$$Average price
from$370USD
$$$High price
from$2,550USD

Rates for after dinner speakers in Columbus run from $95 to $2,550+, with most bookings around $370. Profile is the single biggest factor: a broadcaster or former international sportsperson sits at the top of that range, while speakers still building a reputation offer the same speaking length for considerably less. Travel, overnight stays and the length of the set also move the figure, so it is worth confirming what a quoted fee covers before comparing two speakers. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Photo of Richard Passaro Mentalist and Psychic Ente Richard Passaro Mentalist and Psychic Ente "We have contracted Richard several times over the years. His act is always amazing and entertaining. He always leaves our guests with plenty to contemplate." Based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (162 miles from Columbus) Nick Grandinetti - Area development manager A&M Hospitality Photo of Corporate Event Magician Corporate Event Magician "Jordan, thank you for providing top notch service for our annual corporate BBQ. Our colleagues loved your magic tricks, and you had our colleagues engaged throughout the event. We will reach out for future events, great job!" Based in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada (279 miles from Columbus) 11th September 2026 Bill Keegan - Mondelez International Photo of Dylan Gott Dylan Gott "Dylan was incredible. Even before being hired he called to have open communication and understand the logistics of the event. He was clear and open during the planning process which made it very easy! Despite our parties schedule being far behind anticipated, he patiently waited and was very kind. Then he went up and killed it! One of the lawyers was actually pounding the table in laughter. Definitely reccomend!" Based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada (317 miles from Columbus) 18th June 2026 Amiliah Goodrich - Shulman & Partners LLP Photo of Dr. K Dr. K "I've seen Kemin Zhang perform literally dozens of times, in a range of different settings and venues. He's equally at home doing close-up magic, playing music (in a range of styles and forms), or MC-ing a show. He possesses his own very special ability to transcend genres, forms, cultures, and creative roles to reach out and connect with an audience. He effortlessly bridges the worlds of Magic and Music, sometimes combining the two, often with a healthy dose of humor thrown in. He is a magical, musical Jack-of-all-trades, capable of assuming the throne of a King of Comedy, very comfortable playing the role of Joker when appropriate, and who is always a true on-stage Ace in the Hole." Based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada (317 miles from Columbus) Dan Friedman - Magic Show Photo of Steve Diggs, CSP Steve Diggs, CSP "Compelling, practical, beneficial…a good variety of takeaways. (Our people) are still talking about it…we would love to have you back!" Based in Nashville, Tennessee (333 miles from Columbus) 14th March 2026 FedEx Office Photo of Jason's Magic Jason's Magic "What a memorable afternoon! Jason magically entertained an audience from ages 12 to 77 and kept us wondering, long after he left, how he had been able to pull off what he did. This will be a birthday party we'll long remember. Thanks!" Based in Montréal, Quebec, Canada (612 miles from Columbus) Sheila
