About Trusted Speakers

A curated speaker resource built from decades of real-world experience on stage and behind the scenes.

Helping Event Planners Find the Right Fit

Trusted Speakers exists to make the speaker search simpler, clearer, and more personal.

Trusted Speakers was built from real-world experience on both sides of the stage.

After beginning a career in stand-up comedy in 1990, Larry Weaver spent years performing for corporate events, associations, and conferences across the country. After shows, clients would often ask a simple question: “Do you know someone else like you?”

That led to recommending other speakers—and eventually to the creation of Larry Weaver Entertainment, LLC in 2001, doing business as Trusted Speakers. Over the next two decades, thousands of events were booked nationwide, working directly with organizations to find the right fit for their audience.

In 2020, the traditional agency model was phased out. Today, Trusted Speakers continues as a curated speaker resource—focused on helping event planners quickly determine the best option for their event.

In many cases, that means working directly with Larry Weaver. In others, it means being introduced to another trusted speaker who may be a better fit.

The goal is simple: clear communication, honest recommendations, and a speaker your audience will genuinely enjoy.
