FAQs about hiring Entertainers in Kent

Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore

How to entertain adults at a party?

Live music is the best choice for party entertainment as it’s vibrant and versatile. You can hire musicians to provide ambient background music which still allows your guests to mingle and then ramp up into a more engaging performance when you want your guests to let loose and dance. Live performances in general engage audiences in a way that recorded or pre-scripted entertainment cannot. The interaction between performers and the audience adds a dynamic and personal element to the event. Similarly, the excitement and energy generated by live musicians is unmatched by other entertainers.

How to book entertainment for an event?

Booking live entertainers has never been easier with Encore. Our website allows you to browse through thousands of musician profiles, watch videos of their performances, and read customer reviews to get a better sense of their stage presence and audience interaction. After narrowing down your options, simply submit an enquiry through our website and receive quotes in a matter of hours. If you prefer a more personalised approach, you can also contact one of our experts directly. Simply answer a few questions about your event and preferences, and our team will provide you with tailored recommendations to suit your needs and tastes. This way, you can be sure to find the perfect live entertainment for your event.

Do you tip birthday party entertainers?

You are not expected to tip a birthday entertainer, but it is considered a nice gesture. If you feel that the musician went above and beyond to make your birthday a success, you can tip them anywhere from £50 to £100. In cases where you're on a tight budget, you can tip them less. It's just the gesture that counts, and it's not required.
