Love them or hate them, speeches are a key part of a wedding reception. Those toasts not roasts—save those for the bachelor party or rehearsal dinner give guests an insight into who the couple is, as well as their relationship. Speeches are a chance for the hosts and the happy couple to speak to their guests and to thank everyone for attending. Is there usually a specific time that the toasts happen during the reception?
Great wedding toasts are all about timing. Both how long the toasts are and when they take place can have an effect on the response. MC introduces the Father or Mother of the Bride or they can simply get up and speak. The Father or Mother of the Groom's speech they can welcome and toast the traditional guest of honour and their new daughter-in-law, the Bride. MC introduces the Best Man or whoever will read out any messages.
The MC closes the speeches by thanking everyone, and announces when the cutting of the cake will be made. Short And Sweet If there are just a few speakers: The Host welcomes and toasts the bride and groom traditionally the host was the Father of the Bride as it was the Brides family who paid for the wedding The Groom reponds and toasts the bridesmaids The Best Man responds on behalf of the bridal party and reads any messages.
Breaking Tradition If your mother, bridesmaid or someone outside of the traditional wedding speakers are renowned entertaining speakers then nothing should stop you from asking them to speak. Here is a suggested order of speeches that breaks with Tradition: The Best Man, MC or host welcomes everyone and introductes the bridal party then the bride and groom - if you hate making grand entrances - omit this!
The Best Man or Maid of Honour opens with their speech and makes a toast to the bride and groom. Next, the groom, bride, or the two together may toast each other, and then raise a glass to their bridal party and guests to thank them for sharing their special day. The parents of either the bride or groom or both respond. The Closer usually give thanks to the speech makers, sums up with a few sentinment words about the couple.
The closer could be the groom, the bride and groom, the best man, the MC or back to the person who opened the speeches. We recommend to end the speeches on a high note and give the close to someone who you know will make a great speech. TIPS Decide on the order of the toasts well before the wedding, write it down and send it out in advance to all the speech makers, the MC and the event manager at the venue as they may have recommendations or requirements as to the timing of food service.
Don't force anyone to give a speech. If the best man is very uncomfortable speaking before a large audience, you are better off asking the maid of honor or the grooms brother to step in for him. The MC can usher the speakers to the microphone if the speeches are staggered throughout the reception and discreetly signaling them if the speech goes on too long.
Allow a set amount of time for all the speeches to be completed. If many people are making speeches then shorten the length of each speech and if you know someone will make a particularly entertaining speech, leave their speech until last Hiring a professional MC to run the proceedings can be a safe way to keep the night on schedule, find an MC here.

If this is not the case for your wedding, consider choosing a good friend or close family member; this person is going to be the one to move the order of events along and make sure the mic is given to the right person at the right time.
Also remember to inform them of the toasting order so they know when not to take a bathroom break. In formal wedding ceremonies, toasts are given immediately following the meal, before the first dance as husband and wife. This can be done either before or after the cutting of the cake. For less formal affairs, toasts can occur after the first dance, as the first course is served, or virtually anytime that feels right to you.
Just be sure to have a finalized order of events so everyone is on the same page. The rehearsal dinner is a perfect supplementary opportunity for toasts and speeches. This is also a great time for anyone not slated for a reception toast to speak—after all, the rehearsal dinner is only for those directly involved in the wedding, and a beautiful way to pay intimate tribute to the couple. May I please have your attention for just a few brief, heartfelt moments as we toast the lovely bride and groom?
And then, we eat cake!
