Charge couples and best men to write wedding speeches, vows and poems with AI

The claim

Charge couples and best men to write wedding speeches, vows and poems with AI.

Wedding surveys in 2025 and a Dutch court ruling on ChatGPT-written vows kept the topic in lifestyle news.

How we checked

This is an evidence check, not a hands-on test. We reviewed platform rules and policies, published earnings data, regulator warnings and reporting: 3 sources, listed below.

Costs

Start-up cost: £0 to start (free AI tiers exist)
Effort: low

What the evidence shows

Many couples now use AI for speeches and vows themselves, which shrinks the market for paying someone else to do it. A Queensmith survey reported by English Wedding found 55% of respondents used AI to help write vows and speeches, and Zola's 2025 survey found 74% would use AI for toasts and speeches. AI-written ceremony text can also go wrong: a Dutch court ruled a marriage invalid after finding that the officiant's speech, which it said was written with ChatGPT, left out the legally required wording.

Realistic earnings: No source gives earnings for AI speech writing services. The surveys suggest most people who want AI help already use it directly, so paid work is more likely to come from skilled human editing than from AI drafts.

Limitations

Earnings ranges are typical outcomes for a beginner, drawn from the sources; some people do far better or worse. Platform rules change often, so check the latest policy before you start.
