bespoke wedding vows and
speeches for modern romantics

The right words, when they matter most.

You’ve styled every detail of your wedding day - the lighting, the linen, the playlist, the people. But when it comes to the words?

The vows. The speeches. The ceremony. The invitation copy. The signage. The website. The parts that make the day feel like you. They deserve the same care as everything else you’ve planned.

I’m Sydney, a UK-based wedding writer and founder of Altar & Toast.

I help couples craft personal vows, bespoke speeches, ceremony scripts, and everything in between - from readings and love letters, to signage, wedding websites, and even those tricky guest communication moments.

Whether you’re starting with a blank page or halfway through a rambling draft, I’m here to help you find the words - and say them well.

No templates. No filler. No “insert quote here.” Just thoughtful, personal writing that makes the moment land.

Take a look around - and when you're ready, I’d love to help you tell your love story on your most important day.
