We’re the UK’s fastest growing venue booking entertainment agency! We have access to one of the largest selections of performers available. Our choices of entertainers have been fine-tuned over nearly a decade to offer only the very best and most highly regarded entertainment.
We work closely with some of the biggest entertainment and leisure companies nationwide. Dealing with companies of this size on a weekly basis means that we have to be extremely competitive, show constant professionalism and above all else offer the right service, at the right price with exceptional reliability and unquestionable quality.
We excel in both large and small scale event management as well as providing the very best DJ’s and general entertainment for private functions such as weddings, corporate events and private parties. We can also give you the customer the most important thing in these harsh economic times – FREE ADVICE. If you are booking live entertainment for the first time then we will help you to choose the right act(s) for your event and guide you through the whole process. You will receive a clear and concise booking confirmation with the key points highlighted so you’ll never be left wondering what the next step is.
Why use an Entertainment Agent?
Often people will ask, isn’t it cheaper to book an artist directly? Why should we use an agent? We are here to negotiate the best possible price for YOU. Our company books entertainers on numerous occasions throughout the year and we use this purchasing power to enable you to get the very best act at the most affordable price. Most importantly, booking through an agent gives additional contractual safeguards which can be invaluable if things go wrong.
Our confirmation contracts constitute a comprehensive, legally binding agreement between you the client and the act, helping to ensure that nothing is left to chance and you can relax and enjoy your event rather than worrying if the entertainment is going to turn up. If the worst happens and the act has to pull out through illness or other unforeseen problem, we will work hard to find you an appropriate replacement performer, even at the last minute. In these rare cases when something goes wrong, as an objective third party we will do all we can to mediate and rectify the situation.
Only the very best and most highly regarded entertainment
