How to choose entertainment and attractions for your event

Start with your guests and the experience you want to create. A roaming magician, a children’s activity and a staged show need different spaces, schedules and support. Compare what each professional will provide and what you or the venue must arrange.

Match the entertainment to your audience

Describe your event type, guest numbers, age range and preferred atmosphere. Decide whether guests will watch a performance, join an activity or meet entertainers as they move around the venue.

Mention languages, accessibility needs and any content preferences. For children’s activities, agree age suitability and who provides supervision; a performer’s presence does not automatically include childcare.

Plan performance times, sessions and queues

Share the programme, including arrivals, meals, speeches and other performances. Confirm act length, number of sessions, breaks and how many guests can participate at once.

Allow time for setup, sound checks and removal. For face painting, games or VR, discuss waiting times and queue space so activities do not block entrances or other services.

Check the venue and outdoor backup plan

Confirm available floor area, ceiling height, access, loading arrangements, power and sound requirements with both the venue and professional. Check whether equipment, a stage or changing space must be provided separately.

For outdoor attractions, agree weather limits and an alternative, rescheduling or cancellation arrangement. Fireworks, drone shows and specialist acts need a site-specific feasibility check and confirmation of relevant venue conditions and approvals before you commit.

Agree equipment, staffing and responsibilities

Ask who installs, operates and removes the equipment and who manages guest participation. Confirm any age, height or other participation requirements, along with the venue’s operating conditions.

Identify a contact for the event day and coordinate with technical staff, security or your planner where needed. Agree practical arrangements in writing, including supervision and what happens if a session cannot go ahead.

Compare offers and write a useful brief

Check performance or operating hours, equipment, staffing, travel, setup, removal and applicable taxes. Ask about extra sessions, overtime, weather changes and cancellation terms before accepting an offer.

Questions about entertainers and event attractions

What should I include in my entertainment request?

Include your country, city or venue, date, event type, guest numbers, age range and approximate budget. Describe the activities or performances you want, available space, indoor or outdoor setting, schedule and any language or accessibility needs.

How do I choose between a show and an interactive activity?

A show gives guests a shared moment at a scheduled time; an interactive activity lets them participate, often in smaller groups. Consider your programme, guest ages, space and whether everyone needs to take part at once. Ask the professional which format suits your event.

Can I request entertainment for children?

Yes. You can include children’s entertainers, inflatables, face painting, balloon artists, mascots or games. Confirm suitable ages, participation conditions and who will supervise children with the professional before booking.

Can I request several activities in one request?

Yes. Include several entertainment services and any related venue, music, technical production or staffing needs in the same event request. Specify the schedule and space available for each activity.

How much time and space should I allow?

Ask the professional for setup and removal time, performance or session length, capacity and space requirements. Some acts also need ceiling clearance, queue space, power, sound equipment or a changing area. Confirm these details with the venue.

What should I check for outdoor entertainment?

Agree suitable weather conditions, site access, ground conditions and any equipment or power requirements. Confirm the alternative plan and rescheduling or cancellation terms if conditions prevent the activity from going ahead.

Can I request a fireworks or drone show?

Yes, you can describe the spectacle you are considering. The professional must confirm feasibility for your location and date, site requirements and relevant approvals. Do not assume that every venue or event can accommodate one.

What should an entertainment offer include?

Check the act or activity, duration, number of sessions, team, equipment, setup and removal. Confirm travel, applicable taxes, extra charges, responsibilities, payment conditions and cancellation terms directly with the professional.

Does PlanEvents organise or supply the entertainment?

No. PlanEvents connects event organisers with relevant professionals across Europe. Creating a request is free. Interested professionals can contact you directly; you agree availability, offers, bookings and arrangements with them.
