The Wedding Speech Handbook - Michael MacMahon J

Dreading your wedding speech? ‘What should I say? What shouldn't I say?’ Here's the book that will help you master your nerves and wow your audience.

The prospect of speaking in public terrifies most people and a wedding can double the stress. Why? Because it matters. It’s personal, it’s emotional, and expectations are high.

Experienced speakers, and eminent performers in other fields, feel the fear too. But they know that the nerves are inevitable: to be welcomed and managed.

Michael MacMahon has been speaking in public, and training and coaching speakers, for 40-odd years. In The Wedding Speech Handbook he has distilled his experience of the art and science of public speaking as applied to a wedding.

This book combines the psychology and the practicalities: three strategies for managing the nerves, then lots of solid advice on drafting, remembering and delivering a great wedding speech. One that the audience will enjoy and that you’ll be proud of.
