The fire performers use props like hula hoops, juggling tricks, fire poi, stunts, fire eating, and more to give guests an exhilarating experience.
The show would usually take between 10 to 30 minutes depending on how many persons were hired. A solo show would cost about $340 and an additional average of $250 per extra person. But if the Show is highly choreographed, it could cost more. Make sure you hire a team that has expert safety personnel on retainer. Discuss insurance, acquire adequate space, and get a fire permit if the event is indoors.
Live Wedding Painting
As a result of COVID-19, many couples had to readjust their wedding choices, often having to nix their live music and dance floor to maintain social distancing. The positive that came from it? Many new & different entertainment options sprouted, including live painting where solo artists capture the big day through a custom piece of artwork that’s created at the event. The benefit of live painting is that it not only produces a beautiful piece of memorabilia for you (while supporting a local artist) but also creates an element of entertainment for your guests to watch and enjoy. We’ve also seen some couples make copies of the painting and gift it to their guests as an everlasting wedding favor!By Carissa – Founder & CEO of Carissa Corsi Events
Custom Live Music
Many couples prefer Live bands to DJs, and why not? A live display is more energetic and authentic, capturing the guests and leaving memories. Live bands are suitable for every kind of wedding, from country to ballroom, beach, coastal, farm, garden, and more. The average cost of a live band is about $4000 with a 10% tip. However, this price is influenced by day of the week, season, the number of band members, travel distance, package deals, and more.
To get the best of bands, hire one that doubles as a DJ, and get involved in the music selection. Choose a package deal that includes the supply of instruments and insurance. Also, opt for only the needed team members so that you’re not paying for redundant guests.
