Print this page

Why book an external speaker or celebrity?

However humours your MD or senior management are, a quality after dinner speaker or comedian will add value and sparkle to your event, and truly make it a memorable night. Whether it be a conference, strategy away day, gala dinner or awards night that you require an after dinner speaker or comedian for, a professional will make a big difference. Once you have experienced the benefits, you will never go back.

Why use a speaker bureau and why Speakers Corner?

Speakers Corner do not have an affiliation or allegiance to any individual after dinner speaker, this faciliates a completely honest and unbiased recommendation policy. We offer completely objective and impartial advice on both the speakers ability and their personality fit.

Clearly knowledge and understanding of quality after dinner speakers is key to our game. With over 30 plus years worth of industry experience we have a encyclopedic knowledge of who the great speakers are, both those that are known and those that are up and coming.

I've never booked a speaker before. Where do I begin?

We're the experts so pick up the phone and call us on +44 (0) 20 8365 3200 or email us at info@speakerscorner.co.uk and we’ll accompany you through what can be quite a daunting maze! We do not hard sell and are more than happy to just advise.

What will it cost me?

The price for advice is free. However the price for a professional speaker can range from hundreds to tens of thousands of pounds. We have speakers available whatever the budget and it's our job to help you find the very best person for your event.

Most fees are negotiable and will depend on a number of factors. We believe it to be totally inappropriate to quote individuals' fees on this site. However, we are more than happy to give you an indication of costs once we have a full brief. We always negotiate the very best possible prices for our clients.

No booking – no fee?

We offer a completely free service – our commission is within the artiste’s fee. So, no booking, no fee. Feel free to talk to us about any event – we are renowned for creative and innovative ideas.

Celebrity or unknown?

Sometimes an after dinner speaker with a media profile is a must but on other occasions an exceptional, relatively-unknown speaker will cost a good deal less and may achieve your goals equally well, if not better.

I can't see the person I want on the website?

There are literally thousands of speakers that we work with. However, we only feature a small selection of our favourites on this website, if the person you require is not here, please give us a call on +44 (0) 20 8365 3200 or email us at info@speakerscorner.co.uk

How do I proceed with a booking?

Please give us a call on +44 (0) 20 8365 3200 or email us at info@speakerscorner.co.uk. Once we've both decided who would be best suited for your event, we will guide you through the process and assist you right the way through from decision making to the post event de-brief.
