HOLIDAY ENTERTAINMENT BOOKING

Christmas in July? Well, not quite…but Holiday Entertainment is on the minds of many event planners and companies looking to book top-shelf entertainment before it’s too late.

Planning a Holiday Event for your Boss, Company, Country Club, or even a Holiday Wedding takes a fair amount of coordination. Entertainment is a must. It breaks the ice, keeps the party from awkward silence and can put your guests in the frame of mind you are trying to achieve. Holiday entertainment is the second thing that should get booked (after venue selection) securing the entertainment you want at the best price.

Summer Booking for Winter Entertainment is a great idea.

Booking Holiday Entertainment Early is a good idea.

LAST MINUTE ENTERTAINMENT BOOKINGS

As with flying an airline, there were times one could wait to book at the last minute, possibly saving 15-25%. Those days are very few and far between. Booking at the last minute could cost you and your company much more than you planned, sometimes putting entertainment out of your budget all together and forced to ask your co-workers friend’s friend to come in and play a random iTunes play list for your guests.

BOOK EARLY AND SAVE ON ENTERTAINMENT

Many companies, The Amazing Waiters included, are now offering very attractive pricing for early Holiday Bookings, savings of 10-20% on pricing plus a huge savings on production costs if booked in bundles.

LOOK FOR FIT FIRST, THEN PRICE IT

We are all price conscious these days and many more consumers shop before they buy which is a good thing, alleviating sticker shock and buyer’s remorse. Shopping for a great price should be the second thing you do. We recommend to shop for what options seem to be a good fit for your event. Get 2 or 3 options. Then narrow down your short list by getting all the information you need which should always include at least 2-3 live videos of actual shows, a confirmation of how long the show is, the actual price for what you want and a contract stating all the above. It’s not rocket science but keeping things professional and clear will alleviate any discrepancies or confusion in the future.

LIVE HOLIDAY ENTERTAINMENT

There are many entertainment options for your Holiday Event and perhaps one or more will be suitable for your guests, bringing just the right amount of “wow factor”. Live Bands are fun for creating a party atmosphere all through the night. They can then ramp up the music after dinner, creating a great dance opportunity (and photos too) for your guests and their dates. Singing Waiter Entertainment brings a classy element, usually to the dinner portion of the evening, creating the surprise element and band cannot and taking a live performance from the stage to your guests. Strolling Magicians are especially fun if you have a wide age-range, appealing to young and old.
