You're planning a big awards dinner banquet. You've secured the caterer with the fabulous 5-course meal, a sizzling-hot band, and the best photographers money can buy - it's shaping up to be a terrific event.
I've heard it time and again from hosts, event planners, and from other corporate entertainment providers - if you don't skimp on the entertainment budget, the evening is much more likely to be a memorable one. Much more so than just providing duck a l'orange and someone that gets on stage only once every other weekend.
Let's put it another way...
Many planners will spend between $30-$100 for each guest's meal, but budget only $3 per person for the entertainment. Why? If it were a show at a club, you'd pay at least $30 for each individual ticket to see a top-notch entertainer. In Vegas, it'd be as much as $150.00.
This is your chance to make your event outstanding - by giving your attendees an experience - not just a night out of the house.
Whether throwing a retirement party, organizing a fundraiser, or hosting a conference, don't just feed their stomachs. Be sure to provide quality live entertainment to feed their funny bone, as well!
Maximize the Evening's Potential
With all this expense to make the evening the best that it can be, why would you undo a lot of your hard work by hiring a "weekend comic" for the entertainment portion of your event - just to save a few bucks? Booking a professional entertainer will make a world of difference to you and your guests.
