5 Things to Consider Before Hiring Event Entertainment Services in Seattle

If you’re planning a party in Seattle, you’re also probably looking for some event entertainment. After all, what’s a party without some live amusement? To be honest, there’s no shortage of options to choose from. Whatever kind of entertainment you’re looking for, music, acts, or performers- you’ll likely find more than a few choices. But are they all worth it? Read this helpful guide to discover 5 tips for hiring event entertainment in Seattle.


5 Tips for Event Planning in Seattle

The fact that you have many options to choose from can become a problem. What do you pick? Who do you choose and how? Keep these tips in mind when you’re looking for a party entertainment hire- and you should be good to go!


1. Price

Let’s face it, this is the first thing you would look at. You don’t want to be spending huge amounts of money on mediocre service that leaves much to be desired. If you’re paying a considerable amount, you want to get good value for it. This isn’t just about finding affordable event entertainment in Seattle, the entertainment also needs to be good.

Consider the kind of service you’re getting against the price. Are you paying too much for a very basic package? Or does the higher price come with great quality service, extensive attention to detail, and qualified staff? If you’re willing to pay for it, you can find great entertainment services for a price that justifies it.


2. Entertainment quality

Naturally, this is an important factor to consider. Is the entertainment even good? Can it deal with the demands of your event and keep up with your expectations? When you’re looking for the best entertainment companies in Seattle, you’re going to want to check for yourself if they’re as good as they say they are and if they’re the right fit for you.

A pretty easy way to do this is to find some pictures or videos of their events – they’ll likely have more than a few on their website. Some services may also often livestream on their social media pages. Party Baby Seattle also offers custom-created reels for every client to create notable memories- talk about quality! Any tips for hiring event entertainment in Seattle that don’t tell you to check them out for yourself are misleading you. Look up your options yourself before making a commitment.


3. Party theme

Nearly every party has a theme to follow. Perhaps you’re looking for a bright, colorful theme or have a specific costume party in mind. The entertainment you hire for the party needs to align with the theme you have set. Let’s say you’re looking for a birthday party entertainment hire. A children’s party could include something kids would love, such as a bounce house or perhaps a magician’s set.


4. Event size

How big your event is will directly affect the kind of entertainment you go with. If you have a big event, you’ll need things like bounce houses, ball pits, and more. Your party entertainment hire should be just perfect for the number of guests and the size of your event. Hiring too large an entertainment service can become overwhelming for your guests. Hire too few, and you would likely lead to the kids not having enough fun. Look to strike a balance with your party entertainment hire.

5. Check out reviews

Never hire someone without checking their reviews from other customers. Perhaps a service is good at what they do but has a terrible customer interaction process. Maybe they tend to get rowdy and ruin the mood of the party. Or perhaps they are simply really difficult to work with. These are the kinds of things people often forget to check. Check out reviews and only hire someone with a majority of good ratings and positive customer reviews.

Finally, on our list of tips for hiring event entertainment in Seattle: find someone you can trust- like Party Baby Seattle! Don’t take our word for it.
