Entertainment Billing Models: Flat Fees and Add-Ons

Entertainment is usually billed as a base booking fee plus optional add-ons.

Typical structure
  • Base performance fee: the agreed booking rate
  • Add-ons: extra set time, hosting/MC, rehearsals, equipment setup
  • Event-specific customization: special requests itemized separately
This keeps invoices simple while accurately reflecting the event scope.

Event Details That Help Approvals

Entertainment invoices often go through planners and finance teams.

Best practices
  • Include event name and date clearly
  • Add a venue field for multi-location clients
  • Note performance details when it affects pricing (set length, number of sets)
Clear event details reduce follow-up questions and speed up payment.

Equipment, Sound Setup, and Production Add-Ons

Many entertainers provide equipment or coordinate setup.

Common items
  • PA or sound system setup
  • Microphones and lighting basics
  • Setup/tear-down time
  • Additional crew support (when applicable)
Itemizing setup services helps clients understand what is included beyond the performance itself.
