Wedding speeches are a cherished tradition in Denmark, bringing laughter, heartfelt moments, and sometimes even a few tears. Whether you’re the bride, groom, best man, maid of honor, or a close family member, giving a speech at a Danish wedding follows certain customs. Here’s everything you need to know about Danish wedding speeches, their order, and tips for delivering a memorable toast.


🥂 Danish Wedding Speech Traditions

Danish weddings are known for their many speeches and toasts, which typically take place during the wedding dinner. Guests clink their glasses throughout the night, signaling the couple to kiss—either standing on chairs or under the table!

✔️ Multiple speeches throughout dinner – Instead of one speech session, toasts are spaced between courses.
✔️ Guests can prepare surprise speeches – It’s common for friends and family to give impromptu toasts.
✔️ Emotional, humorous, and personal speeches – A mix of heartfelt moments and light humor is encouraged.
✔️ Speech interruptions – Expect playful interruptions like table tapping and kissing traditions.

💡 Tip: If you’re giving a speech, confirm with the toastmaster to ensure a smooth flow.


🎤 Traditional Order of Wedding Speeches

1️⃣ Father of the bride – Welcomes guests and gives a heartfelt message to the couple.
2️⃣ Groom’s speech – A touching tribute to the bride and guests.
3️⃣ Bride’s speech (optional but becoming popular) – A personal and emotional moment.
4️⃣ Best man & maid of honor – A mix of humor, friendship, and well-wishes.
5️⃣ Parents of the groom – A warm welcome to the new family member.
6️⃣ Other family and close friends – Anyone wishing to share a meaningful or fun message.
7️⃣ Bride and groom’s final toast – A thank-you to everyone for celebrating with them.

💡 Tip: Keep speeches under 5 minutes to keep the night flowing smoothly.


📝 Tips for Delivering a Great Wedding Speech

✔️ Start with a Personal Story – A meaningful or funny memory sets the tone.
✔️ Keep it Positive & Heartfelt – Celebrate the couple’s love and future.
✔️ Include a Danish Wedding Tradition – Mentioning local customs adds charm.
✔️ End with a Toast – Raise a glass to the couple’s happiness.
✔️ Practice & Stay Relaxed – A deep breath and a smile go a long way!

💡 Tip: Avoid inside jokes or embarrassing stories—keep it classy and inclusive.


🎬 Enhancing the Moment: Microphones & Setup

✔️ Use a microphone – Outdoor or large venues may require sound amplification.
✔️ Choose a central speech spot – Make sure everyone has a good view.
✔️ Record the speeches – A wedding videographer can capture these special moments.
