There are a lot of choices to make when it comes to corporate event entertainment. Not only do you have to decide on when and where to have the event, but then you have to decide on what type of entertainment and determine who it is in your crowd that you are trying to entertain. Of course if it is a corporate event you are looking for clean entertainment but is this a family event or are you just hosting the employees of your corporation. Either way a significant amount is riding on this event because a flaw would make the corporation look bad.
Plan to spend a little more on your corporate event entertainment then you would say for a wedding or for a friendly get together. As unfortunate as it may sound, the clean entertainment costs a little more. To get a corporate entertainer you need someone with at least 30 minutes to an hour full of material that he can keep the crowd entertained and not offend someone. Think about how hard this would be in a diverse crowd.
You do not necessarily have to go with a comedian, which is sometimes the first type of entertainment that corporate events sponsor. There are other mediums such as jugglers and magicians but even they border on the humorous if they are any good. With the combined talent of juggling and comedy you may be on the verge of a more expensive bill.
Then if you have decided that this corporate event entertainment not only needs to entertain the adults in the room but also you have made it a family event, then there is yet another dimension to the entertainment and possibly the price tag. It would be great to sponsor an event where the entire corporate family as well as the family at home. At this point you may be adding more then a magician or a comedian but someone with his own bag of tricks, so to speak, with a lot of accoutrements to entertain the crowd.
Finding just the right corporate event entertainment can be a bit tricky but set up your guidelines before you approach an outside business to handle the booking of this engagement. Most professional entertainers are booked through an agency and they will have the expertise to guide you in the right area after you have decided on what type of entertaining you plan to do.
