While an entertainer’s job is to do just that, entertain, it’s important to note that guidelines must still be followed. You want your guests to enjoy the event and allow for the moments to sink in. One of the best ways to keep them engaged is hiring a performer. Now regardless of the type, your performer should always know what you expect out of them. Ask them to tailor their act if necessary to fit the kind of audience. You’re trying to set an atmosphere, so it’s entirely reasonable to ask for changes to match that mood.
Know the standards and reputation of the artist. Find out if they are known for showboating or stealing time away from the rest of the scheduled event. This should never be too much of a problem, but there are some who don’t know when to wrap up their time. But since this is your event, you must not have them become the focus of the occasion. This is why communication is so important. Being straightforward about what you expect will avoid any confusion. Also, make sure to watch the whole act. Then you can make any changes needed or even ask to add something in.
A big way to avoid a performer from overstepping their bounds is to of course have a contract. If explicit guidelines are not followed, then you can be sure the artist is the one who pays the heaviest price. Warnings of pay being affected is a good tactic to ensure your performers sticks to the straight and narrow. Although, if any entertainer needs that much warning, then they probably aren’t worth hiring to begin with.
Budget the time an artist has on stage. It is also your job to be fair and allow for the proper amount of time to let them get through their act. It’s rare to see someone purposefully go over time, so this sort of problem should rarely occur. But be sure to gather references and testimonies from people who used their talents before. If you still want to air on the side of caution, it is always acceptable to hire from an agency. They will ensure the performer is professional and sticks to the allotted time. The event should be an enjoyable experience for everyone, without too much distraction. Always be sure everything is appropriately finalized and monitor situations as best you can. Things should always go off without a hitch!
