What is a tailored toast?
It’s a one to two-minute statement that conveys your sentiments through carefully-crafted words written by me to help you impress the guests just before the clink of glasses.
Why choose a tailored toast?
At some point during the special ocassion, the glasses will rise, and all eyes will be on you. What are you going to say? A tailored toast that I will have prepared for you in advance will help save you from stammering. And they’ll never have to know that the eloquence wasn’t yours!
When Cheers or Salud just isn’t enough, make an indelible impression with a tailored toast, an original by ~ M.
Let me help make your oration outstanding!
A soul-stirring speech can add just the right amount of poignancy to an already-special time. A few moments longer than a toast, a bespoke speech is what your heart would say if it had lips.
Allow me to articulate on the page the essence of what you’re feeling so that you can focus on delivering your message, not composing it.
Some Bright Ideas
Say thank you to parents for paying college tuition.

Propose marriage to your beloved.

Announce your first pregnancy.

Express grief over the loss of someone dear.

Rather than speaking your speech, consider penning my words in a card or letter signed by you to reflect that personal touch you desire to convey.
I can also write for you lengthier, professional speeches like keynote and political addresses.
I am the lyricist of seven songs on this album.
If you’re a music composer, I’d like to speak with you about project collaboration. Contact me today to discuss merging our talents.
I can assist you with composing obituaries, in memoriams, and farewell letters. As a legally ordained minister and a former Hospice volunteer, my capacity for gentle strength and empathic understanding will help comfort you during our difficult discussions. My intention is to focus less on the from and to dates and more on the dash in between, from which the love and the legacy emerged.

TESTIMONIALS
I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated your article in the Resident about my parents. Your words captured their love story so beautifully! You wove their history into the story and even I felt like I was hearing it for the first time. As a writer myself, I appreciated how you were able to mix the facts with the words of their interview. It’s not an easy task to bring a story to life when you don’t know the people you write about. This is a gift that goes beyond the pen and paper and you have that gift. Thank you for memorializing my incredible parents between these two pages with your words. It is truly an honor to have you author this event!
As a person who loves words and has as much respect for their use as a somewhat provincial Southern boy can have, I must tell you that you are very good. Thanks.
Mary’s personalized poetry is like “Hallmark on steroids!”
