Hi Bride

There is no right or wrong way when it comes to speeches, you personalise the day to suit your speciaifications.

You can google wedding speeches timeline to get ideas on how to order your speeches. 

Hope this helps

Dear Bride

It's entirely up to you and how you are planning your wedding reception.  Nowadays the trend is to go for fewer shorter speeches keeping them light, with the focus being on the speeches the guests are all waiting for:  the groom's and the bride's.  However the usual order is:

- Parents of the couple

- Bestman

- Maid or Matron of Honour

- Groom

- Bride

Happy planning

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding.

There is no right or wrong order to speeches anymore along with who says a speech. Yes there are still traditional order of speeches, father of the bride, father of the groom, the best man and the groom.

 So depending on whether you are having a traditional themed wedding or not it is recommended you follow that style. 

Good luck

This is the traditional order of speeches, however its completely up to you both . Whether you wish to do a speech together or just let the groom speak ( it's all individual) and I don't believe there is a right or wrong.

  • Father of the Bride.
  • Father of the Groom
  • The Groom
  • The Bride
  • The Best Man

Hope this helps :)
