Get Started

While I'm an incredibly extroverted person, giving speeches has never been my thing, so when I was asked to give a toast at a 200-person wedding, I went to Provenance for help [...] I think it went pretty well judging by the two moms who came up to me after asking if I'd meet their daughters.

Nelson E | Groomsman

I worked with one of Provenance's professional speechwriters to help craft the ceremony and officiants remarks for my best friend’s wedding. The whole thing was a home run. Working with Provenance also took a lot of stress off of me - and the couple - given their incredible attention to detail. They’ve got all your bases covered throughout the process.

Dennis S | Officiant+Groomsman

Working with Sarah was wildly helpful! She made great tactical suggestions - like where to pause, where to be more conversational, where to speed up and where to slow down. Most importantly she encouraged me to stay true to myself. I felt like my delivery improved 10x after our session.

Rachel Z | Maid of Honor

My husband and I are not religious and needed guidance on how to perform the ceremony without religion involved. This site has religious guidance too but is a great source for the non-traditional! Worth it!

Olivia S | Bride
