What do I Do to Book a Celebrity?
Deciding to book a celebrity for your event involves taking on a massive commitment to organising every detail of their appearance. But first take a moment to establish whether you definitely need to hire one. Hiring a celebrity who has nothing to offer your event will be an expensive waste of time.
Of course, the advice in this article isn’t meant to put fear into you regarding hiring a celebrity, it is just meant to encourage you to be absolutely certain you want and need a famous guest before you commit to paying for one.
Once you are absolutely certain about hiring a celebrity, start thinking about money. Set up a budget and stick to it religiously, otherwise you could jeopardise other preparations for the event such as the catering.
Now, think about the type of celebrity you’d like to have at the event. Depending on the type of event choose from actors, DJs or entrepreneurs. Draw up a list of a few celebrities you are interested in hiring and put yourself in touch with an agency to get the ball rolling.
With the information from your shortlist the speakers’ agency will discuss availability and explain their costs. It isn’t cheap to book a celebrity but with a bit of luck you might be able to negotiate on price. When you have come to an agreement the agency will draw up a contract, you will make payment and you can move on to organising other parts of your event.
It is important to remember that Christmas time is the peak time of year for parties and more people book a celebrity around Christmas and new year than any other time. Always book early to avoid disappointment for you and your guests.
