When looking for an entertainer you need quality, reliability and someone who will captivate your guests for hours. It can be a hard task to know who will be best for your party when you have never hired anyone before, so here are some important tips to help you navigate your way through the jungle of entertainers out there.

1. Communication: talk to the entertainer before the event to get a rough idea of their energy, spirits and enthusiasm. when you talk to them ask questions to test their knowledge such as how many parties have you performed at before? or how many years have you been in the industry.

2. Look for professionalism throughout the company. If the website is good quality, it is likely that the services they offer are also good quality. Hence, the entertainment will be great.

3. This may seem like a stretch to conclude that an outward appearance of professionalism means that all standards are high and there are no hidden issues. However if high standards are apparent they will usually permeate throughout the business and you can be more assured that the entertainment provided will be high quality.

4. Have an understanding of the type of entertainer you are looking for before you set out on your quest. The more specific you are, the greater the chances you will get what you’re looking for and wont be disappointed on the day.

5. In saying this it is important not to be too strict or limited in which entertainer you choose, purely based on looks. Go for entertainers that have had lots of experience even if they dont look exactly the part. Experience usually makes up for anything else thats lacking and captivating the children is paramount!

6. When talking on the phone to different companies and gathering quotes, ask for some additional information to be sent via post or email as this will help give you something to look at when comparing quotes and packages.

7. Having something written from the company will give you a sense for another aspect of their presentation and management and will allow you to judge their organisation, reliability in following up and how much they value you as a customer.
