Best AI for wedding speeches and toasts
A wedding toast works when it's specific — one real story, told well, that lands an emotion. Most AI gives you generic warmth ("from the moment they met…"), which is exactly what makes a room politely clap and check their phones. The right model takes your half-remembered anecdotes and builds them into an arc; the wrong one writes a greeting card.
Best at warm, personal, story-driven writing — give it your anecdotes and it shapes them into a real arc (setup, story, turn, toast) instead of flattening everything into "they're perfect for each other."
Sonnet 4.6 gets you ~90% of the way for a fraction of the cost — start here, and only reach for Opus if the speech needs to do something delicate (a blended family, an absent loved one).
Help me write a best-man speech, about 3 minutes (~450 words). The groom is my college roommate of 10 years; the bride has been the steadying influence that got him to actually finish things (including the marathon he'd quit twice). Memory 1: he once drove 6 hours to help me move with zero notice. Memory 2: the first time I met the bride, he couldn't stop talking about her. Warm, one good gentle joke, ends on a sincere toast.
What to look for in any model
- 1Feed it 2–3 actual memories with details — the specifics are the speech; without them you get a template
- 2Tell it the length (most toasts should be 2–4 minutes — that's ~300–600 words) and the tone you want
- 3One joke that lands beats three that don't — ask it to pick the strongest, not pile them on, and keep it kind
- 4Read it aloud and time it — and put a glass of water down before you start
