YOUR PRICE RANGE INFORMATION --

What price range of talent do you want to consider?
This must be above our minimum requirements.
In other words, what is your comfortable talent-fee budget or budget range to pay the fee for an artist/group?
This figure is for "talent fee" only. You MUST have a separate/additional budget for expenses.
A valid, accurate, dollar amount figure is required.

The following examples are NOT valid answers: "TBD", "n/a", "open", "negotiable", "to be discussed", "it depends", "unknown", "???", and other similar non-figure entries.

1. Accuracy is important. An understanding of your talent fee budget allows us to provide faster service for you. Recommendations will be based on your indicated affordability. We cannot recommend artists whose fees are greater than what you indicate here.
For example, if you enter $25,000, we will assume this is accurate and that your budget will not afford a $40,000 artist.
2. If you are seeking a list of artists within a price range, indicate the range. For example, $75,000-100,000.
3. Fees for major names can be $100,000 to $500,000 or more.

   Is this for an artist with a recognizable name or
   for talent whose name is important for you to
   recognize -
   and this figure is $15,000 or less?
      If yes, click HERE.

Is this figure $10,000 or less?
If yes, click HERE.

Is this figure less than $3,500?
If yes, click HERE.

If you entered $250,000 ($1/4 million) or more to pay the fee for a single artist, you are entitled to special V.I.P. service and attention. (Do NOT select if your "talent fee" budget is less than $250,000.) ---
V.I.P. Yes, my budget for talent fee is $250,000 or more. I have additional funds for expenses. No

If you are seeking multiple artists, indicate your total comfortable budget for all talent fees.
For example, "$200,000 for four artists."

The following two answers are optional. If unsure, leave unselected. --

Artists require sound, lighting, staging and sometimes backline (instruments and stage equipment). If the option is available, are you interested in discussing how these requirements can be provided for you?
Yes No

If the option is available, are you interested in considering a complete "turn-key" performance being provided for you? This means for one price we would take care of the artist's fee, travel, lodging, meals, etc., and all of the above technical requirements.
Yes No
Note: Turn-key quotes are determined and provided only after consultation with you.

What are your questions, requests or comments?
Tell us about your event(s)
or what you have in mind.

If your budget is less than minimum amount required for the talent fee as indicated below, please do not use this form. We are unable to provide you with the services you need - and we sincerely wish you success as you seek services elsewhere.

MINIMUM budget levels MUST be met or exceeded. Please do not make a false claim.
The most common false submission claim is confirming a budget exceeds $15,000 for a recognizable name artist, while entering a budget figure less than this amount.

For this company to provide assistance, your talent budget must meet or exceed the following:
   For private, corporate, or school (non-advertised) functions in the U.S. or Puerto Rico:
      for a non-recognizable name comedian, magician, hypnotist, ventriloquist, mentalist, etc. - $3,500 or more
      for a non-recognizable name musical artist. (name recognition is not important.) - $10,000 or more
     for any recognizable name artist/group (musical or otherwise) -
         This means name recognition is important to you (or you are requesting the musical artist by name)
          or the artist has (or has had) a nationally distributed album - $15,000 or more

Note: This does NOT suggest that you can get a big name artist for as little as $15,000. Fees for a personal appearance by a major name can be as high as $100,000 to $500,000 or more.

Note: If you are asking for an artist or group by name because many people recognize the name, your talent fee budget should be $15,000 or more. If you listed a budget figure less than $15,000, such as "$10,000-15,000", please do not submit this form requesting an artist by name.

PLEASE READ THIS:
Is your request regarding a recognizable name artist or regarding talent whose name is important for you to recognize - and your budget is $15,000 or less?
If yes, click HERE.

PLEASE READ THIS:
Is your request regarding a specific musical artist, or whose name is important to you - and this artist is known to have at least one nationally distributed album - and your budget is $15,000 or less?
If yes, click HERE.

Does your budget for talent meet or exceed the above-indicated minimum requirement for the type of talent you seek – and you have a separate/additional budget to cover expenses?

If NO --
click on this "NO" link >>
No. Our budget is not sufficient. I will go elsewhere.

If YES --
click this SUBMIT button >>
(If you are requesting a name that is widely recognizable, by submitting this form you are confirming your budget is $15,000 or more. If your budget is less, do NOT submit this form requesting a national artist. Doing so would be a false confirmation.)

Prior to providing service, we do require information about your event using this simple on-line form.

In most cases, you will receive a quick response via e-mail. So, PLEASE ensure that your e-mail address is accurate. Submit your inquiry and then, after a reasonable period of time, check your mail for a response.

How quickly can you expect a response? During regular business hours, typically within 30 minutes.

We do not take information over the telephone nor do we provide information over the telephone, if we do not have this requested information. Once e-mail communication is established, our telephone number is provided to you.

If your budget is less than the minimum amount that we require, we are unable provide any service or assistance.

We do not send unsolicited mail and do not send mass marketing e-mails. (We are very anti-spam.) We only ask for this information so that we can communicate with and serve you more efficiently.
