Suggested reads about Entertainment

What does entertaining include?

Local entertainers can add a whole other element to your special party, corporate function, children’s party, or cultural event. They can add music, fun, magic, and activities to help create a fun, engaging atmosphere for your guests. Some popular entertainment options 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.

Adult face painting - small cheek/eye design

$250

Abbotsford VIC, Australia

3rd Feb 2024

My name is Jess. It's my leap year milestone birthday this year - meaning I am turning both 10 and 40 years old, because my birthday happens once in every four years! Anyhow, I'm holding an adult's 10th birthday for a 40 year old gal! The theme is Dress as Jess (colour clash, prints and patterns, boho, mix n match etc whatever reminds them of me). There'll be games, pizzas, a bubble machine. Date: Friday 1st March Time: 6.30pm to 8.30pm. 6.30pm start time, 2 hours? As cake cutting at 8.30pm or so. Location: Abbotsford Numbers: There'll be 35 to 40 people coming, so will need to churn through at least 30 of them. Design, look and feel: I would love face painting that has a boho/festival/whimsical vibe. Can be different designs to their liking or they choose from a selection. I imagine some mates would be conservative so perhaps something like below. For the conservative they'd prob just be fine with a dash of glittery paint around the temple area or something. Scope: Given the numbers, I was thinking maybe face painting everyone's outer eyes to the cheek area (temple area?) to make it fast and quick, rather than forehead and whole face? Is that doable within 2 hours? Before Cake cutting at 8.30pm. Also wasn't sure if face painting in that area vs jewels vs chunky glitter paint cost the same? Happy with economical option. See below for inspo via video reel: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cw19TA_oPB9/ or this website from Canada: https://www.glitter-arty.com/adult-face-painting - Due date: Needs to be done on Friday, 1 March 2024

Makeup/face paint for a surrealist themed party costume

$50

Parkville VIC, Australia

14th Dec 2023

I'm going to a party with the theme "Surrealist Spectaculare" and require someone to do some creative and bizarre makeup/face paint for a male costume. I'm not completely sure what I'll be wearing yet but I'm thinking about wearing a suit. I'm flexible on the location but prefer Melbourne inner suburbs. "The characteristics of surrealism include strange images or bizarre juxtapositions, unconsciousness as a valid reality, dream-like artwork or symbolic images, automatism techniques to create random effects, distorted figures or biomorphic shapes, depiction of perverse sexuality, and chance or spontaneity." - Due date: Needs to be done on Saturday, 16 December 2023

Jiyana took on such a unique and creative task with this request and I'm so impressed with the outcome. She managed to include an incredible amount of detail and was committed to a high level of quality :)
