Darryl Lovegrove

Thank you for your excellent presentation and delivering it with passion to the MDRT audience. You are such an amazing talent. Not only is your story inspiring, but also your voice brings me to another level. You touched so many hearts and MDRT is grateful for your sharing your gift with us.
Michelle Hoesly

We recently held an event for 100 of my key people. The purpose was to drive culture and inspire them to take the business to another level. Darryl did a fantastic presentation that supported the objective of the event and incorporated incredible opera that was uplifting and inspiring. The team gave him a standing ovation and set the scene for the balance of the event....well done
Jordan Hawke
CEO Asteron

In the twenty years I have been delivering excellence to my clients, I have drawn up (very) short lists of speakers and entertainers that have exceeded my highest expectations.  After your time with us on our recent Aon Conference, I can confirm you went straight to the top of both lists. Your truly memorable keynote session at the end of a very long day deserved the standing ovation you were given – and your truly stunning outdoor post dinner show under the Northern Territory night sky left every single person breathless.  It was simply superb!
Steve Rawlins
MD dmp marketing (PCO)

Darryl is outstanding and versatile.  His presentation is full of pertinent points that relate to life in general as well as business. He is a dynamic entertainer and the conclusion of his presentation is the only one I have ever attended where everyone ends up on their feet and there is a spontaneous standing applause  - fabulous way to end a conference. Darryl also performed at our gala dinner and was fabulous.  Undoubtedly one of the best performers we have engaged.
Peter Daly
Former CEO, AFS (Australian Financial Services) 

We recently held a conference in Sydney for 350 attendees and had Darryl as the closing speaker. His presentation was nothing short of extraordinary. He's engaging, funny, insightful, entertaining and of course highly inspirational. Many people commented that he was the best out of 14 speakers at the conference. So what would I say to someone thinking about hiring Darryl Lovegrove? Just do it.
Dale Beaumont
MD Business Blueprint. Author of the best selling ‘Secrets Exposed’ series 

Darryl’s story is an inspiration to audiences of all kinds. His message can be tailored to suit all themes, as his is a real story of never giving up or taking no for an answer.  Darryl delivered a keynote address to an auditorium of Accountants and Actuaries (a tough gig by any measure) and walked out to a standing ovation and scores of “excellent” from over 85% of attendees in the post conference feedbacks.  This is how good he is.  More importantly however is that Darryl takes the time to listen to what you as a conference organiser want from him – making it certain you get the value you want!
Chris Old
FSAA (Financial Services & Accountants Assn) Conference Chairman – 2013 

I was deeply moved on a profound level. Your keynote/performance sent shivers down my spine. You are an inspiration on so many levels. You took us on an extraordinary journey that just got more and more exciting as it evolved.

Darryl delivered a motivational presentation with a highly compelling message and was a resounding success with our clients. I can state unequivocally that he has been one of the best speakers we’ve had. I want to extend my thanks on the outstanding keynote he presented at our Annual Convention.
Ninette Maddrell
Pittard Training Group 

Thank you for your incredible keynote speech at the ‘Women in Focus’ conference in Port Douglas. The room was clearly moved by your speech and performance. Accolades have ranged from ‘totally inspired’ through to ‘best conference keynote and I travel the world’! Our purpose is to open doors for women and to ensure we inspire, inform and connect – we believe your keynote represented them in both a unique and articulate way. I also wanted to thank you for your performance during the evening dinner and your engaged participation in the conference over the three days. Many keynotes ‘fly in/out’ with little to no engagement with the guests – your visible interest in our conference was noted by so many of our guests. Your energy, warmth, humour, talent and purposeful message are a standout and we look forward to working with you in the future.

Lisa Kershaw

Darryl Lovegrove is a knock out awesome speaker. He is a performer, entrepreneur and what the corporate world needs. An injection of rock and roll values willing to have a go and confront the status quo, he is in my mind a perfect conference opener or closer. I am a big fan of his and reckon Dazza rocks!

Darryl amazes me, always has. His story is uplifting but what's even better is the lessons and inspiration you take from it.

I’m a veteran of conferences and I’ve seen my share of keynote speeches and inspirational stories so I can be tough to impress. Your presentation at our National Conference was a highlight and one of the most entertaining  sessions I’ve ever attended. The story of your success was inspirational and as if that wasn’t praiseworthy enough, you packaged it into an hour of entertainment.  Well done!
Jeff Proud
Director, Canberra Life and Superannuation 

I have attended a number of business events where there have been some great presentations, but Darryl's was moving. The story of how his passion became his business was innovative and very fresh. A great story, great entertainment and I have never seen anybody else make a room full of people get up and sing the end of Nessun Dorma "vincerò, vincerò!" Book him for your next function, the story will move you

If you are looking for a truly successful way to engage your conference audience from the beginning, look no further then Darryl! As a speaker he delighted and entertained the audience who couldn’t believe what an amazing voice he had. We also had the pleasure of Darryl singing at our final dinner. He had the audience in the palm of his hand and I have never seen them so engaged.
Laura Younger
GM, Australia Timeshare and Holiday Ownership Council (ATHOC) 

Thank you for your inspirational after dinner speech you gave at the 18^th Rainmaker Excellence Awards for 2013. We will have a big problem trying to top you in 2014, perhaps we should just use you every year. Our audience of sales and marketing executives, who attend many conferences each year, were delighted with our choice. You are a speaker and entertainer of the highest calibre.
Christopher Page
MD, Rainmaker 

Darryl's words, music, and message will stay with me forever.  His clever combining of his story and an actual 4 part message for businesses to reflect on and take home was helpful and real for businesses in this current climate.

We were fortunate to secure Darryl Lovegrove as our main entertainment. It was an extremely memorable experience which left the clients with an aura of excitement after the performance. The songs, the story and the presence of Darryl on stage was extremely impacting.
Shan Zavahir
Platinum Strategies 

On Sunday night at the dinner he was fabulous! He started with a bang (from his chair in the audience) and absolutely wowed the audience with some wonderful stage musical numbers - and even did an encore. We also all really loved the fact that he engaged with the whole group - photos, chats, and joined us on the buses on the way back into town. On Monday he did a really good job of his speech, and related it to the boarding staff audience well. My delegates absolutely loved him!
Richard Stokes
Australian Boarding Schools Association 

Darryl was the star attraction at the 2016 Direct National Combined Principals’ Associations’ State Conference. We required a show-stopping speaker and we got it in spades with Darryl. Darryl’s keynote was entertaining and inspiring – and his ability to rouse 400+ delegates to their feet to join in the final notes of Nessun Dorma from the Puccini opera Turandot (made famous by Luciano Pavarotti) brought the house down. Many delegates gave feedback that this conference was the ‘best ever’ – in part due to the excellent contribution of Darryl Lovegrove who we thank sincerely.
Magdalene St Clare

TFC Financial holds a client evening each year to engage, update and uplift our clients.  In 2012 we were excited to invite Darryl Lovegrove to complete the evening with his Keynote speech, littered with the odd gem from his vast array of songs performed throughout his stellar career. The video testimonials clearly showed how much the clients enjoyed the night, and how well Darryl connected with the audience.

Your presentation at the AFA National Conference was a highlight and one of the most entertaining sessions I’ve ever attended.  Your engaging and enthusiastic style was brilliantly exploited as you recounted your story of the evolution and ultimate success of “The 3 Waiters”. I, together with the rest of the audience was thrilled with your performance of Nessun Dorma and frankly was disappointed that there wasn’t time for you to sing some more. Whether speaking or singing, you are clearly an accomplished and polished performer. As I said, you were a highlight. The story of your success was inspirational and as if that wasn’t praiseworthy enough, you packaged it into an hour of entertainment. Well done!

Darryls performance was excellent and much appreciated by the guests. His approach and attention to detail were very professional and accommodating. His experience was invaluable in both the timing of his songs in the program and his interaction with the AV staff at the Fairmont Resort.
Blue Mountains Business Awards

Darryl’s performance is as unique as Darryl himself a warm hearted, engaging, humorous entertainer/singer with a wonderful story to tell. The weaving of his masterful singing with the details behind the creation of “The Three Waiters” was a treat. Moreover our client feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. It is a performance that delivers on a range of levels hence the broadness of the appeal.
