Reviews from Teachers & Staff events

Murray Ridge Center

"I wanted to express my sincere gratitude to Larry Weaver for being the keynote speaker at our In-Service. I’m hearing positive feedback from our employees; his presentation to some was funny and motivating to others. I have been hearing from some employees that it may have been one of the best In-services we have ever had. Again, thanks so much!"

Human Resources Coordinator Annual Staff In-Service Day
Winslow Unified School District

"We recently booked Larry for our Back-to-School opening day for staff. The communication between Larry and I was efficient, ensuring that all details were addressed in advance. Larry demonstrated a high level of professionalism. His humor was clean and appropriate, which was greatly appreciated by all in attendance. The uplifting message he delivered resonated perfectly with my staff, hitting all the key points we wanted to emphasize. Overall, planning for this event was easy and the outcome was exactly what we hoped for."

Positive Regard Network

"We have multiple private schools as well as staff support in local school districts in Western Massachusetts. I was given the task of finding a motivational speaker to complete our yearly week-long training for our upcoming year. When I suggested possibly getting a comedian for the event, it was received with mixed commentary. Larry Weaver was a great find, as he advertised clean humor with a positive message. Communication with Larry made the whole process quite effortless and diminished any anxieties I may have had. On the day of the event, Larry was exceptionally professional and outstanding in his delivery. He blended key points and themes into his presentation that were previously touched upon during that week. Our mix of Teachers, Interventionist and Administrators truly enjoyed the experience."

"Larry Weaver was the ultimate professional when handling the arrangements of the event and keeping me informed of his plans and intentions as we moved closer to the date of the event. The performance was engaging, informational, captivating and most of all, funny. His stories, his approach and his connection to our school staff audience were exactly what we were looking for in a guest speaker."

"Larry Weaver was our keynote speaker for our agency wide training conference. He was extremely professional in his communication and was very interested in how he could provide the best information for our staff. He asked questions beforehand about our agency and was prompt in his correspondence. The staff gave him a high rating in our reflection survey and mentioned the appreciation they had for combining comedy with an inspirational message. They mentioned that he kept them engaged and interested. He came across very relatable with the staff and his message for positivity and kindness was motivating and inspiring."

Program Development Manager UETHDA Training Kickoff

"Everyone had a wonderful time. I received a lot of comments of how they enjoyed the session. A few of the people I talked to said it has been the best they have seen in some time. I actually had a director ask me about Larry for something they are going to do! Thanks for all the humor, the belly laughs and in some cases tears from laughing so hard."

"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!"

"Our Welcome Back Convocation is how we launch each new school year. Over 1100 faculty and staff gather to get motivated to welcome back our students, celebrate achievements, and fellowship with each other. Larry Weaver helped make our August convocation become one of the most memorable in the 31 years we have held the event! After an exhaustive, months long search, our leadership team decided to invite Larry to be a presenter at our gathering; he didn’t disappoint. Larry was easy to work with and responsive to communication, and his performance on stage was wonderful. It was packed with audience-appropriate comedy that kept us laughing! Our team loved Larry’s jokes that tied in perfectly with his message of positivity."

PR Director Convocation
Virginia Association of Independent Specialized Education Facilities

"After the seriousness that we had been through with our facilities and going through the pandemic we needed some comic relief and Larry certainly provided it! He had great stories that he could relate to our organization and work we do with students with special needs. He had lots of laughs and gave us lots of inspiration throughout his Keynote presentation. I appreciated the ease of working with him from first contact to his presentation. He made sure to find out what our organization is about and who the audience was so that he could tailor his performance to fit what we needed. The feedback from the attendees was quite positive and I heard people talking about his presentation throughout our conference. Definitely would recommend Larry to have at any event that you may have!"

Our staff loved how he engaged with them. Every member of the audience could relate to the performance. We would have Larry back again!"
