Something different
Specialty acts are arranged on request. These five pages are where most people start.
Magicians & Illusionists
Magic works because it happens right in front of you.
Aerial, Cirque & Fire
Some acts change how a room looks.
Comedians, Emcees & Speakers
The person holding the microphone sets the tone for everyone else.
Interactive & Roving Acts
Not every act needs a stage.
Headliners & Recording Artists
Sometimes the event needs a name.
How you see who you are booking
We don't publish names or a catalogue of acts. Once we know your date, your room and your guests, we send you options chosen for that night, which is more use than a long page of names.
Questions people ask
- What kinds of entertainment can you book?
- Live bands, solo musicians and small groups, DJs, singers and vocalists, and specialty entertainment: magicians, aerial and cirque acts, comedians and emcees, roving performers and headliners. Specialty acts are arranged on request.
- Can one booking cover more than one act?
- Yes. A full evening often has several: music for the reception, something to watch after dinner, and a band or a DJ to finish. We plan who plays when, and you deal with one company for all of it. See how we plan the entertainment around your agenda.
- Do you only work in Calgary?
- No. We are based in Calgary and book across Canada, including Banff, Canmore, Lake Louise, Edmonton, Kelowna and Vancouver. Tell us where the event is and we will tell you what we can arrange there.
