Corporate Entertainment Acts For Private Events

By Matthew Roberts


When it comes to entertainers, there are often a number of different venues at which these individuals perform. For example, there are some whom provide Corporate Entertainment Acts for private events. Whereas, there are others whom perform at birthday parties for children, clubs, restaurants and other venues.

When hiring entertainers through event planners or booking agencies, it is important to contact the planner or agency as early as possible prior to an event. In some cases, the company will provide information as to the type of entertainment desired. In others, an event planner or booking agent may recommend a variety of different type of entertainers. In either case, there are often fees associated with the event planning company or booking agency in addition to fees charged by the entertainer.

Whether considered to be playing a private event, conference, convention, fair or festival, these individuals are often in high demand. As a result, it is often advised that those looking to book this type entertainment do so as early as possible in the process. For, it can often be difficult to find the type of entertainer a company desires at the last minute.

If looking for an entertainer to perform during the holidays, it is often advised that booking agents and company representatives do so well in advance of the date requested. For, entertainers of all types often book up early during this time of year. As such, to assure obtaining the type of entertainer and performance desired, it is always best to get an early start.

Many of these performances are booked by booking agents from local corporate event planning firms or booking agencies. As such, there is often a fee associated with the firm or agency in addition to the entertainer. Whereas, if the company were to hire an entertainer on a contract or freelance basis, no such fee would be required. As a result, contract and freelance entertainers are often paid at a higher rate.

Entertainment at some of these events can include different types of board, sports and trivia games. In events where individual participation in sports related events is a part of the process, it is often good to have employees sign a release form in case of accident or injury. Whereas, when working with a performer, it is often advised that a contract be set up between the company and entertainer as to date, time, place, policy and payment.

When it comes to birthday parties, holiday parties, weddings and other events whether in private homes, hotels, restaurants or theme parks, performers often work with a verbal agreement and advance payment. While this is the case, when working with companies, corporations, event planners or booking agencies, it is always advised that performers request a contract. It is important the contract include the agreed upon pay rate, along with everything that is expected of the entertainer at the time of the performance.

In most cases, corporations are going to pay entertainers a much higher rate than that of clubs, restaurants and other venues. While this is the case, the rate may vary depending on whether or not the individual is entertaining on a contract or freelance basis or through an agency. For, if a company does not have to pay agency fees, performers are often paid at a higher rate.
