What is a Wedding Thank you Speech?

A thank you speech is a way to show your love and appreciation for everyone that attended your wedding. Make it fun, your speech does not have to be too long or scripted. As long as it comes from the heart, your thank you speech will be perfect!

Timing

The time when a thank you speech happens varies. And, your coordinator can definitely help with that in your timeline, but when it happens is not what is most important. What’s most important is the thank you speech itself. While this is one of the most important and joyous days of yours and your spouse’s lives, it is also one of the most important and momentous days of your family’s lives.
