A best man speech with the right amount of roast

The best man speech is a balancing act: funny but kind, personal but appropriate. Tell SpeakEasy how you know the groom, your best (usable) stories, and anything that’s off-limits — and get a draft that lands the laughs and sticks the heartfelt ending. Rehearse it with the built-in teleprompter and timer.

• Humor guardrails: warm jokes from your stories, nothing mean-spirited
• Tell us what’s off-limits and it stays out of the speech
• Unlimited rewrites — “make it funnier”, “shorten it”, done
• Teleprompter view and rehearsal timer for the big day

Example opening

Jake and I have been friends since we were eight, so I’ve seen it all — including the camping trip where he set his own shoe on fire and insisted it was “part of the plan.” But since Emma came along, the man shows up on time, returns texts, and once even brought a salad to a barbecue. Emma, we don’t know what you did, but on behalf of everyone who knew him before: thank you.

Frequently asked questions

How do I keep a best man speech funny but appropriate?

Tell us what’s off-limits and it stays out. The humor comes from your own stories about the groom, kept warm rather than mean-spirited, and always lands on a sincere ending.

How long should a best man speech be?

Around three minutes. Choose a 1, 3 or 5 minute target and the draft is paced for speaking aloud, so you won’t overrun.

What if a joke doesn’t land in the draft?

Rewrite it — ask for “funnier”, “less roast”, or “stronger opening” and get a fresh take instantly, unlimited times.

Is it free to use?

Yes — during the open beta everything is free with no sign-up: generating, rewrites, teleprompter and downloads.
