How fast will I get it?
Within 24 hours of your completed questionnaire arriving — usually much sooner. On a deadline? The Rush add-on ($3) puts you at the front of the queue with delivery inside 6 hours.
Is this written by a computer or a person?
Your piece is drafted with AI assistance and finished against a human quality standard — personal details woven in, off-limits honored, read aloud before it ships. What matters: it will sound like you, on a day when you couldn't find the words.
What if I don't like it?
One light revision is included — tell us what's off (a story, a tone, a length) and we'll fix it. If we truly miss, tell us; we'd rather make it right than keep your $5.
How long will my speech be?
Exactly what you ask for. Spoken pieces are built to the minute at natural speaking pace (about 130 words a minute): 2 minutes ≈ 260 words, 3 minutes ≈ 390, 5 minutes ≈ 650.
I need two speeches — mine and my partner's / my co-best-man's.
Add Second Version ($3) at checkout, or just order twice. Each piece gets its own questionnaire, so they won't sound alike.
Can I hear how it sounds before the day?
Yes — the Rehearsal Audio add-on ($2, spoken pieces) delivers your speech read aloud, so you can practice against the real rhythm.
What do I receive, exactly?
An email with a polished PDF attached and the full text in the email body — read it off your phone, print it, or copy it anywhere. No account, no app, no login.
Is my information private?
Yes. Your answers are used to write your piece and nothing else. No publishing, no examples with your details, no selling data.
Do you write in other languages?
English today. Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese storefronts are on the way — weddings and goodbyes happen in every language.
My moment isn't on the list.
