Steve McCurdy — StoryMaster
Toast writing
A 45-minute conversation about the two of you. A toast written to sound like your voice — from a few days out to a few hours away.
Why a call, not a template
A good toast isn't a form with blanks to fill in — "we met in college, she's always there for me, cheers." You have real stories about this person. What's missing is someone to pull the right one out, shape it, and hand it back sounding like you, not like a template off the internet.
We get on a call — video or phone, whichever is easier. I ask how you know them, the stories that actually stuck with you, what you want the room to feel, and how long you've got to speak.
I shape what you gave me into a toast built to be spoken — the right length, a clear opening line, and an ending that lands the way you want it to.
You get it back the same day, ready to read from a card or practice out loud. One free round of edits if a line doesn't feel like you.
Who's doing this
I've spent a career doing exactly this: sitting with people, listening for what actually matters in a relationship, and shaping it into words meant to be said out loud, to a room. Weddings, retirements, big anniversaries — the moment is different every time, but the job is the same: get out of your way and let the real story come through.
