Tributes, reviews and customized productions are other entertainment options that are currently popular. Some examples include Leonard Neil Productions' Time Tunnel show highlighting entertainment through the decades using live music, dancers and film clips. With an array of dancers, singers and musicians groomed to perform at events, Wayne Foster Entertainment offers personalized and customized entertainment for corporate and social events. Entertainers can be booked for an event directly through the artist or using an agency. A booking agency that offers hundreds of entertainment acts in a variety of genres can be a key tool for event planners, providing suggestions and an in-depth knowledge of entertainment issues such as contacts, riders and artist management.
Many agencies also offer turnkey production services.
Most importantly, agencies can save planners money and handle contingencies and cancellations. Our goal is to find the right entertainment for a particular event and audience. We know the acts and we know the going rate. Entertainment agencies caution event planners to carefully read the rider, which is the part of the contract that includes the artists' personal needs and production requirements and can significantly increase entertainment expenses. The entertainment industry has been a closed business and the Internet is a great place to find out about different artists and book them.
