Recruiting Corporate Entertainment Acts For Events

By Matthew Roberts


When it comes to performing, there are many venues in which a performer can do so. In some cases, corporate entertainment acts entertain members of a board, company employees, shareholders and authorized visitors in a board, conference room or auditorium. One act currently on the forefront of this type entertainment is that of magic acts by well known magicians.

During these corporate presentations, most often the performance is either a promotional performance to advertise services, or is paid for by the company. If an entertainer travels from outside the area, most often travel expenses are covered under a contract. Speaking of contracts, it is always important to have a signed agreement or contract from a representative before agreeing to provide a performance. In almost all cases, the intent is to entertain, motivate and increase morale.

Acts doing this type performance are often considered to be playing private events. While there are a variety of performers whom will do so, most often it is comedians, magicians, motivational speakers, musicians, or poets. For, all have the ability to motivate and increase morale among upper level management, shareholders and employees.

When planning on hiring someone during the holidays, it is often best to reserve the performance as far in advance as possible. For, many of those whom perform at corporations also perform at private events, holiday parties and public venues. As a result, many often book up well in advance during the holiday season.

These performances are often booked by a representative at the corporation or companies which provide and sponsor this type entertainment. Generally, these companies are known as corporate event planners or corporate booking agencies. In other cases, performers may contact a company to provide information and get hired to do a performance.

When it comes to different types of entertainment, performances can range from a Keynote Speaker at a General Opening Session to excite and motivate the audience to a pianist playing at conference. If there is a theme associated with the event, the performance is often based on that theme. Regardless, it is important that those performing and those attending arrive at the date and time specified on the invite.

Whereas, in other cases, the entertainment could be a disc jockey who provides pre-recorded music as a back-drop to conversations during a meeting. There are also some companies which will use different types of games to entertain employees and others at these events. Whereas, when it comes to holiday parties, many are paid for the by company and held at various venues from country clubs and restaurants to ballrooms.

Ultimately, most corporations pay entertainers a higher fee than other booking agents. Although, it can often be hard for some to abide by the corporate policy, dress code and censorship which often comes with same. As such, while some feel the higher pay is a good trade off, others prefer to keep performances in public clubs and private venues where there are no such rules and regulations.
