What Does Live Event Entertainment Cost?
A transparent guide to where your investment goes and why two seemingly similar events can require entirely different proposals.
Why There Is No Honest One-Price Answer
Your event should determine the proposal, not the other way around
A vocalist performing during a ceremony, a three-piece band carrying an evening reception and a fully curated programme spanning cocktails, dinner and the afterparty are entirely different productions.
The number of performers matters, but it is only part of the picture. Timings, venue requirements, travel, technical production, special requests and the level of creative direction all shape the final investment. Our proposals are built around what your event genuinely needs: no deliberately vague packages, no unnecessary additions and no discovering after booking that the essentials were never included.
Who Is Performing?
A solo vocalist, acoustic duo, live band and multi-act programme all involve different levels of preparation, personnel and production.
- Number and calibre of performers
- Solo, duo, band, DJ or hybrid format
- Additional vocalists and instrumentalists
- Rehearsal and preparation requirements
What Must the Entertainment Do?
Elegant background music, one show-stopping performance and entertainment designed to carry an entire evening are very different briefs.
- Ceremony, cocktails, dinner or afterparty
- Background atmosphere or headline impact
- One focused performance or multiple sets
- Audience, energy and running order
What Does the Event Require?
Timings, venue infrastructure, travel and personalisation can change the scope even when the line-up appears the same.
- Venue sound, staging and technical production
- Special song requests and custom arrangements
- Access, setup and soundcheck timings
- Travel, accommodation, permits and visas
What Every Proposal Makes Clear
No vague packages and no surprises after booking

Questions Worth Asking
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you not publish a fixed price list?
Because a fixed figure without context is rarely useful. We would rather explain what changes the investment, ask the right questions and quote accurately for the experience your event actually needs.
Can you work within a defined budget?
Yes. If you share a realistic entertainment budget, we can recommend where it will create the greatest impact and be honest about what is achievable.
Where is it worth investing more?
Prioritise the moments responsible for changing the energy of the room. The right performer, reliable sound and enough time to prepare properly will matter more than adding acts simply to make the line-up look larger.
What happens after I enquire?
Emily will review the date, venue, audience, timings and atmosphere you want to create. You will then receive a tailored recommendation with inclusions, optional additions and booking terms set out clearly.
