"Larry was a fantastic speaker who would be warmly welcomed again! The Southwest Tennessee School Nutrition managers in attendance enjoyed the humor, teamwork tips, and personalized message that he shared, especially made even more relevant because Larry’s mother’s was a school nutrition employee for many years. Not only did he present well, he was flexible, accommodating, and very easy to work with prior to our event. Communication was always prompt, professional, and friendly. Booking was a breeze and the promotional materials provided were easy to utilize for participants. Larry’s positive personality and presentation were a great way to kick off our school year!"

"Larry had a lot to compete with during his presentation for our Bankers 2 Leaders group of the Alabama Bankers Association. He was the closing keynote, the ocean was calm and the sun was out, but he quickly had everyone laughing and engaged. Several said they needed the reminder to take care of themselves so they could take care of their teams and dispersing humor into the presentation made it even that more engaging. We had never had a comedian before but would absolutely use Larry again. His humor was clean and his message was positive. Also from a meeting planners' perspective, he was very easy to work with."

"Larry weaver provided a humorous, inspirational keynote at the HANDS Academy. Conference attendees are extremely hard-working home visitors, who have the very important job of supporting children and families in Kentucky. Larry’s presentation was not only insightful, but it provided a bit of comedic relief before participants attended various sessions with very heavy topics. Larry was very responsive about his availability, he gave us a preview of his presentation, let us know where we could find promotional material, and was very flexible when we needed to make small adjustments to our timeline. He also reached out to gather more information about his audience prior to the conference, which we believe added very valuable insight to his presentation. We highly recommend you book Larry for your event!"
