Motivational Speaker in Charlotte, NC

"Larry Weaver hit it out of the park! We had a Teacher Appreciation event, and his motivational speech was spot on. The crowd loved him, and we even received raving reviews from the teachers themselves. From start to finish it was so easy and seamless to work with Larry. He was on time, prepared and easy to communicate with throughout the whole process. There was clean comedy and real life, funny experiences he shared with us. All while teaching a great lesson and inspiring the teachers and other attendees in the room. There were plenty of materials to choose from to put in our brochures for the event and instructions for what needed to be done to prepare for his arrival were easy to follow. He was very low maintenance compared to some other speakers we have had. Truly just a pleasure to work with and all at a very reasonable price. You won't break the bank booking this funny, professional and inspiring speaker. I highly recommend him for your next upcoming event!"

Event Coordinator, FSIoffice

Motivational Speaker in Farmville, NC

"Larry Weaver captivated our audience with humor related to our field of interest (safety and construction) but emphasized the importance of having a clean and safe work place at the same time. He showed interest in the audience by wanting to learn more about our company and the people, and used that information to appeal to the audience even more. His Southern charm and sense of humor related to our audience and provided a much needed laugh as we celebrated 15 years accident free, which is unheard of in our industry. He demonstrated professionalism through his courteous demeanor and respect for our audience with good, wholesome comedy. His performance was definitely a game changer when it comes to the guest speakers we look for in our awards ceremonies! Our audience really enjoyed his personality, and he was a pleasure to work with."
