Write Your Wedding Speech | Ceremonies, Vows, Toasts

Before using Provenance, we didn’t even know where to begin planning our ceremony. We knew the vague arc of ceremonies from friends’ weddings, but didn’t know what important components we should consider. Your tool made it so easy to walk through ideas and thoughtfully design a ceremony that represents us, our backgrounds, and our commitment to our future.

The Provenance ceremony builder tool was a God-send. It helped the couple and I get started and get organized, reminded me to ask about tons of things I would have forgotten, and provided tons of useful content that we incorporated. We used it for everything from the overall structure, to some of the readings, to the exact language of the declaration of intent.

We come from different religious backgrounds and it felt like most offerings were too religion-focused and not representative of who we are. Your guidance allowed us the flexibility to incorporate different values and traditions into our ceremony for an end result that was truly meaningful because it felt like our own.

While I'm an incredibly extroverted person, giving speeches has never been my thing, so when I was asked to give a toast at a 200-person wedding, I went to Provenance for help [...] I think it went pretty well judging by the two moms who came up to me after asking if I'd meet their daughters.

Nelson E | Groomsman | Sept 2022

I worked with one of Provenance's professional speechwriters to help craft the ceremony and officiants remarks for my best friend’s wedding. The whole thing was a home run. Working with Provenance also took a lot of stress off of me - and the couple - given their incredible attention to detail. They’ve got all your bases covered throughout the process.

Provenance provided a service of excellence that took my voice and polished the vision to personalized perfection. I stood before my soon-to-be husband effortlessly expressing my heart. Our officiant said it was an act to follow...except we both utilized Provenance - it was terrific!

Tamara C | Bride | Apr 2023

[From WSJ Article] Left to her own devices, Ms. Hood said her vows would have sounded as though they had been written by a second-grader: 'Will you marry me? Check yes or no.' Reading what Provenance came up with, she thought, 'Wow, I would have never worded it this way and it sounds so thoughtful—and the way that I actually feel.’

Allison & Jeff | Bride & Groom | April 2023

With Provenance’s help, my (now-) wife and I didn’t have to start from scratch with our officiant. The platform provided us with a variety of options that helped us build a ceremony that was uniquely designed for us. And it paid off. The day and our ceremony was perfect in every way.

Charlie G | Groom | June 2022

I really wanted to get married at the park where my parents got married, but it wasn’t somewhere we could have our full ceremony. So we eloped! I wore a dress that had part of my mom's wedding dress in it and I asked my childhood best friend who also knew my family - to be our officiant. We used Provenance to help write the ceremony script in order to keep it short and incorporate some of the rituals that were important to us. It ended up being such a great ceremony!

Daniela F | Bride | Sept 2022

Provenance made planning our ceremony simple and easy! I also appreciated the chance to look through readings and rituals others had used for inspiration!

Stephanie C | Bride | Mar 2023

Before learning about Provenance, I sent templates for my clients to get started writing their ceremonies. Now, I can use Provenance's Ceremony Builder to help clients personalize their ceremony scripts and save tons of time and effort. It's an amazing service to have in my back pocket as a huge value-add when couples work with me as their planner

Lindsey K | Wedding Planner | Wildflower Events

I crushed the officiant speech and couldn't have done it without you...I'll be sharing your platform and product with other folks who need something like this!

Matt V | Officiant | July 2022

The whole experience - from the ceremony to the vows to the wedding planner portal - has a lot of heart. Other sites want to copy/paste templates, and this is the first time I have something I’m excited to share with my clients to really help them personalize their ceremony, vows, and toasts.

Lorie L | Wedding Planner | H&L Lovely Creations

We were completely lost when looking for a ceremony script. I loved all the options from Provenance, though still customizable! Our ceremony was beautiful and we received many compliments on it.

Sorrell B | Groom | Apr 2023

Working with Sarah was wildly helpful! She made great tactical suggestions - like where to pause, where to be more conversational, where to speed up and where to slow down. Most importantly she encouraged me to stay true to myself. I felt like my delivery improved 10x after our session.

Rachel Z | Maid of Honor | Feb 2023

[From WSJ Article] Sarah especially liked the fact that you could cross-check your partner’s vows to make sure you were on the same page, tone-wise. 'You don’t want to put too many jokes in there if your partner is being serious and sentimental,' she said. For his part, Kyle was just glad to have his time back. 'I would have had to Google ‘how to write your vows’ and read through, you know, nine articles.'

Kyle & Sarah | Groom & Bride | April 2023

From a planner’s perspective, it’s great to have full transparency into seeing how long the ceremony, vows, and toasts will all be. That way I can give a heads up to the photographer and DJ/musician so they can plan accordingly. It’s also helpful that we can be given access to see the length of the vows because we’ve all been there when one person gives a really long, heartfelt speech and the other person says “ditto.”

Kellyne M | Wedding Planner | Hand&Heart Events

Getting guidance and support from Provenance's ceremony builder tool was incredibly helpful and made me feel like not only I had a solid foundation in place, but also that I had the tools necessary to tweak and customize that for the couple to make their day as special as possible. I couldn't have done it without your help.

Arteen A | Officiant | Apr 2022

This is such an awesome site. As a wedding planner and a bride, I'm using it almost every day!
