How to find, choose and book brilliant entertainment for any event
Everyone loves great entertainment. Very few people know how to book it.
This workshop lifts the curtain on the mysterious world of hiring entertainment and turns confusion into confidence. Whether you're planning a wedding, a corporate event, a festival, or a community celebration, this is your backstage pass to understanding what really makes booking entertainment for an event work.
Most people start with the same questions. What should we book? How much should it cost?
How do we know if an act is actually any good? Why does every performer claim to be "unique, professional and unforgettable"?
And how do you avoid the nightmare scenario where the entertainment turns up late, underprepared, or dressed like they've misunderstood the brief entirely?
We translate the industry into plain English. You'll discover how different types of acts shape the mood of an event, how to match performers to audiences, and how to tell the difference between genuine talent and very clever marketing. You'll learn why videos matter more than photos, how to read between the lines of reviews, and what questions separate confident bookers from hopeful gamblers.
We also explore the reality of budgets. Not the fantasy numbers people wish were true, but the actual costs behind great entertainment, the hidden extras nobody warns you about, and the smart ways to spend money so it has maximum impact on the experience.
The booking process itself is unpacked without jargon. Contracts, technical requirements, timelines and logistics suddenly make sense, and the whole thing feels less like a gamble and more like a strategy. By the end, entertainment stops being an afterthought and becomes something you can design deliberately, shaping the emotional journey of an event from subtle atmosphere to unforgettable finale.
This isn't a lecture. It's lively, honest, occasionally cheeky and grounded in real-world experience, with live moments that show exactly what great entertainment looks and feels like. Instead of guessing, attendees leave with insight, instinct and the confidence to book acts that genuinely elevate their events.
Entertainment for All is for anyone who has ever planned an event and wondered whether they're making brilliant choices or expensive mistakes. It turns uncertainty into clarity and transforms booking entertainment from a stressful chore into a creative superpower.
