Five Tips for Booking Entertainment!

Do you need to hire star-quality entertainment for your Wedding, Venue or Event? Here are some tips to make finding the perfect entertainment a little less daunting:

1.                 Make sure the agency has vetted all of their Acts. When working with Gloria Miller Entertainment (GME), you can rest assured that each Act on our roster is vetted for quality of talent, professionalism and service.

2.                   Only work with agencies that have updated audio and video samples of their Acts. GME offers a search facility on our website for ease of finding the type of Act you’re looking for, and we have the artists’ most recent audio and/or video demos on their pages, including sample set lists.

3.                 When requesting a quote, provide as much information about the entertainment you want as possible, including your budget. At GME, you can request a free, no-obligation entertainment quote through our website, and by simply filling in the required fields, we’ll have everything we need to give you the best quote possible. If applicable, we will also include the deposit amount due to secure the booking in the written quote.

4.                 Contact the entertainment agency well ahead of your event wherever possible. At GME we have several Acts who are available for last minute bookings, but if you are able to plan ahead we can insure that you get your first choice of Acts; offer ideas for your event; and put together an entire entertainment package, if required.

5.                 Make sure the agency issues a contract for your Wedding, Venue or Event. Once you have decided to confirm your booking, GME will verify all of the details of your event and issue a contract which can either be signed electronically on-line, or you can email or post a signed hard copy to our office.

Week in Review - 6 April 2015

Not much to report on the past week. Just a normal work week in the office getting caught up on paperwork, contracts and sorting out new events.

Thursday was the third heat of Southsea's Got Talent and I just may have to quite judging these heats because the talent is soooooo amazing this year that being a judge is extremely stressful. Sadly, the organizers won't let us put everyone through so we usually have to narrow it down to 3 or 4 people being put through to the semi-finals. We had 9 competitors ranging from solo performers to duos to instrumentalists, even an amazing 11 year old, each one bringing something fresh and unique to their music. We had 4 winners this heat and thankfully, each of the judges agreed on the top 4 performers.

The next heat is 7 May. Get in touch with Ross at The Jolly Sailor, 02392 295195 if you or someone you know would like to enter.

In the UK this past weekend was the Easter Bank Holiday, so I decided to take Friday and Monday off ... from the office at least because I still had gigs on Friday and Saturday! Friday was Motown/Soul Night at Phoenix Community Centre in Crookhorn, and Saturday I was in Horsham shaking my tail feather as Tina Turner at the Lintot. Because of the long weekend, my audiences were well up for having a good time and we definitely did. There was dancing, singing and for the first time ever, more men on the dance floor than ladies on Saturday night at the Lintot. At one point I had 5 guys in front of me singing 'I'm Every Woman' ... that was a sight to see!  Loved it!

On Easter Sunday I was off to the Isle of Wight for some family time with the hubs and in-laws and we had a lovely lunch by the sea. Then on Monday, I really had the day off ... I didn't look at emails or even open my computer the entire day. What?? That was awesome. And to finish off a lovely day being unplugged and had dinner with my good friend, and one of GME top Acts, Marlene Hill for a belated birthday dinner.

Last issue I announced a special offer and the response to the offer has been quite good. I've already booked a few shows on the offer, and only have a few dates still open for bookings. Here's the offer:
