Here are a few suggestions to consider to get your party started! Singing and Dancing Singing and dancing have always been two forms of entertainment that go hand and hand, so it’s only natural that hiring a good band who plays fun music you can dance to, might be a fun way to keep the party going. Having a skilled DJ has the advantage of giving you options of what kinds of music you might want to consider playing at your event, especially if you know your audience well enough. There are even some cases where DJs can provide you with karaoke machines if you feel like taking on a few songs yourself! If live music is more your speed, there are plenty of options to choose from. Bands can often be flexible about what kinds of music they play, so be sure and communicate what kind of experience you’re looking for, so band members can adjust to your needs accordingly. Other Kinds of Performances Alternative forms of live performances include magicians, illusionists, and comedians. These guys tend to be on the more traditional side of entertainment. Depending on the kind of event you plan on hosting consider a well-suited comedian for the job might not be the worst idea in the world. These options tend to work particularly well in well-seated settings. You can even consider serving meals to create a more relaxed environment that will help your guests be at ease and enjoy great food at the same time. Not everyone finds the same kind of entertainment enthralling, so before selecting this option, be sure that your audience fits this kind of entertainment. Games, Games, Games! A good icebreaker is games because they are a quick and effective way to lighten any mood. Activities like bucking broncos, casino tables, and a photo booth may seem like a child-like option at first glance, but they can also provide a world of fun for those looking for their ideal party experience. These activities blend smoothly with all types of live performances, so don’t feel like having a DJ alongside a photobooth is necessarily a lose-lose situation. The experience you make out of hosting your own party is shaped on how you choose to make it, so once you’re comfortable with your knowledge on the guest’s preferences choose whatever forms of entertainment are best for you.

Most of the heavy lifting when it comes to party planning occurs before in the preparation stage. Getting prepared in doing everything ahead of time turns out to be the best way to save a lot of the sweat and pain that comes with hosting an event, especially if you are expecting a lot of friends to attend. Not leaving things to the last minute and booking ahead of time can ensure that you and your guests will have a much better time, but if you are struggling, not to worry, we are here to lend a helping hand! Here are a few ways you can help ensure the next event you host will be a blast. Invite Attendants Early and Why You Should Too Set the party list in advance! It may seem too excitable to send your invitations four weeks ahead of time, but it pays for your potential party goers to have breathing room for last minute changes. While last minute changes are not always ideal, it is still better to be safe than sorry. There are cases where changes are inevitable, so sending out a party list in advance gives others time to clear their schedules and make room for your event. Sending invitations ahead of time almost always ensures you have the most guests possible. Life happens, so some people are just too busy if you don’t give them the time they need.  Giving your potential guests the time, they need to prepare is a grand gesture and will help give your guests a friendly heads-up. Clean Up to Make a Great Impression Messes are for after the party! Tidy up and make your setting as presentable as possible. You want your guests to be as comfortable as they possibly can. Attending an event when you are unfamiliar with your surroundings can be very intimidating for some attendants. Making sure your setting is spic and span will help put your guests at ease and give your event an overall great impression that you will be thankful for. A lasting impression is what will help your party be remembered, so doing everything you can to make your event as memorable as it can be is key. Having a clean environment is a quick and easy way to have an immediate positive impact and keep your guests talking about your event weeks after! Great Ways to Break the Ice  The awkwardness of people not knowing each other can kill the mood of the party fast! Breaking the ice can be a difficult prospect to overcome if you aren’t prepared to get people talking fast. Be a strong host and don’t be afraid to put yourself in the mix to get people on a more personal level. Themed parties can be a helpful strategy to combat awkwardness because it automatically gives strangers a common topic to talk discuss. Especially if it’s a fun theme! People dressed as pirates or influential musicians of the 90’s are ironically a lot easy to approach than you might think. Games are also a great introductory way to get people talking, so consider starting off with a few party games to get things going. Breaking the ice can be simple and fun and if you are willing to put in the effort to get people together.

Comedians can be an excellent choice for themed parties, as they can perform while adhering to the theme of the event. As long as they fit in, any performer will be successful in these settings. Picking the Right Kind of Funny Coming to terms with the type of comedian you are going to hire can greatly depend on what kind of party you plan to host. It’s essential to think of your guests. You don’t want to hire someone who doesn’t fit your event, and the last thing you probably want is a comedian dropping multiple F-bombs and offending your guests at a corporate party you are hosting. A mismatched comedian is often a recipe for disaster if they use a type of humor that no one understands. The objective is to lower everyone’s stress and break barriers, so knowing your audience and hiring the right kind of funny can be the difference between a dry atmosphere and one filled with smiles. Know your Guests Use your knowledge of the audience and the event to be able to pick the right kind of comedian for the job and you are more likely to get a few more laughs. If you are unfamiliar with the people coming, or you have never met them be for don’t worry! Think of their demographics and use what people have in common to find the right comedian for you. Here are a few things to consider when thinking of your guest’s most common demographics. Age –  Let’s be honest. A group of eighty-year-old men and women and a group of millennials don’t share much, as far as common interests are concerned. The likelihood that a group of elderly men and women would be offended by raunchy types of humor is far more likely to happen while a group of nimble teenagers may find good laughs at that same type of humor. Consider how old the majority of your audience is likely to be and cater the event to that age range. Doing this will increase your odds of more people having a time so don’t feel as though you are being ageist by any means. Remember it’s all about giving as many people a good time as possible, so don’t stress out about the details. Gender – Men and women are wired differently when it comes to a lot of different aspects of life. Humor is no exception. Is your audience strictly mostly male, or mostly female? If so, it may be smart to consider that when thinking about who to hire as your comedian. Again, this is not about alienating a group of men and women. It’s about picking the right person so that you have as many people having a good time as Possible. Profession and Industry – If this is an event you plan on hosting for your office you may want to also think about what type of humor is appropriate for your co-workers. A corporate cocktail party and a get-together for staff in construction have different working cultures. You may find that clean humor in your workplace is more common. Use your judgment and consider what your fellow employees have in common. Once you determine your commonality’s and work culture, you should find it much easier to find the right comedian for you.

Having a room full of guests dressed in 1940’s attire will definitely clash with dancers or comedians who are dressed in modern clothing. To keep the atmosphere consistent, make sure your entertainment dresses to fit the part. Be Consistent It may often be tempting to throw a party as quickly as possible to go with the flow, but when it comes to a party’s theme consistency is key. After all, at this point, you have probably put an enormous amount of effort into setting the theme. As if all the tasks that come with making your vision a reality wasn’t strenuous enough there is also the entertainment to think about! Finding the right kind of entertainment can be hard, even for the most experienced party planners. Don’t let inconsistencies undo that hard work. It shouldn’t matter how small or trivial those inconsistencies of décor, food, or lack of costumes may seem at the time. The seemingly tiny details that don’t apply to the theme of the party can take emersion away from your guests and leave them feeling out of place. To combat this, be consistent. The purpose is to have a good time. Communicate Your entertainment should be committed to your party’s success. Make sure to let your local entertainment booking agency know how important it is to you, for the entertainment to fit your party’s theme. Research what type of entertainment is right for you and be sure to make sure your entertainment is performing something everyone can enjoy. Also, be sure to make sure your entertainment fits sensibly as well as aesthetically. For example, if your party’s theme is 1940s pop culture than maybe hire a smooth jazz band to appeal to that time. Think about your guests. If there’s a certain type of music that your friends enjoy, keep that in mind when you’re looking for a wedding DJ. Communicate with your entertainment to make sure they fully understand your needs, and your guests need as well, especially if you’re expecting a change in wardrobe. Be clear on how much you want to pay. Remember that entertainment is ultimately there to make sure you and your friends have a good time, so make sure you find the right kind of entertainment for you!

Research the most popular themed party options to ensure you will have an ample supply of performers to choose from. Choosing an obscure theme will make your life more difficult when booking entertainment, so only do so if you have a specific performer in mind. Picking the Right Theme If you are having trouble narrowing down your list of party themes, try reevaluating what your goals for throwing an event are. A theme at a celebration will almost always look considerably different than a theme for a corporate event. Why? It’s because the goals of a birthday party and a cooperate event are usually different. Don’t make the process of picking a theme, any harder than needs to be. Ask yourself what your goal for the event is. Is it to celebrate your son’s graduation? Is it to celebrate the two people spending the rest of their life together? Questions like this can go a long way when deciding what theme for your event to choose, so evaluating what you are trying to accomplish help you choose the best theme for you and your event. What the Guests’ Want Once you’ve evaluated your goals, it’s time to think about what’s most important to your guests. The objective of all parties and events comes down to how much fun the attendees are having spending time at your event. Keep this in mind when selecting the theme and food for the event. The last thing you want to do is hire a performer that no one will enjoy. Assess what type of events your guests will enjoy. Put yourself in your guest’s shoes and ask yourself. If I were a guest going to this event what kind of theme would I enjoy? The quicker the guest becomes a priority, chances are the more successful your event will be. Be a Smart Event Planner and Have a Budget Be realistic about the kind of party you want to throw and how much you are willing to spend. Think of all the factors that come into play. Not just the décor. For example, if you plan to serve food at your event keep track of those expenses. Same goes for hiring entertainers and performers. Being realistic can set your expectations on what kind of event is within your range, so you don’t ever have to come up short of making a good impression. Don’t Stress Throwing a party and sticking to a theme can be a nerve-racking experience. We all want to make good impressions. Don’t let yourself feel pressured and always stay within your budget. Don’t make the mistake of falling so deeply in love with a theme that you end up overspending and making last minute changes. When you decide to choose a theme stick with it. Don’t spend time stressing out about what you can do better, remember the key is for everyone to have fun!

If you have a Western theme to your event, look into performers who have worked Western events in the past. Finding an entertainer who can seamlessly conform to the theme of the occasion is the best option. Book Entertainment that Feels Right What kind of entertainment should you book to ensure that your event is fun and successful? It can be hard to decide on what type of entertainment you want for your event. They are so many forms of entertainment to choose from that is can be hard to narrow the choices down and make a final commitment.  Here are a few tips and tricks to help you figure it out. A Simple Way to Budget Figure out how much you should spend. It may be tempting to grab the most established entertainers on the market, but it’s also important to consider what you can realistically afford. Having a great event doesn’t always have to be super expensive. It is important to set goals that are attainable. Using the Tampa event entertainment booking agency, Breezin Entertainment is a great way to start the process if you feel in the dark about who to hire for your event. Focus on those Attending Another way of narrowing down the list is to think about who will be attending your event. You may want to think about what kinds of entertainment they are into.  Are they the kind of people who have good taste in comedy? If it’s a corporate or professional event, you may opt to be cautious with comedy. Do research and make sure it is entertainment that everyone can enjoy. The last thing you want to do is hire a rock band when most of your attendees prefer the lighter touch of R&B. Research your Performers Try and consider the entertainment’s background. Maybe do a little research on client’s past reviews before hiring someone who has a bad history of attending events in the first place. Think ahead of the date in question and your research will always pay off. Give yourself plenty of time and don’t wait until last minute to book an event. Having a Good Time Make sure you measure what the goal of your event is. Are you looking for someone to make your wedding more memorable? If so perhaps hiring a DJ to bring to life a dance floor is the right decision for you. Keep in mind that you might not always have to spend a small fortune to have a great time. Understanding how to book an event can make the difference between throwing a mediocre event and an event that will be remembered for a lifetime! So use this advice to throw the most magnificent event you possibly can and go ahead and contact your local Tampa Bay booking agency to set a date before it’s too late!

Meetings and Conventions (M&C) researched some of the best and worst themes according to meeting planners. All agreed that a theme can greatly enhance an event if it’s done right. However, they’ve also seen many themes that have failed to connect with guests and can take away from the purpose of an event. Here’s what they found. The Best Themes:

1. Zhivago was one of the favorite themes among planners. This theme can easily be conveyed through horse-drawn carriages in the snow and Russian-themed food.
2. A Cirque du Soleil themed party
3. “Wild West Holiday Hoedown” this theme is complete with line dancing, country music band, and photo booth.
4. Cookout Themed
5. 1950s era-diner themed
6. A James Bond themed event complete with a spy car at the valet, Vesper martinis, martini glass deserts, and tuxedo-folded napkins.
7. Zombie Apocalypse day
8. Alice in Wonderland
9. Superhero Day
10. 1920s flapper day

These themes all worked and were memorable, not just because they were fun, but because the guests were able to connect with them and interact with the theme. But other themes, even similar themes, have failed because the audience wasn’t engaged or interested. The Worst Themes:

1. Re-creation of Saturday Night Live Skits because it “just did not click with the younger members of the audience.”
2. A poorly planned gala without any “pizzazz” ends up being a “poorly planned high school prom.”
3. Twilight Zone themed
4. Survivor themed
5. No Theme
6. French Independence Day because the date wasn’t specified
7. An Istanbul convention where the belly dancer wouldn’t stop dancing
8. Country-and-western events
9. “Breathe a Song.” This comes from a Longfellow poem that starts, “I shot an arrow into the air, it fell to earth I know not where.” The theme had to explain to the guests and didn’t relate to the purpose of the party.
10. A theme that requires people to eat off of other people’s bodies only makes people uncomfortable.

All of these events have actually happened and been attended. The worst themes highlight some of the largest mistakes made when it comes to event planning. One M&C member put it best when they said, “Here’s the deal: You have to go all in if you are going to do a theme. You can’t expect people to ‘get it.’ You have to own every detail to make it over-the-top experiential.” However, there are many other mistakes you can make when booking an event. Other mistakes can be hiring bad event entertainment, or not considering your guests before picking a theme. This can make any corporate event, wedding or party a disaster. To make sure your event goes off without a hitch consider your guests and think about hiring our Tampa event agency to ensure your theme is thoroughly thought out and carried through properly.

Whether it’s a wedding, a corporate event, or another type of event, booking the right event entertainment is important, especially if that event has a theme. You don’t want a heavy metal band at a casino themed night. Below are some fresh themes and entertainment types that go with them. Mexican Fiesta The possibilities with a fiesta theme are endless. This is a great way to incorporate bright colors, bold flavorful foods, and lively music into any event with the use of a Mariachi band or a band that can do Latino covers. The 1950s or Any Decade Really This is a great opportunity to hire impersonators. Who doesn’t love great music from the fifties like Elvis Presley or Billy Holiday? Picture bright pastels, milkshakes, a jukebox, and wide circle skirts. You could transfer the idea of impersonators to virtually any decade. Around the World This is a great way to showcase all kinds of talent. You could hire an entertainer who could sing songs from different countries or even hire cooks who perform and engage with the audience like at a Hibachi grill Great Literature For the academic crowd, a literature-themed party can be fun and intellectually stimulating. You can have people come dressed up as their favorite book characters or have different areas decorated as different scenes from a novel and as entertainment, you could hire a 60-second novelist. These entertainers will ask the guests questions and then write a short story about them. Art themed This is a great way to not only display great works of art but also bring color and sophistication to an event. With this theme, you could book a painter to paint pictures of the event or of the people attending, or you could book someone to teach your guests how to paint a certain picture. This is a fun, hands-on activity for the group. Haunted A haunted theme is a great way to incorporate spooky creative designs and it’s a great opportunity to get the guests involved in a murder mystery. This experience can be enhanced with the use of professional actors, to help keep the guests on the right page and the party going. Journey Through Time A Journey Through time theme allows you to create wonderful displays while pulling through history and could even highlight the different eras a company has been through. You can book a band that plays music from these different eras and can change their music to fit the style of that time. Booking event entertainment isn’t easy, even when you don’t have a theme in mind. However, having a theme can take your event to the next level and help you hire unique entertainment than the standard corporate event entertainment. With a little creative your event can be the talk of Tampa Bay by creating a unique experience and hiring the right Tampa event entertainment.
