Sometimes, it's hard to find the right words.
Award-winning writer Alexandra Levine created The Toastess after being approached for help with exactly that — figuring out which of the 170,000 words in the English language could best be used to share a compelling story or deliver a powerful speech.
Her philosophy: Speechwriting is not reserved only for politicians and public figures. The Toastess prepares toasts for the moments that matter most, including weddings, graduations, birthdays, religious celebrations and other personal milestones.
So much rides on a speech. But so often there's a block — like too much pressure or too little time — that prevents the final product from realizing its full potential.
That's where The Toastess comes in.
Whether you're looking for us to edit your written work, pen a speech from scratch, coach you on your delivery or all of the above, we will help you raise your best glass.
