The success of any function can often depend on the event entertainment that has been organised. We’ve all been to parties and wedding receptions where the wedding band or wedding DJ has really captured the spirit of the event. Many of these event entertainers establish a reputation through word-of-mouth recommendation, and that is why we have such a varied selection of highly recommended event entertainers.
Thanks to the way Bark works, you don’t have to trawl the internet or ring around a load of entertainment agencies to find what you are looking for. Instead you can read through our extensive list of performers who specialise in event entertainment, and then read up on the reviews that have been left by others who have booked them before. Whether it is bands for hire or kids’ party entertainers, we believe the best judge of their entertainment value is people who have seen them perform, not us here at Bark. As a result, you know that when you book an event entertainer you have discovered through Bark, you won’t be in for any nasty surprises.
As for when event entertainers are needed, well there’s a whole host of opportunities beyond weddings and children’s parties. There’s major wedding anniversaries, corporate entertainers for the office party, fundraising events, engagements, milestone birthday parties and nowadays even divorce parties are becoming popular!
  • From balloon sculpture to clowns, magicians to storytellers, when it comes to kids’ party entertainers, you’ll find we’ve got the lot here on Bark. Kids can be the worst critics where party entertainment is concerned, but with Bark helping you, you can be assured that everyone will have a great time with an experienced children’s entertainer.
  • If you are looking for bands for hire, then look no further. Wherever you are in the country, we have local bands registered with us who will keep everyone dancing well into the night, providing the neighbours don’t mind!
  • For wedding entertainment, you’ve got the choice of wedding singers, wedding bands, or wedding DJs. Check out the feedback left by other Bark users to help you decide which may be the best option for your own wedding entertainment.
  • Maybe you’re organising a surprise party for your parents to celebrate their silver wedding anniversary. What better way to make sure the evening goes with a bang than to book a band or a DJ that will play a selection of songs that were in the charts twenty-five years ago, helping them to reminisce about how and when they first met.
  • Corporate entertainment is also becoming very popular again now that the recession is firmly in the past. Whether it is for a product launch or staff Christmas party, Bark can help you find and book the perfect event entertainment for your corporate ‘do’.
  • Has your son or daughter got an important birthday coming up, or have they just graduated from university? You’d love to throw a surprise party, but are not sure what sort of band they would like. Get together with some of their friends and check out the live bands we’ve got listed here on Bark, so that between you, you can hit the right note.
  • Thanks to Bark, you can expect to receive quality contacts from successful event entertainers, so don’t hesitate to get started with your search. Remember that we are always here to assist you, so if you need any further advice on how to find the best of your local event entertainers, or to get an idea of the cost of a DJ or wedding band, don’t be afraid to ask us.

Charlie The Clown

I have worked in Las Vegas as a birthday party/Clown since 1985. Yes this is my full-time job. I specialize in children’s entertainment although it works pretty well with family audiences! Generally for a party I arrive on stilts, dismount and do an interactive show that includes juggling tricks, magic, plate spinning, balloon twisting and if the situation allows each lesson on fire safety and fire juggling. Sometimes in my second hour I will get into Face Painting as well. I did work for Ringling brothers Clown college as a teacher, Disneyland as a clown on Main Street and also in Circus Circus casino here in Vegas. I am highly accessible, but respond better to text messaging.

a professional

What do you love most about your job?

The honest feedback I get from children and adults. How lucky am I to work in a business where I bring joy to others. Memories are everything and in some cases I have done a child’s birthday party and then come back and done their kids birthday party many years later.

What inspired you to start your own business?

I used to work for Ringling brothers Clown college, Circus Circus and also Disneyland as a professional clown. Whenever you work for someone else you are on their hours and their pay rate. Specializing in birthday parties is much more lucrative and allows me much more free time.

Why should our clients choose you?

Yes there are always cheaper alternatives in almost any business. If you want to get a real professional who has been in the business for many years, it’s worth the difference in rate.

Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.

I do not do online entertainment. If people are nervous, I can do a social distancing party.

What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?

A lot of my parties are outdoors, sometimes I do what’s called a social distancing party. No doubt COVID-19 has been a big threat to everyone. I am fully vaccinated at this point and boosted 3 times.

Jan the DJ, knew how to read the room. I asked him to follow a 80's music vibe for a family birthday party, and he did just that plus more. He was gracious to the crowd and willing to honor music requests providing it kept people dancing and the room light and fun. The crowd in their 60's loved it along with their grandchildren who also danced the night away. When you go online for this type of service, one can feel a bit insecure wondering if they would even show-up. This was not the case with Jan because he is a great communicator upfront. He looked at photos of the venue and room size, he asked about guests and made sure he arrived early to avoid any traffic issues which was a huge relief due to the unplanned presidential visit to Seattle. Jan loves what he does, and it shows. I feared no one would dance (I know the men in my family), however the music was so perfectly suited eventually, they did. I recommend Jan at the Fun Factory for fare pricing, dependability, music arrangement, volume, presentation and a guaranteed good time.

Loved working with Greg and GSD Music Services! Beyond professional and organized! The band was INCREDIBLE! Greg was so communicative and really worked closely with me. We had 7 guest performers for our event, so it was a very complicated production. Greg made it so easy and took so much off of my plate. I would definitely hire them again!

DJ Dan Weisman is a pleasure to work with. He is prompt, professional and personable. I am sure he will be a great addition to our event.
