Booking entertainment for your business can be a daunting task. With so many different types of acts available, it’s hard to know what questions to ask and what types of entertainment to choose. To make sure you get the perfect performance for your event, here are five important questions to ask when booking entertainment.
1:What type of performance would best fit the event?
The first question to ask is what type of performance would be best suited to the event. Are you looking for something interactive, like improv or stand-up comedy? Or perhaps a more classical performance such as a string quartet? Knowing what type of performance would work best can help narrow down your search and make sure you pick the perfect act for your event.
2: How much does the act cost?
Cost is an important factor in any decision. Make sure to ask about the price of the performance and any additional costs, such as travel and or accommodation for the Artist/s. This will ensure that you stay within your budget and find the best entertainment for the money.
3: How long is the performance?
Another important factor to consider is the length of the performance. Depending on the type of event, you may need a certain number of hours or minutes of entertainment. Ask how long their performance typically lasts so you can plan accordingly.
4: What do we need to provide?
Finally, find out what you need to provide for the performance. Does the act need any microphones, instruments, or staging? Will they need you to provide any special equipment? Make sure you have all the necessary items ready before the performance so you can avoid any unnecessary headaches.
5: What is your set-up and set-down process?
It's important to know how the act will prepare for their performance such as if they require rehearsal or a sound check time set aside prior to their performance. Additionally, if you are having a multi-day event, make sure to find out how much time it will take for the act to set up and break down each day. This will ensure that you have enough time for the performance and that everything runs smoothly.
These five questions are just some of the things you should keep in mind when booking entertainment for your business. Thinking through these issues can help make sure your event is professional and memorable. Good luck!
