<\/p>\n

We understand that booking live entertainment is probably something you’ve never done before and can appear daunting, but don’t worry – here at Entertainment Nation, we’ve done all we can to keep everything really simple.<\/p>\n

\n
    \n
  1. Start Your Search<\/a><\/b><\/li>\n
  2. Send an Enquiry<\/a><\/b><\/li>\n
  3. Secure Your Act<\/a><\/b><\/li>\n
  4. Relax!<\/a><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Step 1: Start Your Search<\/h2>\n

    Please browse the hundreds of exceptional bands, musicians and performers on the Entertainment Nation website<\/a><\/b>, getting an idea of what you think you would like and what would work well at your event. Use the filters to narrow suitable acts down and be sure to enter your event location to get accurate prices.<\/p>\n

    Then comes the fun bit: have a watch of the amazing acts on offer and imagine what it’d be like to have them playing at your event. Every act profile contains everything you need to know about booking that act, including video, audio and all the exciting add-ons to customise the act for your event.<\/p>\n

    If you’re struggling and need inspiration, we are here to help. Give us a shout on our live chat (bottom right of the screen), drop us an email, or pick up the phone – we’ll be more than happy to suggest options and get you a list of ideas together.<\/p>\n


    <\/p>\n

    Step 2: Send an Enquiry<\/h2>\n

    So you’ve found the perfect act(s) and want to check their availability and get a full quote sent over. There are many ways to get in touch, but the quickest and most accurate way to enquire is via the ‘Enquire Now’<\/b> form on the act’s profile. Please fill in as many of the fields as you can, which will enable us to ensure the quote we put together is accurate. We’ll double check the availability of the act and then get you a full quote sent out via email.<\/p>\n


    <\/p>\n

    Step 3: Secure your act<\/h2>\n

    You’ve received the quote, love it, and want to go ahead! We’ll draw up a contract between you and your act, which you both sign electronically. For good measure, please read our Terms and Conditions<\/a><\/strong> prior to booking.<\/p>\n

    We’ll send an invoice to pay the booking deposit through one of the world’s leading secure payment platforms. The rest of the fee isn’t due until around a week prior to the event date.<\/p>\n


    <\/p>\n

    Step 4: Relax!<\/h2>\n

    You’ve signed, the act has signed, and you’ve paid the deposit. All is now confirmed for you. Well done, you’re all sorted and another box on the never-ending event planning list can be ticked!<\/p>\n

    You can discuss the details of the event with us at any time (including any changes you may want to make to timings or the plan). Your act will usually get in touch around 4 weeks prior to your event to discuss everything in finer detail. We’re always here to help so don’t be afraid to get in touch anytime.<\/p>\n

    See, we told you it was easy. Don’t just take our word for it, have a browse through our acts and find out for yourself!<\/p>\n
