did laugh when I was hoping they would. Overall, I couldn’t believe it. Grace was delighted! –
Ger, over 40 people came up to me afterwards to congratulate me, I couldn’t believe! It went very well alright. They didn’t expect it. I did a mini-speech before I called in the Bride & Groom and the Groom commented ‘That was a great introduction’! I was thinking that you were sitting in front of me telling me to speak slowly, project the voice and add the music! Going to the hotel beforehand to do a practice was a great idea….thanks very much again Ger –
I did a great speech Ger. People were surprised that I spoke for so long, they weren’t expecting it. My Uncle came up to me afterwards and said, ‘I hope my daughter finds someone who can speak about them as honest as you did about Angela’!
It went great Ger. Glad I went to you; sorry I left it so late. We did the speeches before the meal, so I could really enjoy my meal. Thanks again Ger, I will definitely recommend you.
Ger, you did a mighty job on me, I didn’t think I could do it. The rehearsal in the hotel beforehand was great. Key too was your coaching on how to start the speech, getting off to a good start for me was so important and I did TG! Everyone should go to you for help on a wedding speech.
Ger, I’m so pleased I went to you. I couldn’t have done it without you. No emotion, just hit the ground running. There will be more work for you from this. Thanks a million, you’re great!
Ger, million, million thanks to you. Speech went fantastically well. So many people came up to me afterwards. Will be forever grateful to you. Sorry for the short notice.
Ger, speech went down a storm last night. I was receiving compliments all night after it. Meant a lot to me. Thanks so much for all your help
Ger, speech went great, I am so pleased, even the priest complimented me. I should have gone to you earlier. Thank you again
Hi Ger, Speech went well, but not as good as last time. The problem was that friends of the Bride were loud and distracting during all of the speeches. It wasn’t your fault. Thanks very much again for all your help
My speech went down a treat and I got great compliments. Cheers Pat
It went really, really well Ger. They didn’t know what I was going to say next. They were sorry to see me finish. Others said it was the best Father of the Bride speech that they had ever heard.
Speech was great Ger. So many people congratulated me. The priest said to my mother afterwards, ‘That was one of the best speeches I heard in a long time, I didn’t expect it!’ And my mother said, ‘Either did I!’ So thanks a million Ger, I couldn’t have written or delivered it without your help.
Thanks for all your help Ger. Speech was very emotional, but went down great. Teacher friends of Aoife were very impressed. My own friends and family didn’t expect it at all.
Speeches were very informal. I ad-libbed a small bit, but as you said ‘stuck to the script’. Thank you for all your help Ger, it was great.

Hi Ger, Thanks for your e-mail. The whole event went very well and I got loads of praise for my speech. So, that was a big relief, thanks for all your help it is very much appreciated. And we got weather for two days so that also helped to make it a great wedding. Thanks again.
Ger, I couldn’t wait to call you on Monday morning and now I’m speechless and out of breadth. Maria’s wedding went so perfect. It was very emotional; the hotel had to supply boxes of tissues to every table. The speech went so well. I was told I got a two minute standing ovation, which I never noticed to be honest. I can’t thank you enough. We will have the video in a few weeks and I will bring you over to the house to see it. Only then will you appreciate what you did for me. I cannot thank you enough Ger.
Ger, so glad I went to you. Preparation is the key. I was really, really pleased! Thank you.
Hi Ger, just finished speech, went brilliant and got great response from crowd, again thanks a million…so happy with it…
Hi Ger, just finished speech in the last few minutes. I was 80% happy. I actually got emotional and never expected or prepared for it and I was also very nervous, even in front of 30 people. As you know I never did anything like this before in my life. People have been congratulating me saying well done and how it was a wonderful speech. The Groom and Bestman didn’t know how to follow it. I now have to do the mini-speech that you did for me for the next part of the wedding when 80 or more guests arrive, I’m actually looking to forward to doing this one. Thanks again Ger, in my wildest dreams I simply could not have done this and to such a level without your help, talk soon.
Hi Ger, I was embarrassed! I got so many compliments, I couldn’t believe it. As you know there were a lot of dignitaries and academics there. They were all asking me questions about the ‘how’, ‘where’ and ‘when’ of my speech. It was worth every cent and time spent with you, thanks a million, I never expected that response and feedback
Ger, everything went so well. I couldn’t have done it without you. There were some tears and the song ‘North to Alaska’ went down a treat. Fair play to you.
Hi Ger, everything went great. I was so happy. I kept it together, with everyone crying around me. Your words about my son were instrumental and helped him change. It was so good to have contacted you and worked with you. The end speech was just fantastic. Compliments are still coming to me with people who were not at the wedding complimenting me. Thank you very much Ger, you were great, so worthwhile.
Speech went brilliantly Ger. Thank you for your help. I got great feedback afterward.
On honeymoon Ger. Speech went very well, Yvonne, my wife loved it…thanks a million.
Could not have simply done it without you Ger! When I first seen the first draft, I said, ‘I couldn’t possibly deliver all of this!’ But, there was nothing really I could have left out. Your preparation that you did with me and the practice sessions in the hotel before the wedding were of huge help to me. I never done this type of thing before. As I went around the tables after the meal, people were so complimentary, saying I should stand in the general election, they never expected it. Thanks a million for all your help Ger.
Speech went down a treat Ger, I was delighted, great compliments all around, thrilled I am! Your help was great and to be honest I didn’t think you would have been so much of an influence.
I stole the show Ger, everyone was talking to and about me, they never expected such a performance. I feel I took a bit from the Groom. The Wedding Coordinator of the hotel said that they never heard or seen a performance like it. It was so worth it, received so many compliments all night, thanks a million Ger
Nervous start! My mother did some speech editing that morning. But seriously Ger, it went perfect, it was fantastic. Happy that I went to you, it was great to have been prepared, all the small things made the difference.
I did very well. As you know Ger, I wouldn’t have been surprised if I didn’t do it, but I did! First two lines were shaky and then I was away! Received great compliments. All said, really, really good.
It went fantastic, I was thrilled! Some people got emotional around me, but I held it together. You were great Ger. Thanks a million and thanks too for calling afterwards.
100% Ger! I had a queue of people wanting to shake my hand after the dinner. A lot of people were crying. I think I surpassed my own expectations. Bit shaky at the start, but then got into it. I’m very happy that I found you. As well as helping me with the content, structure and delivery, you also gave me the confidence. I will definitely be recommending you. Thanks for your call Ger, I should have been calling you.
Hi Ger, it went well enough, I got surprisingly anxious and nervous before calling in the Bride & Groom, but you had warned and prepared me for that. Overall, I was very happy. They were very grateful i.e. the Bride and Groom and I was delighted that I came across you. I wouldn’t have done and said what you suggested and recommended Ger, so thanks a million for making my Bestman duties and speeches professional and right.
Everything went great Ger, thank you. Received great compliments from everyone. Glad I went to you. I was prepared and confident for the job. Thanks again.
It wonderful Ger. Lucky I went to you, I was up against some competition! Thank you so much. Went down a bomb, people couldn’t believe it! Your tip on pausing worked a treat. Best regards.
