FAQs about creating a great Best Man speech

If you’d rather go it alone, here are some of the most frequently asked questions about writing a great Best Man speech.

What is the Best Man supposed to say?

The Best Man’s speech is a blend of heartfelt and humorous moments, celebrating the groom while welcoming the new couple’s journey together. Think funny stories, warm compliments, and well-wishes for their future. It’s about honoring the couple, sharing memories, and keeping the crowd engaged without stealing the spotlight.

What is the short speech for the wedding from the Best Man?

A short Best Man speech can be just as impactful! Keep it simple: introduce yourself, share a brief, meaningful story about the groom, add a few words of support for the couple, and raise a toast. Around 3-5 minutes is perfect for a concise, memorable tribute.

What does a Best Man have to include in his speech?

At a minimum, a great Best Man speech includes an introduction, a personal story or two about the groom, appreciation for the couple, and a toast. Be sure to add a bit of humour, a touch of sentiment, and words of encouragement for the newlyweds – it’s about honouring them, after all.

Who should the Best Man thank in his speech?

The Best Man traditionally thanks a few key people: the hosts (often the bride and groom’s families), the bridal party, and the guests for coming. This moment also gives a nice nod to the couple for trusting you with the honour of being the Best Man.

What is the best opening line for a wedding speech?

An opening line that grabs attention can set the tone perfectly. Try something light-hearted like, “When [groom’s name] asked me to be his Best Man, I had no idea it would mean public speaking!” Or start with a short, funny story about the two of you that leads into the speech naturally.

How do you introduce yourself as the Best Man?

Your intro should be simple and welcoming. Start with, “Good evening, everyone. For those of you who don’t know me, I’m [your name], and I have the pleasure of standing before you as [groom’s name]’s Best Man today.” If you can add a quick, light-hearted line about your connection to the groom, it helps set a friendly tone.
