Celebrity and Entertainment Booking - April 2009

As April begins and Easter draws near, many businesses have received their budgets for the coming months. As a result, there has been a number of enquiries coming through from anxious events planners looking to get that big, headlining act tied up for events just around the corner, and those later on in the year. To help with these decisions we’ve outlined some of our recommendations for April below.
We’re often asked to provide price guidelines for hiring celebrities and entertainers. As fees for acts vary considerably according to the specifics of an event, it’s only possible to offer an approximate guide on this. Major pop stars and celebrities can command over £20,000 for private and corporate event appearances. Other television and media stars have fees starting in the region of about £2,000. You can always give one of our agents a call for up to the minute prices for celebrities and entertainers but in the meantime, check out our list below for popular celebrity and entertainment choices for the Month of April.
