Finding entertainment that’s full of variety and fun for all ages doesn’t have to be difficult. You just have to know where to start!

First, you’ll want to determine what your event needs. For small celebrations, strolling performers are a popular option for creating a fun atmosphere. For bigger gatherings, carnival games and inflatables are a big hit! Once you’ve determined what type of entertainment to book, search online for professionals in your area. Most entertainers and vendors have online profiles that show their services, and many offer various party packages to fit your budget. Check out performance descriptions and photos, and if possible, read through reviews from their past clients. When you’re ready to contact an entertainer for their rates and availability, make sure to give them as much information about your event as possible. Discuss important details such as performance space, power supply, expected number of guests, and any unique aspect of your event. The more info you give the professional, the easier it is for them to provide a customized quote. Lastly, confirm the agreement and details in writing. With GigSalad, everything you need to find and book family entertainment is in one simple platform. Browse profiles, get free quotes, and book with the added security of our Worry-Free Guarantee!
