Who Are We?

UK Celebrity Events was formed in September 2006 ready for our first charity fund raising event at Burnley Football Club's Turf Moor ground.

In November 2006 UKCE had Neil ‘Razor’ Ruddock as an after dinner speaker to over 200 guests at Burnley Football Club, in the 1882 Lounge, which was reported to have been their biggest event since the refurbishment.

The event was organized in aid of the Cerebral Palsy Charity, Scope. The reason this charity was chosen over others was due to Gavin Roper, our Events Manager. Gavin’s nephew unfortunately suffers from this disability and so, as this charity is close to his heart, this would be the ideal benefactor of our first charity fund raising event. We managed to raise over £2,000 for Scope which was a tremendous achievement from a standing start.

UKCE can also cater for after dinner speakers for any occasion from sport to TV; whether it’s a charity event or a fund raiser for your club. An after dinner speaker can add that finishing touch to your event and pull the crowds in; by booking the right after dinner speaker you can turn a good event into a excellent event.

UKCE pride ourselves on providing top quality and reliable after dinner speakers or celebrity speakers, comedians or a compere. If you don’t see the person you require on our after dinner speaker page then please contact us because you never know we may still be able to help or point you in the right direction. Our promise to you is to make sure you get the right person and most importantly, your night runs smoothly.

UKCE can cater for any size event, whether it be a small party, 3-course sportsman's dinner, or star studded golf/football competition. Our team are willing to help you and give your organizers advice with advertising, promotional material, auction items, ticket sales and even the food and drink being served.

UKCE would like to build partnerships with people, clubs and companies. We are in the business long term so why not give us a try? We are confident that once you have tried us you will come back year after year.

Don't Just Take Our Word For It

Mick Whitworth (Chairman) Belvedere FC
From start to finish the event was very professional. From the start UKCE put us at ease by sitting down with us before the event started and giving us advice on how the night should be laid out. The night was second to none and I would recommend UKCE and I will be using them in the future for other after dinner speakers.

UKCE organized a celebrity gentleman’s evening for me and my clients; we had a number of after dinner speakers who attended the evening event, from sports personalities to soap stars. A top class service was given by UKCE, I was able to get on with entertaining my clients and enjoying the evening".

I have used many companies in the past but never used someone who would sit down with you and help with the organization of the night even before it has started, I have never been able to relax on any of my nights previously but I have to say with UKCE attending, they made sure everything ran like clockwork. I was not sure which after dinner speaker to use so UKCE recommended a number of speakers to us, however, we were never pressured in to one particular after dinner speaker, it was all up to us with UKCE helping to point us in the right direction. Our opening evening will be talked about for years to come
