Tips for Getting the Most Value
- Bundle Services: OA Entertainment Group offers package discounts when you book multiple services together rather than individually.
- Off-Peak Timing: Scheduling your festival on weekdays or non-holiday weekends may reduce performer rates.
- Longer Commitments: Booking entertainment for extended periods often provides better hourly rates than shorter engagements.
- Flexible Scheduling: Give performers advance notice about timing changes; last-minute modifications may incur additional fees.
- Negotiate Packages: Don't hesitate to request custom packages combining elements from different tiers to match your specific needs and budget.
- Early Booking: Secure entertainment 6-8 weeks in advance for better availability and potential early-bird discounts.
