Consider your event’s theme and the atmosphere you want to create. Each Specialty Act offers a different kind of entertainment.
Safety is a top priority. All performers are trained professionals who adhere to strict safety protocols.
Many Specialty Acts offer customization options, from costumes to the type of performance, to better align with your event’s theme and timeline.

When planning an event that aims to be not just memorable but also energetic, Party Starters are your go-to entertainers. This entertainment concept was specifically designed to kick off your dance floor and sustain that high energy for an entire hour. Their primary role is to get everyone on the dance floor, dancing and having a great time.
As you plan, you might wonder which type of Party-Starters you can add to your event. J&G Entertainment offers a variety of options:
The ideal group of performers for a balanced and dynamic entertainment experience would consist of 2 dancers, 1 drummer, and 1 stilt walker. However, the number of performers you’ll need can also depend on the size of your guest list. A larger audience may require additional performers to ensure that the energy and engagement are evenly distributed throughout the venue.
Start with at least two dancers and consider adding additional performers like drummers, stilt walkers, or LED robots to enhance the experience.
Schedule the Party Starters to start when the party is in full swing and guests are ready to let loose on the dance floor.
Request specific costumes, props, or music to match your corporate party theme and create a unique event tailored just for your company.
Ensure a seamless transition between performances and keep the energy going by sharing the Party Starters schedule with your DJ or band.

It’s suggested to coordinate with your DJ to select the type of music that best suits your guests. An expertly curated music track can also be provided if needed.
Budgeting for entertainment is a critical aspect of event planning. The right entertainment can elevate your event, but it also needs to align with your financial parameters. A well-thought-out budget ensures you can afford top-notch entertainment without straining your finances.
Different performers come with varying price tags. Specialty acts like fire performers or aerialists may have a higher base price due to their unique skills and equipment.
The length of the performance directly impacts the cost. The base pricing covers a specific time frame, and any extension will incur additional charges.
The cost increases with the number of performers you hire. However, it’s essential to match the number of performers with the size of your guest list for an optimal experience.
If you require a specific costume that needs to be specially made for your event, this will add to the overall cost.
The distance to your event venue can affect pricing due to potential travel fees.
Decide which types of entertainment are crucial for your event’s atmosphere.
Contact performers to understand the base pricing and any additional costs you might incur.
Set aside specific amounts in your budget for each type of entertainment.
Always scrutinize contracts to understand what is and isn’t included in the base price.

When engaging with a professional entertainment company for your corporate event, it’s crucial to have a clear and comprehensive contract in place. Here’s what you should expect to see in a well-drafted contract:
This section should clearly detail the services the performers will provide. Whether they’re greeting guests, performing a specific act, or engaging with the audience, every aspect of their role should be outlined to ensure there’s no ambiguity.
The contract should specify the exact duration of the performance. This includes clear start and end times, and any scheduled breaks or intermissions the performers might take.
A transparent breakdown of the payment structure is essential. This should cover the total fee, any initial deposit required, the due date for the final payment, and the accepted modes of payment.
The terms for canceling the service should be laid out clearly. This would include any penalties or fees associated with canceling close to the event date and the latest date by which a cancellation can be made without incurring extra charges.
Most contracts have some room for negotiation. Always read the fine print and discuss any terms you’re uncomfortable with.
The contract should specify backup plans or refunds in case a performer can’t attend.
Contracts for outdoor events should include a clause that outlines a backup plan in case of rain or other adverse weather conditions.
Performers should have liability insurance to cover any accidents that may occur during the event. This protects you, the performers, and your guests.
