Why it feels different
Designed around a real wedding, not a blank spreadsheet.
The best wedding speeches aren't written from templates. They're built from specific stories only you can tell. PickWed's speech and vow writer interviews you first: how you met, the moment you knew, the detail everyone laughs about. Then it helps you shape those answers into a draft in your voice (heartfelt, witty or formal), sized to the minutes you actually have.
Inside Speeches
All the clever bits.
None of the clutter.
Open it for five minutes and know exactly what to do next. PickWed keeps the detail out of your head and in the right place.
Your tone, dialled in
Heartfelt, witty, formal or somewhere between: pick the register and the draft matches it, using your names and details from your profile.
Built into PickWed
Timing that keeps the room
Live word-count-to-minutes estimates while you edit, because the difference between four minutes and nine is the whole room.

How it works
From “we should” to “done”.
A gentle three-step flow gets the tool working for your wedding and keeps it useful as plans change.
- 01
Tell the stories
Short prompts collect the moments and details worth telling.
- 02
Shape the draft
Pick tone and length; edit a draft built from your own material.
- 03
Practise the delivery
Timing estimates and a clean practice view get you podium-ready.
The connected advantage
It gets smarter when your plans move.
Names, dates and your story details flow in from your wedding profile, and speech slots sync with your run sheet so the MC knows exactly who's up when.
Good to know
Questions, answered plainly.
No fine print, no planning jargon. Here are the things Australian couples ask us most.
How long should a wedding speech be?+
Three to five minutes is the sweet spot, roughly 400 to 650 words. The editor shows live timing as you write so you land in the zone.
Can it help with vows too?+
Yes. Vows have their own guided flow, including a private mode so partners can draft separately and keep the surprise.
Will it sound like AI wrote it?+
The draft is assembled from your stories and answers: the specifics no generator could invent. You edit every line; the tool's job is structure, tone and momentum, not replacing your voice.
Who is it for? Just the couple?+
Anyone with a mic: couple, best man, maid of honour, parents. Share a guest-writer link and their drafts stay private to them.
