Finding the right performer for an event can be a challenge. There are plenty who will pose as professionals to get whatever money they can upfront, then mysteriously disappear. Entertainment business sites that promote their talent can also hold shady dealings. The agent could pocket a large chunk of the earnings without the client being unaware, or they can sell the entertainers talents for more than they are, resulting in a negative performance experience for the event.
Though there are dark corners in the performing business, it is easy to find entertainment that suits any occasions needs. What it does require though, is time. It’s unlikely that your first search is going to result in the kind of performer you want. Try and use these steps to better your efforts in bringing the right atmosphere to your event.
Keep Searching
There are multiple talent agencies with every talent under the sun. Singers and DJ’s are not the only kind of performer getting hired anymore. Magicians, Illusionists, Comedians, Dancers, and four piece bands are becoming popular choices. Look for an entertainment business that can offer more than one variety of performance. Ask to speak with some of them, watch demo reels and past performances, and get a feel for the rates they are offering.
Take Time on Negotiations
These ideas go hand-in-hand, but the more research you do, the better prepared you’ll feel hiring an entertainer. It’s always best to compare rates of different talent agencies to see what the payment median is. Things like a level of professionalism, act style, and even distance, can determine any extra charges that may be added later. Be sure no one takes advantage if you are a novice in entertainment booking.
See if Performers Could Tailor Act for Event
If there is a performer that you have your heart set on, but their act doesn’t quite fit your events standards, ask if they would be willing to change things up. Performers are willing to compromise and make accommodations. They want to perform at your gig just as much as you do. Think of suggestions with the entertainer and see if you both can agree. Just remember to outline any changes in the contract, to ensure all bases are covered.
A corporate event or weddings are special occasions that want to be celebrated and remembered. The right entertainer can make or break the rest of the event. Providing an enjoyable night for your guests is the ultimate goal, so take your time figuring out which talent will be the best choice!
