Wedding Toasts and Speeches

A wedding should be a joyous event! Don’t dread the day or look back with disappointment.

We can help you craft a terrific toast or speech and deliver it with ease and confidence. Learn to speak from the heart, share special memories, and make the guests laugh!

We’re here to help the entire bridal party - the best man, the maid of honor, the wedding couple, parents of the bride and groom, and other relatives and friends too!

As father of the bride, I panicked knowing I had to speak at my daughter’s wedding. Public speaking is not my forte by a long shot. Janelle patiently and with a confident ease, guided me through building, editing and finally presenting the speech. I was much more comfortable than I expected and delivered a "knockout” at her wedding reception! Thanks Janelle.

B’nei Mitzvah

We love helping young people becoming a B’nei Mitzvah to effectively deliver their d’var Torah and responsive readings in English. We also enjoy coaching you, their parents, to share your blessings from the bimah and at the parties afterwards. It would be an honor and a joy to help make this day a very happy one!

“Our concern was that no one would hear our shy 13 year old son at his Bar Mitzvah and he would rush and sound unintelligible. Janelle Winston, in her very kid-friendly, kind-hearted and patient manner gave our son the tools and the confidence to present himself. We highly recommend her and would use her services again.
