ABOUT ME

I’m Tom. I live and work on the stunning North Devon coast with my wife.

I’ve been writing and performing for my whole life. From my teenage years to now, I’ve been the winner of several public speaking competitions, gained a 1st class degree in Theatre, and even had a terrifying but successful stint in stand-up comedy. In my day job I’m a tennis coach so spend my life talking to people!

I’ve always had a natural ability to get up in front of an audience and hold their attention.

I started The Wedding Speech Performer shortly after marrying my own beautiful wife in August 2022. We wanted something completely different on our special day. We wanted to scrap the traditional line up of male speakers and instead have someone neutral to collect stories, comments & memories from our family & friends and then to come along on the day and present them to the room in a structured and entertaining way - the problem was that I couldn’t find anyone online offering to do this!

In the end I wrote the speech and performed it myself, and luckily for me it went well. But I felt that for others the idea of writing & performing a wedding speech could be a daunting, cringey and dreaded experience - the last thing that you want right in the middle of a wedding day!

I decided I’d offer to use my skills to help people like you.
