Wedding Speech Length Calculator

Paste your wedding speech to check its length and estimated duration. Wedding speeches are usually warmly received when they are heartfelt and concise — typically 3–5 minutes. This tool helps you check whether yours runs too long or too short before the big day.

Most wedding speeches run 3–5 minutes (about 390–650 words). Best man, maid of honor and father of the bride speeches typically aim for 3–5 minutes. Groom speeches are often slightly shorter at 2–4 minutes.
