Booking An Entertainer for Your Event
If you are new to the event planning industry, have had this years ceremony thrown in your lap, or just need a refresher on how to get started booking an entertainer, this post is for you.
Planning an event is a huge undertaking, entertainers should help make the event booking process as seamless as possible but some do not so in that case this post should get you started.
Here are 5 quick tips to booking a professional entertainer for your event:
1. Plan Ahead -
Most high quality performers are booked 3-6 months ahead of time. When approaching entertainment options for your event its best to start early to ensure you secure a professional performer.
2. Get Reviews -
When you start inquiring about possible entertainment make sure the performers that you persue come equipped with testimonials like these, click here. Reviews and testimonials help take the risk out of booking a performer that you have not worked with before.
3. Know Your Audience -
When selecting event entertainment, don’t forget to think about your guests. You want to find entertainers that you and your guests will love. Take the demographic into consideration and make the best choice based upon that information.
4. Be Different -
Not going with the normal entertainment will shake things up a bit. If you always get a magician every year for your event, throw in a comedy juggler this year. If you always hire a live band mix it up with an up and coming DJ. Your guests will appreciate the breathe of fresh air.
5. Stay Connected -
Always make sure you have the entertainer's cell phone number and vice versa. Keep the communication going even after you have booked the performer and signed all the paperwork. It will give you peace of mind and let the performer know they have a direct line incase something unexpected comes up.
