General Questions
Yes, you are entitled to a FREE consultation. Just email me at marc@allwriteonthenight.com or call me and we can chat further.
Examples of other questions have included:
Q: I want to order more than one speech, can you offer me a discount ?
A: Yes. A discount is available for regular speech work or buying more than one speech at the same time.
Q: I’m not an after-dinner or wedding speaker but I still want help with a speech or gags. Is that something you can do?
A: Yes. I’ve written material for all sorts of people and occasions including: birthday parties, eulogies, and army dining out speeches.
Q: Your speciality is comedy but can you help with a serious speech?
A: Most definitely. I’ve helped with speeches for business men and women and conference speakers. Where appropriate, these speeches can include ice-breakers and light humour.
Q: Have you written wedding speeches for same-sex couples?
A: Yes, I have. My service is for anyone who is getting married and needs to make a speech.
It’s usually within a couple of weeks or less as I like to do several drafts of a speech before sending it. However, I can write super-urgent speeches. I’ve even written a speech on the DAY of the wedding for someone who called me that morning. Just email me for my current likely turnaround time.
- After the speech is ready, we can chat on the phone.
- I can also do a version of the speech with “director’s notes” indicating how best to deliver certain lines. There is no additional charge for this advice.
