How Long Should Your Wedding Speech Be?
Keep your wedding speech short, punchy and to the point. Do not wander off in different directions and keep it on topic (the bride, groom and the wedding). Five to seven minutes is more than enough. You don't want to bore the guests with a long and boring speech that just goes on and on! You want people to remember your speech and not wish it can be over and done with! Keep this funny limerick in mind:
"Remember a speech should be short;Rather don't drink some portLeave them longing for more;They'll be shouting Encore!"
