Corporate Entertainment Acts For Private Events

By Matthew Roberts


When it comes to performing, there are many venues in which a performer can do so. In some cases, corporate entertainment acts entertain members of a board, company employees, shareholders and authorized visitors in a board, conference room or auditorium. One act currently on the forefront of this type entertainment is that of magic acts by well known magicians.

In most cases, those performing at these locations are not always well known artists. In fact, a number of entertainers offer these services free of charge as a method of advertisement. Whereas, there are others whom work for little pay when performing at clubs and restaurants. Most recently, magicians have become very active in performing at companies and corporations.

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.

These performances are often booked by a representative at the corporation or companies which provide and sponsor this type entertainment. Generally, these companies are known as corporate event planners or corporate booking agencies. In other cases, performers may contact a company to provide information and get hired to do a performance.

When it comes to hiring different types of entertainment, there are often a great number of choices. When looking to book a keynote speaker, disc jockey or pianist, it should be noted that these individuals are always in high demand. For, many play opening sessions of a number of annual conferences and conventions. When there is a theme associated with an event, entertainers can often design a custom performance based on the theme upon request.

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.
