She was calm, professional, organised and fun for 20-25 5-8 year olds. Can’t say enough positive things. Thank-you Louise for taking the stress out of party planning and ensuring everyone had an enjoyable time!

Why hire entertainers nearby through Airtasker?
Need a local entertainer for your next event? An entertainer can take the pressure off when you’re organising or hosting an event. They’ll keep your guests occupied and entertained, leaving you free to mingle, catch up, and manage other aspects of your event. Whether it’s for a wedding, corporate event, party, or community gathering, hiring professional entertainers will help give your guests a good time and be remembered for all the right reasons.
The best place to book local entertainment is on Airtasker. With hundreds of talented performers, we’ll connect you with the perfect entertainer for your special occasion (and budget).

Top Children Entertainer related questions
While a Tasker may be able to accommodate a last-minute booking, it’s still important to put up a task as early as you can. This way, you can choose the right Tasker for the job without rushing. More popular performers may be booked for your child’s party if you inquire later, or the ones available might have higher rates.
This is something that needs to be discussed with your Tasker. The transportation and food expenses differ per location, the scale of the event, and the number of performers. If including the transportation and food expenses is something that you would prefer, it’s best to have it in the task that you put up.
Every children’s entertainer offers a different package. Some will only need an open space where children can gather around for their performance. However, if you want a bigger production with cartoon characters and princesses, you can also discuss with your Tasker what equipment is needed and if they could provide it.
Definitely, besides mobile children’s party entertainment, Airtasker is an ideal place to find professionals with plenty of experience in party planning. You can hire decorators, hosts, or someone who can cater to as many as 100 guests. You can either find a party planner to bring in their team for your event, or you can DIY the party planning and find everything else you need here on our platform.

How to make money with music

How much does a DJ cost?

What does entertaining include?
Music & dancing
Every event needs music, so why not step things up a notch with live musicians and dancers? Stir emotions with a talented bagpiper, traditional drummers, or a folk guitarist and singer. Or get a DJ to mix some of the latest hits and get the dance floor going. Impress guests at your restaurant or party and hire belly dancers to mingle and dance amongst the tables. Your performers will engage the audience, encourage participation, and ensure your guests have an amazing time.
Balloons & face painting
When you’re looking to hire a children’s entertainer, you can’t go past a balloon artist and face painter. They’ll bring their own equipment, tools, and supplies, and get set up before the children arrive at the party or event. They’ll do their own setup and clean up when they’re finished. Your children’s entertainer may work for the whole of your event, or for 30-60 minutes in between other activities.
Clowns & characters
Create a special atmosphere at your next children’s party and make their dreams come true when their favourite characters turn up! A costume character entertainer or clown will do more than just get dressed up - they’ll spend the entire event acting in character to entertain and enchant guests. Characters are also a great way to add fun to your corporate event or even your business promotion!
Magic
No matter how big or small your party or event guests, they’ll love watching a magician perform tricks. Your magician will bring all their equipment and get set up ahead of time, staying in character any time a guest approaches. They’ll do a series of tricks as part of a magic show, which may include disappearing tricks, card tricks, illusions, and more. Many magicians will encourage audience involvement, moving about amongst tables, and requesting volunteers to participate. At the end of the show, they’ll pack everything up, taking care to minimise disruption to the rest of your event.
