the prestige of a celebrity guest at an event is without question value is a different matter because the cost of booking a celebrity varies enormously and organisers should look closely at a number of factors:
lots of questions with answers that require careful consideration and evaluation!
celebrities from the music industry
a number of celebrities from the recording world undertake private engagements other than concerts and touring comittments
be prepared for a big fee requirement and an extensive set of terms and conditions as this is a pre requisite to securing their services
the prestige can be worthwhile but there is a tendency for the evening to revolve around the celebrity - with careful planning and experience this can be less hassle than it first appears
new names come to the forefront largely as a result on tv opportunities followed by a wider exposure through theatre tours
celebrities from the world of comedy
the choice for clients when booking celebrity comedy is either a long established name with a well proven reputation or a new name who has adapted their act to suit the world of corporate and private events
some comedy celebrities have a speciality side to their performance, others are great story tellers and speakers and others are joke tellers
not all celebrity comedians undertake private engagements
celebrities from the world of sport command huge fees for endorsements and personal appearances but there are guidelines - the main one being the "currency" of the celebrity sports person
celebrities from the world of sport
a recent gold medal olympian athlete commands more than his or her eqauivalent from years past
much demands on what is required and the way the individual is required especially if ongoing media exposure is involved - it's a tricky world to enter
although rarely used outside the world of films, television and the stage our best actors and actresses undertake commercials but have no real role in the corporate world from a performance viewpoint unless as invited guests to a specific function - this is understandable by way of their preferred performance mediums
soaps
some of the leading names in the world of soaps do undertake private engagements in the way of personal appearances - quite a few were originally known in the role of comedy entertainers
important note
we are only able to offer the facility of celebrity bookings through our connections within the entertainment industry and in most cases by negotiation and agreement with other organisations directly involved with the management of the celebrities concerned
we do not represent celebrities and work on the basis of negotiation on behalf of clients to secure to secure the best available terms
we are unable to deal with celebrity enquries from the media or public fan clubs and other related organisations
