Over-the-Top Event Entertainment Guests Never Forget

Either. Some clients bring us one act to add to a party they have already planned, and some hand us the whole event, from concept to teardown. Which is right depends on what it takes to make the vision EPIC, and that is the first thing we work out together. When we plan the whole event, the entertainment arrives inside a party that is already designed, staffed and coordinated, so it lands in the party instead of beside it.

One celebration ran from daytime into the night: a steel drum band by day and a rock band after dark, color foam, fireworks in daylight and again in darkness, a full carnival ride, celebrity impersonators, stilt walkers, an LED robot, face painting, henna, hair braiding, custom air-sprayed T-shirts, carved fruit art, a dessert cart, a full bar, catered food, massage chairs, and a full stage with a 16-foot LED screen. And that was not the whole list.

As early as you can. The performers we bring in work across the Southeast, so their calendars fill from more than one city, and the acts people ask for most are the first to go. October, December and May through June are our busiest months, so those dates need the most notice. If your date is close, ask anyway; we will tell you honestly what is still available.

Yes, when the space meets the spacing and fire-safety requirements the act works to. Every fire performer needs a set clearance from guests, structures and anything that can burn, and the layout of the party is planned around that clearance rather than squeezed to fit it. If a space cannot give the act that room, it is not the right act for that space, and we will say so.

Fire performers need no permit. Fireworks do in many areas, and the rule changes from one city or county to the next, so the address decides it. It is one of the first things settled when fireworks go on the plan.

Yes. The foam is safe for children and for pets. Dress children in clothes that can get soaked, because they will not want to come out of it.

It depends on the layout more than the size. We have staged over-the-top entertainment on a one-acre lot in a Brentwood cul-de-sac, so a large estate is not a requirement. What matters is how the space is arranged: where the performers can work, where guests will stand, and where the sight lines fall. Send us a few photos or an address and we will tell you what fits.

Yes, subject to the venue’s own rules. Every venue has its own line on fire, foam and fireworks, and those are the acts most often restricted. If you already have a venue, tell us which one and we will work out what it allows before building the plan around it.

It depends on the act. Music, lighting and character performers can move under cover. Fire and fireworks cannot, and wind is the deciding factor for both. Foam and aerial depend on the space. Every outdoor event gets a second plan built in from the start, so the call on the day is which plan runs, not whether there is one.

Any age, because the party is designed for every guest in it. A children’s birthday, a fortieth and a company party each get a different mix, and within one party the acts are chosen so the six-year-olds, the teenagers and the grandparents all have something that is theirs. The beautiful thing about designing the whole experience is that nobody is watching someone else’s party.

Noise is planned per event and per neighborhood, because a fireworks finale in one area and a live band in another call for different timing. Teardown and cleanup are part of the service: the staging, the installations and whatever the foam leaves behind go with us, so you are not the one out there at midnight.

The event. Which acts, how long each runs, how many performers it takes and whether anything is custom-built all move the number, so two parties with the same guest count can land far apart. There is no consultation fee, no design fee and no planning fee; we take a markup on what we source and coordinate. What drives the investment is laid out in our guide to what a luxury party planner costs.
