Wedding toasts can be some of the best few minutes of the entire reception. đĽ
The stories, the laughs, the things you never knew your dad was going to say in front of 150 peopleâŚ
A few things weâve learned after a lot of wedding dinners:
Keep the speaker list intentional. Keep each toast around 2â3 minutes. Let your speakers know when theyâre up. And make sure your catering, planning and entertainment teams are all on the same page about timing.
Because while everyone is listening to the Best Man, thereâs a whole dinner service happening behind the scenes.
The goal is for the toast to feel like part of the evening, not something everyone is waiting through while their dinner gets cold.
Then when the microphone comes out, all you have to do is listen, laugh, cry and take it all in.
We remember the details.
You remember the moments.
