ASKED QUESTIONS
|
Below, we attempt to
outline just some of the questions we routinely get each day via e-mail,
phone, postal mail, and fax. If there's a question you have that isn't
presented here, please contact us and we'll do our best in answering it
for you. Additionally, we will continue to update this section with your
questions so that we can better serve others.
.
| Q:
What do your music artists charge for a performance? |
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 $5000 - $8000 range, with many being less. Factors such as routing
opportunities, type of venue and event, and audience size are just some
of the variables that CDE and the artists take into account when giving
you a quote for a performance. Also keep in mind that in most instances
the buyer will be responsible for transportation, sound equipment rental,
and accomodations for the entertainers -- which is an additional expense.
| Q:
Are interviews available with your artists prior to a show? |
A: Interviews with radio / TV
stations, newspapers, 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:
Can I write to one of your artists for an autograph? |
A: All of the celebrities that
work with us welcome interaction with their fans, and generally will have
no problem signing an autograph for you. Most of our artists will sell
merchandise and sign autographs following a performance, so be sure to
look for them there. For those of you that want to write to them, we ask
that you please send your item to be autographed along with a SASE to CDE's
national office, and we will take care of it. It may not always be an immediate
response, but it will get done! Be sure to check out the merchandise page
for additional autographed items which are available.
| Q:
Can "so and so" come perform in my town? |
A: We can almost guarantee that
if he or she hasn't already performed there, they most certainly would
love to! However, when asking this question please keep in mind that bringing
a show to your town requires coordination of many different parties; such
as an individual or organization to spearhead the campaign to get the act
there, sponsors (radio stations, etc.), venues, and many others. If you
or someone you know would like to get one of our acts to "your town," please
send us as much information as possible, and we'll do our best to make
it happen!
| Q:
What type of show should I get for my event? |
A: This question vearies greatly
depending on factors such as type of event, budget allocated for the event,
the target audience, etc. Fortunately, Celebrity Direct Entertainment has
acts perfect for virtually any event ranging from private parties to large
corporate events to full state productions. We work with the artists showcased
on our roster page because we believe in the work they do, and know that
no matter the audience or budget they will make their show a time to remember.
| 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 the inquiry form or contacting us in any other way.
For most of our artists we have video/audio recordings, complete biographical
information, references, and cost comparison sheets - all designed to make
your decisions easier!
| Q:
What other services does Celebrity Direct provide? |
A: Many! We provide web hosting,
website design, promotions, audio/video duplication and transfer and much
more! We also provide printed tickets to many of the nation's largest venues.
Whether your venue is small or large, we can provide professional, barcoded,
and numbered tickets with hologram for just pennies each. It's one of our
'unsung' services that have helped venues save money for year! Make to
click the links in the left-hand column to learn more or call one of our
representatives today!
| Q:
Do you have to be licensed to book entertainment? |
A: In most states, yes! We are
a licensed and bonded talent agency, regulated by the Florida Department
of Business and Professional Regulation. Our talent agency license is TA987. |
