TIP OF THE DAY
Important Tips for Better Entertainment Events

Always request that the wait staff not clear dishes during an after dinner show. It is a major disturbance for your guests.

Keep things moving along throughout the event. Often people are done eating and just sitting and waiting for things to happen. Dessert shows can work great to keep the evening moving along.
Try not to have a break between your meal, program, and entertainment. Keep things moving and flowing. Once people get up and start moving and talking it is hard to get them sitting back down and refocused. Things should be ready to go and the act all set so they can jump on stage and keep the evening flowing.

Make sure you have a strong MC. Try to have someone who is energetic and articulate do the MC work for your event. It makes the night a whole lot better for your guests.

Allow enough time and space for acts to set up and perform properly. Professional entertainers will want to arrive and set up and do sound and light checks prior to your guests ever entering the room.

Even if you have a committee selecting entertainment, have only one person act as a contact for the entertainer prior to the day of performance and the night of the performance. Things tend to get mixed up when three different people are telling the performer three different things.
Lastly, choose the right entertainment!
