Corporate Entertainment Acts For Private 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.

It is even more important to get an early start on booking when it comes to the holidays. For, most artists and performers providing entertainment to corporations also play at other venues. Whereas, many also play private parties at a variety of locations from Halloween through New Year's Eve.

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 hiring different types of entertainment, there are often a great number of choices. When looking to book a keynote speaker, disc jockey or pianist, it should be noted that these individuals are always in high demand. For, many play opening sessions of a number of annual conferences and conventions. When there is a theme associated with an event, entertainers can often design a custom performance based on the theme upon request.

While most often these events hire outside entertainment, there are some in which the employees are asked to participate in a variety of trivia, board and sporting games. When asked to participate in any physical event, it is often advised that employees sign a release form in case of accident or injury. If not, the corporation could be held liable for any medical costs which the employee occurs as a result of the incident.

In most cases, entertainers performing at corporations are paid at a higher rate than those performing in other venues. At the same time, it can often be hard for some individuals to follow corporate guidelines with regards to dress, language and behavior prior to, during and after the performance while on the property where the event is being held.
