Our buying power with celebrity performers and speakers is the foundation for all of our various other services. Buying direct saves you money. We contact the celebrity directly and not through layers of agents and middle buyers. Since we represent you, the purchaser in the process, we have no other agenda than to produce the best celebrity performer for your entertainment dollar.
Most Importantly – we are always uniquely positioned as your advocate throughout the entire hiring and booking process.

Celebrity Entertainment and Talent Buying Consultancy
We are the leading full service talent buyer consultancy and producer of celebrity entertainment and speakers for the corporate and non-profit event industry.
For more than 20 years, we have negotiated with celebrities directly or their personal management and not layers of various agents that add nothing to the value of the performance and work on behalf of the celebrity, representing the celebrity’s interests first, and not yours. Negotiating directly provides you with the absolute best possible fee.
We Hire, Book and Produce Celebrity Performances For Your Event’s Success
Huge Expertise in a Narrow Field. Providing celebrity appearances extends much further than just selecting and producing a great performance. Because we serve the corporate entertainment buyer we have the required professionalism and complete understanding of the various demands of this unique talent buying clientele.
The Promoters Resource
For the experienced or first time concert promoter, we help you get the research and ticket sales data for an artist in a specific market so that you can compare and contrast artist selection and make informed buying decisions. We help you select, hire and produce celebrity level music artists and comedians for publicly ticketed advertised events nationwide.
