Additional Information

SPEECHES

Speeches would normally follow a traditional order as below although it is very common to move away from this traditional approach and construct speeches in an order more personal to you.

Brides Father – Welcome the Grooms parents, relatives of both families and welcome the groom to his family, he may want to say a few words about his daughter at this point and then he would propose the following toast. “Health and happiness of the Bride and Groom”

The Bride Groom – Thank his parents for all their support and thank them for their good wishes for the future. Thank all those attending for their generous gifts and then the toast proposed would be. “Complimenting the Bridesmaids on how Beautiful they look and how they have done a fantastic job and then present them with a token of thanks.”

The Bride – Traditionally the bride does not normally make a speech but if she wished to now would be the time to do this.

The Best Man – The best man will respond to the Grooms toast on behalf of the bridesmaids and then continue by making people laugh by telling dreadful and funny stories about the Groom. It is often the way the speech might turn out that influences the choice of a Best Man.

This speech should be the high point of the day and the Best Man would finish by proposing another toast. “The Bride and Groom”

If you require any further assistance with traditional etiquette for Wedding receptions please do not hesitate to ask our Wedding Co-ordinator.

At Wolverhampton Racecourse we understand that not everyone takes the traditional

route towards seating layout and speeches, we have taken the time to prepare some

guidance for those who do prefer the more traditional approach.
