~Chris D., Indianapolis Regional Mngr.
Celebrations Entertainment Services.

What our agents & consultans can do for you.

We recieve calls and emails all the time from folks who are unsure of exactly who we are, what we do.
The two most common misconceptions are ;
1. We'll help singers and performers get a record deal or make them famous.
and 
2. You don't need an agent to "find" entertainment for you.

First, what we offer our entertainers:

• Full time representation from our trained staff,
• dedicated phone and email contact with regular office hours,
• a strong web presence and advertising,
• Niche marketing and dedication to highly specialised forms of entertainment;    (ie; Celebrity Impersonators, Tribute Bands, Singing Telegram performers, and novelty entertainers)
• full attention and understanding of each artists and performers requirements and needs.

  *artists, performers, entertainers and bands seeking representation should email promotional items to  info@CelebrationOfStars.com   for review.

Secondly,we offer our clients:
Professional, top-of-the-line entertainers and bands
& a dedicated staff available to handle every detail of your event.

Frequently asked questions clients may have about our services:

Why is using an entertainment agency a good idea when booking entertainment?

 

Entertainment agencies are necessary for a number of reasons, but the main one is that our clients want their entertainment to be well, entertaining. In most cases clients are looking to hire entertainment for special events such as concerts, festivals, weddings, company parties, birthday parties, etc. You only get one chance to make these types of events go well and as a non-professional buyer of entertainment you would want to know what we know.

 

 

 

What do professional entertainment agents know that I cannot find out on my own?

 

An established entertainment agency employs professional agents that work closely with both clients and individual entertainers on many events over an extended period of time. This gives agents an accurate and historical perspective on each and all of the entertainers that they represent. Agents know how well clients and their audiences have received individual entertainers in the past, how appropriate their services are for specific types of events, the average price of an individual act, what services should be included for the price paid, how professional an entertainer is and if you can rely on that entertainer to show up at your event. This professional and unbiased information is simply not available anywhere else.

 

 

 

What does an entertainment agency do for me besides giving recommendations?

 

Our agency has ongoing relationships with our entertainers, enabling them to negotiate better prices and more favorable terms than individual buyers can usually obtain on their own. Many of the acts we work with are exculsivley represented by us. And yes, we can often get our customers better prices than they can get if they book direct. In addition to saving clients money, agents also save their clients time by showing them several comparable acts within a set budget and with confirmed availability. This allows clients to compare and shop for the act that best fits their needs quickly and efficiently. Last and arguably the agent's most important job is to control the booking process. Agents work out the final details of each agreement, make a reservation, and issue non-biased third party contracts to both the entertainment and the client. Agents will then do the business follow-through to make sure that contracts are signed and kept on file, the deposit is paid, the booked entertainment shows up at the event and that the entertainment is paid for their services.

 

 

 

Ok, say I decide to work with an agency, why would I want to work with Celebrations Agency?

 

We have been doing business in the Southwest Ohio since 1998, we book over 1500 local events yearly, have access to most national and international acts, provide an exceptionally high level of service and we cost nothing to the buyer.

 

 

What do you mean your services cost nothing to the buyer, who pays your fee?

 

We make money by charging the entertainers a small percentage commission on each booking we make for them. They pay us to represent them, find them work and to take care of the business details associated with each event we book for them. If we never book their services we don't charge them anything.

 

 

 

I have heard that some agencies do something called buy-sell, what does that mean exactly?

 

Buy-sell is an evil way that many agencies rip-off both their customers and the entertainers they represent. Buy-sell means that the agency sizes up the customer and decides what they think they can afford based on where they are having their event, what kind of car they drive, etc. Then they tell the entertainer that the customer can't afford the normal price and attempt to drive down the entertainer's price. To keep this hidden from both their clients and entertainers they make separate contracts, one for customers and one for entertainers. This often results in 50-100% commissions to the agent that both the entertainers and clients pay for. Celebrations Entertainment abhors this practice, issues the client and entertainer the same contract, charges the client nothing, and charges a reasonable commission to the entertainer.

 

 

 

Celebrations Entertainment Services & Celebration Of Stars Tribute Shows just makes a complicated, time consuming process simple and easy, allowing our clients and customers to relax and enjoy the show.

CelebrationOfStars.com , Celebrity Impersonators and Bands available throughout the midwest.

Celebrity Impersonators are people who look like celebrities; they dress and behave like celebrities for entertainment purposes. Other terms that are applied to refer to impersonators include lookalikes, tribute artists, impressionist, etc... Today there are thousands of impersonators across the US and around the world. Celebrity impersonators keep the memories of the celebrities alive by dressing, behaving, singing, and talking like them on stage and during other performances. They bring celebrities who are no longer with us alive, and and a chance to be closer to "living legends" than otherwise possible.  One of the most widely imitated celebrities is Elvis. Certain sources announce that there are well over 25,000 Elvis impersonators in the US alone. Though this looks like an exaggerated figure, we shouldnt be surprised if the number of Elvis impersonators match the suggested figure or even exceed this number taking into consideration the popularity enjoyed by this celebrity.

Celebrity impersonators rule the world of on-stage entertainment and they are equally popular in television shows as well. No matter how many times we watch these celebrity impersonators, it always amazes and it never ceases to entertain us. It is the ability of the impersonator to imitate the celebrity that grabs our attention. They manage to capture every little mannerism of the celebrities that they try to imitate. Above all, they also mimic the voice of the celebrity and you can easily mistake them for the celebrities themselves.

There are thousands of celebrity impersonators in the US, each one of them possessing a special talent. These impersonators are known for their creativity. However, like in any other industry we cannot expect all the celebrity impersonators to have the same talents. Some of them are indeed better than the others. When searching for impersonators for a corporate stage show, a tradeshow, or a private event we would want to hire the best celebrity impersonators and not some mediocre group. It is just not about the physical similarity; impersonation is about ultimately becoming that personality that they imitate. It requires a lot of training and observation. The impersonator perfects himself gradually and becomes better day by day. So we can easily differentiate between someone who has great experience in performing on stage shows and someone with limited experience. 

You can find the  best celebrity impersonators in the midwest with with with Celebrations Entertainment/Celebration of Stars Tribute Shows. They have celebrity impersonators and tribute bands available in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan, and most are available to travel nationwide. They have been in this industry since 1998. They have enjoyed great success, and they have an enviable list of clients. They have a highly talented group of impersonators and lookalikes. They are a one-stop-shop for all your entertainment and stage show needs. They have bands, cirque acts, comedians, impersonators, magicians, production shows, showgirls, kids entertainment, singing telegram performers, and more! They have experience in providing talents for parties, casinos, corporate events, stage shows, fairs and festivals, etc.

Their popularity has taken them all over the US, Canada, and even many international shows. This is a highly competitive field and not everyone can hold the fort so easily and shine.

One really needs to be at their best and the "Celebration of Stars" entertainers and everyone involved at Celebrations Entertainment Services have enjoyed this status since 1998 and their popularity continues to increase day-by-day.

"What is a Singing Telegram?" and other FAQ's

Q: What is a Singing Telegram?
A: Singing telegrams are a hilarious way to send a message or greeting that is a lot more fun than sending a fax, email, instant message, text, or greeting card.
Why send the same ol' boring cliché gift? We'll be happy to send someone over to sing, dance, or act out your message to the recipient. They'll even dress up to do it; anything from a tux and top hat to a gorilla suit, or a celebrity impersonator! Most performances are also delivered with a balloon bouquet or other gifts! Think of it as a mini-show that will bring laughs into the workplace, home, public engagement or party, and leave the recipent with a smile, an unforgetable memory, and fun balloons or another great gift (roses, teddy bear, etc..)
(see the bottom of this blog for a brief history of Singing Telegrams)
Q: How long does a Singing Telegram Performance last?
A: Performance times vary from five to fifteen minutes depending on the character. However, Our performers will always allow a little extra time after the performance for photos, mingling, and fun. And being experienced improvisers, they're happy to joke around with a willing audience!
Q: Can you handle "same day" orders for the time I request?
A: Yes we can, if the order is placed early enough in the day. However, if our schedule is very heavy or you place an order later in the day you may have to be flexible on the time. (please allow plenty of time for traffic, weather, etc..)
Q: Can I get a copy of the song or telegram?
A: Yes. Most performers deliver a writen or printed copy of the message or song. If Your character doesnt, you will be told prior to placing your order.
Q:DO You Have Other performers and acts not listed on your site? 
A: Yes. There are more choices than we have room to list!We have singing telegram performers throughout southwestern Ohio, central Ohio, northern Kentucky, and Central and Eastern Indiana. We also have Celebrity impersonators, tribute bands, and other entertainers available for travel nationwide! However not all performers are available at all locations and not all acts are available to travel. Please call for details and we'll help you find the perfect performer for your event.
Q: Can your singing telegram performer bring extras like a cake or flowers and such?
A:  In most situations we can easily accommodate your requests. As long as it isn't too outlandish! Additional fees would also apply.
Q: Is a Singing Telegram just for birthdays or Valentines day?
A: No. They are great for EVERY OCCASION & EVERY EVENT! Birthdays, Graduations, Get Well, Anniversaries, Happy Retirement,Congratulations, Going Away Parties, Welcome Home, Weddings, Holidays, and Even for no reason at all!

A brief History of the Singing Telegram:

George P. Oslin, a Western Union executive, created that durable art form, the singing telegram, in the year of 1933.
Mr. Oslin is credited with sending history's first singing telegram -- sung by a Western Union operator named Lucille Lipps -- to the star vocalist Rudy Vallee on July 28, 1933, which was Vallee's birthday.
At that magical moment, Mr. Oslin was the public relations director of Western Union, then based in New York. He held the post for 35 years, retiring in 1964.
In an interview after he died, his wife, Susanna Meigs Oslin, noted that by the time Lucille Lipps sounded her first note, telegrams had come to convey mixed associations. During World War I, Mrs. Oslin noted, ''To a lot of people, the telegram was a scary thing because it meant you were being told you lost a loved one.''
And Mr. Oslin recalled in 1993 that back in 1933 he had thought that he had to convince people ''that messages should be fun.'' But he reported in his book ''The Story of Telecommunications'' (1992, Mercer), that when he invented the singing telegram, ''I was angrily informed that I was making a laughingstock of the company.''
Mr. Oslin also liked to accentuate the positive in singing-telegram history. He once said that the message he sent to Vallee -- which was chronicled by the newspaper columnist Walter Winchell -- ''started America on a zany musical binge.''
And a retired Western Union spokesman, Warren Bechtel, recalled recently that it ''was certainly an imaginative, innovative idea,'' and that singing-telegram business boomed.
Although Western Union is no longer in the Singing Telegram Business, The tradition is Proudly kept alive by the folks here at Celebrations Entertainment Services!

Yes, we have an entertainment company. Yes, we have a blast. Yes we hang out with "Celebrities"...(well, people who look like celebrities).  And yes, Singing Telegrams Really Do Exist!

I'm sure in the future I'll be Blogging a lot of fun stories, special events, and probably more details from "behind the scenes" of our day-to-day operation than most care to read. But for now I just want to invite the world to check us out (and send Pam a link to this Blog, hi honey!).
