A NOTE TO BUYERS Please note that as a general requirement, in addition to the base fee we charge for each artist, ground/air transportation, meals, sound & lights, and lodging are also usually required. Additionally, the artists’ musical equipment such as keyboards, floor monitors, microphones, amps, etc., are also required. This equipment can generally be rented or borrowed fairly inexpensively, if you don’t already have it ‘in house.’ For some of our groups, a local band or particular musicians may also be necessary... and in fact will save you money by providing them. We take pride in making it easy for experienced OR first-time buyers to use our artists and will walk you through each step of the way. After confirming availability of an artist, we will issue a contract complete with full technical and staging requirements, etc. We leave nothing in question and will personally review each detail with you. Celebrity Direct Entertainment and each of our artists will eagerly present several different buying options to you and will help you choose which might be the best fit for your budget, venue, audience and tastes. We do offer packages which are all-inclusive. Celebrity Direct Entertainment works with you to present a first-class event! For a complete promotional packet on any of our artists simply write, call or e-mail us. In addition to biography, photos, set list, technical requirements, etc., we can also provide audio and video samples. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Below, we outline just some of the questions we routinely get each day via e-mail, phone, postal mail and fax. If there is a question you have that isn’t presented here, please contact us and we’ll do our best to answer it for you. Q: What do your music artists charge for their performances A: The answer to this question relies on several factors. Generally, however, CDE has quality national entertainment that is available for less than $15,000, most of which are in the $4000 - $8000 range, with many being less. Factors such as routing and scheduling opportunities, type of venue and event, multiple dates, and audience size are just some of the variables that CDE and our artists take into consideration when giving you a quote for a performance. Often times, different ‘configurations’ of a particular group or act can be customized as well to fit the buyer’s budget - another reason, in some cases, the fee range given has such a variance. This fee range is only to give you, the buyer, a very general idea of the possible base fees. CDE does offer affordable packages and quotes with transportation charges included, and can make those necessary arrangements ourselves. Also, please note that we do have entertainment which is available for less than the figures given.... with national-quality entertainment available in the $500 - $1000 range depending on location! Q: Are interviews for publicity available with your artists prior to the show A: Interviews with radio / TV stations, newspaper, and other members of the media are welcomed. We ask that all interview requests be mailed or faxed to our national office on a company letterhead, and we will coordinate the interview. Because of travel and time constraints, we ask that all interviews be arranged and approved at least two weeks in advance. Q: What type of show should I bring in for my event A: This question varies greatly depending on factors such as type of event, budget allocated for the event, target audience, etc. Fortunately, Celebrity Direct Entertainment has acts perfect for virtually any event ranging from private parties to large corporate events to full scale productions. We work with the artists showcased on our roster page because we believe in the quality of work that they do, and know that no matter the audience or budget they will make the show a time to remember! Q: Will the musician, band, actor or athlete that we have booked be willing to sign autographs for the event sponsors, etc. A: Absolutely! We book only acts that are friendly and easy to work with. Included in most of their contracts is a clause stating that they must sign some complimentary autographs for event sponsors. The entertainers we work with realize they wouldn’t be in the industry if it wasn’t for the fans and sponsoring buyers. Most of our acts also prefer to sign autographs and sell merchandise after performances. We ask you to be specific regarding meet-n-greets, etc. when we are contracting the event so that everyone is clear to what is expected of them. Q: What other tools do you have to help me decide on who I should book A: If you are interested in a particular artist, or need help finding the perfect one, please let us know by filling out our online inquiry form or by contacting us via e-mail or phone. For most of our artists, we have video/audio recordings, photos, complete biographical information, references, and cost comparison sheets - all designed to make your decisions easier! Q: In addition to providing entertainment, can you help plan or execute other facets of our event FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS A: Celebrity Direct Entertainment is a “full-service” entertainment management company and booking agency... so the answer to that question is YES! We can assist with themes, catering, ticket printing, hiring the sound company, arranging travel, hotels, and virtually any other detail that you need covered. Q: Do entertainment management companies and booking agencies need to be licensed Is CDE licensed A: Most states DO require talent agencies to be licensed. Several do not. Celebrity Direct Entertainment is a licensed and bonded talent agency and is regulated by the Florida Department of Business & professional Regulation. Our license # is TA0000705. “Adding a personal touch to the entertainment industry!” 17
