How do I know what type of entertainment would best suit my event?
There are many things to consider when choosing the best kind of entertainment for your special event. You should determine the ages of the audience that will be in attendance, their tastes, the goal or purpose of the event and of course what you plan to spend. These things will often narrow the choices quite a bit. We will work with you to provide suggestions on the best type of talent that would suit your particular event to make it a success.
How much can booking a celebrity cost?
The costs can vary from $10,000 all the way to $1 million for a major headlining superstar. Besides the actual fee that the celebrity obtains, you also have to factor in travel, staging, lighting, and more, also known as the artists rider. A celebrity fee may only be $50,000, however once you factor in the rider requirements of travel, production, and all the rest the complete cost can very quickly become closer to $100,000. Make sure you are clear about your expectations when looking to book a celebrity for your event, this way there are no surprises.

Is there an upfront fee to using your services?
There is no upfront fee to using our services. Our fee is built into the price of the talent we book.
Is a deposit required?
A 50% deposit payment is due upfront, when the talent is confirmed and a contract is signed, and the final payment is due prior to the event.
What is a rider for an artist?
The rider is a document for a celebrity with the specific requirements for sound, lighting, band equipment, staging, catering, security, lodging, insurance and more. Some riders can be from 1 page up to 40 pages depending on the celebrity being booked. This is one more reason to have Impact Entertainment as your partner.
