Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Who are after dinner speakers?
An after dinner speaker is someone invited to speak at a gathering or event, and usually speaks after the meal has been served. After dinner speakers are brought in to entertain the audience or share stories, and the tone of their talk is typically light-hearted. That is down to the unique nature of after dinner events since they have a social aspect to them. Still, an after dinner speech is aimed at informing the audience about one or more issues. After dinner speakers are experts in a particular field, and much like other professional speakers, it is this background that largely informs their presentation or speech. While some are comedians, after dinner speakers could be anyone really – sports personalities, musicians, journalists, celebrities, business speakers, entrepreneurs, you name it.
What makes a good after dinner speaker?
After dinner speaking can be a tricky proposition. The speaker is tasked with the enormous responsibility of capturing the attention of weary, well-fed attendees, while still managing to share valuable insights without leaving everyone yawning. This is why after dinner speaking is typically laced with a dash of humour, although this needs to be a calculated approach lest the speaker’s remarks get interpreted the wrong way, putting a damper on proceedings. While humour is an essential feature for an after dinner speech, it is not everything – unless, the nature of the event dictates so. A good after dinner speaker needs to be someone who is mindful of their audience. Ideally, you also want someone who is well-versed in after dinner speaking because after dinner speeches need to be witty and to-the-point. The speech needs to take the audience on a journey while providing value to the attendees. Definitely many boxes to tick.
Why hire an after dinner speaker?
An after dinner speaker is a great addition to any event as they can enhance the experience of the occasion. Whether it’s a charity gala, corporate conference, end-of-year party or other event, a good after dinner speaker can transform an ordinary evening into a memorable experience. A corporate after dinner event is also a great occasion to drive a particular message home. Whether it’s leadership insights, teamwork lessons, company values or industry-related insights, these speakers can help you achieve that objective. After dinner gatherings are also learning occasions where the audience can soak in tips and inspiration. For example, a successful business coach can choose to share their journey to success and the challenges they went through to get to the top. In so doing, your audience can gain valuable wisdom about the importance of resilience in the road to success.
How do I find a suitable after dinner speaker?
Before hiring an after dinner speaker, decide on the theme of the event and what objectives you wish to accomplish. Figure out how an after dinner speaker fits into the equation in line with the theme and objectives of the occasion. Sometimes, not every shoe fits, so doing this allows you to narrow down on the right kind of speaker to help you take things home. For example, do you wish for your audience to learn about overcoming challenges and how to achieve success against all odds? An after dinner speaker versed in resilience matters would be a good fit. Similarly, a motivational speaker would be ideal to bring in to discuss the value of social justice and how to make a difference in the community. A comedian, on the other hand, would be an ideal pick if you wish to end the evening on a light note by poking fun at the idiosyncrasies and quirks of human nature. You also need to consider your audience demographics before booking your after dinner speaker. Lastly, review the speaker’s expertise and look at their testimonials.
How much does an after dinner speaker cost?
The cost of after dinner speakers varies widely. The cost will depend on the speaker’s domain or expertise, type of event, scope of event and more. The best way to determine the cost is to ask for a quote from the speakers you’re considering booking.
