How much does event entertainment cost? What drives the price

The most common question has an honest answer: it depends. But it depends on specific things, and knowing them helps you compare proposals and avoid surprises.

How much does event entertainment cost? What drives the price

The factors that weigh most

  • Number of performers. A solo artist costs very differently from a twenty-dancer company such as Halcoronsa Dance.
  • Duration and number of sets. One 7-minute set or three sets across the evening change the fee.
  • Technical requirements. Sound, lighting, screens, rigging for aerial acts, staging.
  • Customisation. Creating bespoke content (a drone choreography with your logo, a script built on your story) takes pre-production hours.
  • Travel and per diems. Flights, accommodation and equipment transport.
  • Permits and safety. Drone flights, fire, use of public space, fire crews or security staff when required.
  • Date. December and peak congress season concentrate demand.

What a serious quote should include

Artist fees, technical needs, travel, per diems, insurance, permits and coordination, each itemised. Anything not included should be stated in writing. That's how you can genuinely compare proposals.

How to request a quote and get it fast

The more you share, the sharper the proposal. The essentials: date, city, type of event, number of guests, venue (indoor or outdoor, approximate height) and when you want the show to happen. If you have an indicative budget, share it: it helps us propose the best option within that range instead of showing you something out of reach.

How to get more value from every euro

  • Choose a show that works as both entertainment and brand message.
  • Reuse the technical kit already booked for the event (sound, light, screens).
  • Film the show: the content lives on after the event on social media and internal comms.

Request your proposal via the contact form and we'll reply with options and fixed prices.

Frequently asked questions

Why do two similar shows have such different prices?

Usually because of the technical set-up included, the number of performers, customisation or travel. Always ask for the breakdown.

Do I need to pay a deposit to book?

The date is usually confirmed with a deposit; the terms are set out in each proposal.
