Why Should I Use a Professional Agency?

This is a very good question. The answer may not be obvious to you right away, but by the end of this section, you should be convinced!

A Proven, 45-year, Track Record

Pick an agency that has a proven track record in the business. For example, Davis Event Group, has been in the business for over 40 years. That should say something in itself. Almost all of our business is referral, which also lets you know that we do good business. Often times your venue location will recommend vendors, and we have many who recommend us!. This is an excellent way to start your research.

We are Professionals

What happens if you book an independent band or DJ, or another group or ensemble and they disappear a week before your event? It has happened! And if you have sent them a deposit, what now? Well, you really have no recourse. If you have booked entertainment with a legitimate agency, you will have entertainment for your event.

Here are a couple of really important questions. Say you have “surfed the net” and found a band or entertainer that looks good. How can you be sure of their track record for special events? Of course they are going to say they have done a ton of private events! How can you be sure that they know the protocol for a special event? And the cost? How can you be sure that you have been charged a fair market price? Professional agencies know what the fair market prices should be, and they know what entertainers understand the private and special event market as well.

Safe, Dependable, Reputable

Independent bands or entertainers may be difficult to reach because they may have other jobs during the day. You won’t spend days trying to catch up with us-and there won’t be screaming kids or dogs barking in the background when you are trying to talk to us!

And-don’t forget-independent bands or entertainers may not be insured. All venues require insurance and a reputable agency will have the insurance required by your local venues.

The Moral of the Story

The moral of this story is – isn’t it worth a little more research to guarantee that you will have professional entertainment that is certain to show up for your event? How will it feel with 500 guests at your gala staring at an empty stage? Or a line of kids at your company picnic waiting for their face painter? You may want to ask yourself this question!
