Classical Guitar for your Wedding or Event

A classical guitarist or group is a perfect and affordable way to have live music for your ceremony &  Cocktail hour.
I work with a few of them that have been performing in Southern California since the mid 90’s. All of them have built a great reputation for dependability and quality performance.  Music ranges from classical, wedding songs, standards and flamenco. Extended repertoire includes pop, Latin, Broadway, classic rock, Celtic, Italian, Jewish, and Brazilian music.

The specialty for classical guitarists is performing for out door wedding ceremonies that include a sound system that can run on battery power.

Themed Party Entertainment for events and weddings

Benefit from their wisdom Successful corporate entertainment agencies, like Todd Elliot Entertainment & Event Planning tend to have years of experience behind them, which means that they can easily turn even the most ambitious ideas into a reality. No two events are the same with a great agency, and you can expect them to communicate efficiently enough with all concerned to ensure that confusion never becomes a problem.

Great agencies also only tolerate quality and reliable performers too.

Be as daring as you like:

Some of the most interesting and daring performers in demand today include fire performers, Your guests are unlikely to forget acts like this in a hurry. If you are looking for something more conventional like wedding bands, you can expect to find help with this too.

You may even decide to opt for a mix of outlandish and traditional performers to create a truly diverse event. Brainstorming ideas When you first start planning an event with an entertainment agency you will need to give them certain information.This usually means telling them what time your event will take place, where it will be, how many guests you are expecting and what kind of entertainment you are looking for. If you’re struggling for ideas, don’t worry – events professionals are always able to make extremely creative suggestions that dazzle and inspire awe. Whether you’ve got a firm or sketchy idea of what you seek, you can expect an agency to help you to come up with something that really will inspire your guests.A filtering device An agency can be seen as a filter that leads you to only the best performers. If you try to go it alone, you’re likely to find it extremely difficult to work out who you can trust to put on an exceptional performance. Any performers that they suggest to you are likely to have worked for them before or to have at least used their vast talents to pass an audition. The agency will even look after the contracts on your behalf too as well as directing you to the most interesting, talented and exciting talent around.
