There are two ways to do this, you can start by entering the postcode of your event. From there you can further refine those in certain categories or genres and other filters. You can then click on the profiles of the entertainers to find out more through their bios, videos, pictures, review and more.

The closer they’re located, the higher they’ll rank in your search results.

There may be no artists in that category in the location you’ve searched for. If you want to see all the different types of entertainers who perform in your area, you can leave the category field blank and search again.

There’s two ways you can do this:

1. Click on the button that says “Get a Quote” on an entertainer’s profile. This will open a new quote request form which you populate with details of your event and send directly to the entertainer.
2. Click on ‘create an event’ on the home page or ‘ask for quote from all’ on the results page, fill in the details of your event and the event details will be sent to those artists who fit the bill and respond to you with quotes for you to consider.

You can log in to your TalentBookr account and go to your inbox, where you can view all your quote requests and their current status. By clicking on a quote request you can see the details of your event and the entertainer’s profile and you can send and receive messages.

Best thing is to send the entertainer a follow-up message. To send a message, log into your account and click on the quote request in your inbox. If there is still no response we suggest finding another similar artist who can help.

You can send a message to the entertainer on TalentBookr. To send a message, log into your account and click on the quote request in your inbox. The entertainer will be notified that they have received a new message from you. You can continue messaging the entertainer through TalentBookr even after the booking has been made. Your conversation history will all be saved, just in case you need to refer to it later.

If your event details change prior to booking, you can update the quote request and re-send it to the same entertainers. Just go into one of the quote requests in your inbox and click the “Edit” button. This will take you to the Edit Event form where you can update your event details. If you sent the original quote request to multiple entertainers, you only need to edit the event details in one quote request and all entertainers will be notified. Once you submit the Edited form it will automatically cancel any existing quotes you’ve received for that event and notify the entertainers of the change, so they can submit new quotes.

“When you sent your quote request you must have ticked the box that said “Should we get you quotes from similar entertainers?”

Of course. If you’re not happy with a quote you could send the entertainer a message advising what your budget is and asking if there’s scope to accommodate it. If your expectations can be met, the entertainer may offer to send you a new quote.

Yes. Quotes expire after 5 days to keep things fresh. Entertainers’ schedules are always filling up, so it’s best not to procrastinate for too long after you receive a quote.
