7 Ways to Locate the Perfect Entertainer for Your Childs Party

By Hannah Scrivener

When you hire an entertainer at your child's party you want someone who will captivate the children and keep them excited and happy while you relax, talk to friends and enjoy yourself. It can be difficult to assess whether the company you book with will deliver a quality performance but there are a few key signs.

1. Communicate! Make sure you ask plenty of questions when making an enquiry, ask to talk to the actual entertainer who will be attending the event so you can get an idea of their personality, energy and passion. Request to see a picture of them or find out how long they have been in the industry.

2. Look for professionalism throughout the business. If the website is good quality, it is likely that the products they offer are also good quality. Hence, the entertainment will be good quality.

3. It may seem unfair to judge a business's entertainers on intangible qualities like logos or websites but there is a lot of truth in the saying first impressions count. If the first impression is not impeccable then why will other aspects of the business be any better?

4. Talk to your child about the type of entertainer they want, look at pictures on websites and get a sense for how they want the character to look and what games and activities they want. The clearer you are and more precise about what you want, the more likely you will find someone who can give you exactly what you want.

5. In saying this it is important not to be too inflexible or limited in which entertainer you choose, purely based on looks. Go for entertainers that have had lots of experience even if they dont look exactly the part. Experience usually makes up for anything else thats lacking and captivating the kids are crucial!

6. When talking to the party organiser on the phone and gathering quotes or comparing packages ask them to send you more information via email or post so you have something comparable to look at when you are making your decision.

7. Having something written from the company will give you a sense for another aspect of their presentation and management and will help you judge their organisation, reliability in following up and how much they value you as a customer.
