Our agency regularly works with many entertainers, including solo musicians, bands of all sizes and musical genres, DJ’s and unique ambient (non-musical) artists.

A

As with every other vendor or resource you will use when planning your wedding, you are using an entertainment professional for a reason.

Because booking entertainment is all we do, Entertainment Consultants Florida has strong working relationships with a variety of artists and as a result we have buying power that translates to better pricing.

You might only work with an entertainment artist one time…we work with them all the time and will pass on that savings to you!

Q

How does the entertainment booking process work?

A

It’s simple! You contact us via phone or the contact us form on the website, and we will be in touch with you, most times within hours. We review the important details with you, then we begin our work to find just the right entertainment options & pricing. All consultations are free and with our pleasure!

We will then create an entertainment proposal with multiple options, including promotional material. We will include as much information as possible including the artists’ website, performance video, song list, etc., to help you make your decision.

Once you make your selection we will act as your agent and book them for you.

We use a State Licensed Talent Agency contract for your review and signature. A deposit is required at this time. The contract is sent to the artist for review, along with the deposit, for their signature and you are set.

The final balance to the artist is due two weeks prior to the event so that your day-of-event is free of any further obligation.

Please know that, unlike some agencies, our contract is transparent. You know exactly what the artist is being paid and our agency fee.

Q

How far in advance should I start looking for my entertainment?

click for answerclick to close
A

It is always advisable to book your entertainment as soon as event details are solidified. However, if a fast track is required, we will work quickly to meet your event requirements.

Many entertainers are booked months or even a year in advance, so It is never too early to start the process. The more time, the more options are available to you.

Q

How much should I budget for entertainment?

click for answerclick to close
A

Entertainment pricing is based on many factors such as the size of the group, hours performing, day of the week, etc. We pride ourselves on being able to work within any given budget and we will be honest and fair with you about what your desired talent costs and if we can negotiate a price that fits your budget.

Q

Are there additional costs or hidden fees when booking entertainment?

click for answerclick to close
A

Once you decide on your entertainment and cost, you will learn that most include everything that is needed to perform for you. Our contracts always include “options for overtime” with a price quoted.

We recommend that you offer a dressing room plus meal/beverages for your entertainment. While this may not be included in the contract, we highly recommend it.

Q

How available will Entertainment Consultants Florida be during the booking process?

click for answerclick to close
A

We are available for you from start to finish! Communication is important and we work hard to speak to you personally and email every bit of our process for clarity. Entertainment Consultants is available to you during the entire process, and most importantly, on the day of your event.

Q

What if I can’t find a particular song listed on an Artist song list?

click for answerclick to close
A

When an artist submits a song list, it is meant to be a good representation of the material that they perform, but not everything! Our groups are great at keeping up with the latest songs and we can always arrange to have a specific song performed with advance notice.

Q

What if I can’t find a specific artist listed on your website?

click for answerclick to close
A

We do not list specific artists on our website because we have so many to recommend. However, because we are so connected in the entertainment industry, if you have a specific band that you want us to find, let us know.

We are masters at matching your vision to our artist list and providing entertainment that will fulfill vision.
