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.
Technology can also be beneficial in cases where lead-time in booking entertainment is very short.
On the cutting edge of technology, Leonard Neil Productions offers streaming video allowing clients to view acts over the Internet in minutes. With an eye on trends, audience demographics and the objectives and budget of the event, find an entertainment act that will fit the requirements of the event and the audience. Entertainment options are endless from a juggler to Jimmy Buffet and everything in between including dance bands, cirque performers, look-alikes, magic acts, comedians, and the list goes on and on. With so many options to choose from, the key is to know the audience and the goal of the event. Not only will this narrow down the entertainment options, but it will make for a more memorable event.
