Tip #8 – Keeping It ‘Cool’
In the entertainment industry, anything is possible. While this can be advantageous in organizing a one-of-a-kind event, you must always be prepared in case of an emergency. Here are a few ways we can help you keep calm and party on!
- Your musicians have a sudden emergency
- Our entertainment producer always has a backup plan so you are assured of a quality performance.
- An accident occurs on-site
- Life is unpredictable and accidents can happen. Whether a physical injury or technical failure, Olivera Music Entertainment carries full liability insurance, as required by most venues, so you are protected.
- Equipment is difficult to move
- Proper loading and unloading of equipment is crucial for preventing gratuitous damage charges.
- We ensure the highest care and efficiency for transport of all instruments, equipment, devices, etc. Experienced in servicing the area’s most popular venues, our production staff is very familiar with such procedures.
- Electronic devices are faulty
- We’ve all experienced the shock of a computer crash or technological failure. That is why our producers, DJ’s and musicians arrive prepared with an extra supply of essential equipment such as speakers, amplifiers, and mixers.
Entertainment production requires careful and extensive planning. Let us help you make your event a success!

The 6-piece Jazz Band ‘Sonyx’ entertained with two hours of jazz music while guests enjoyed this elegant, delicious (and extremely filling) event. The band consisted of piano, guitar, bass, drums, trumpet, and saxophone, and played a variety of jazz band music styles from dixieland to blues to contemporary jazz music.
Thousands participated in this annual charity event by ‘Food and Friends’, which featured the talents of 60 celebrity chefs. Money generously donated by attendees and sponsors help to provide meals, groceries and other nutritional services for those in need. Besides an enormous amount of food tastings, the event included a large silent auction, and was concluded with a live auction.

Successful Entertainment Production
Tip #5 – Performer Etiquette
Performer etiquette and appearance are as important as the performance itself. Factors to consider:
- Determine the proper dress for your event, and, therefore, for your performers. Unless they are to be dressed in a specific costume, performer attire should match or be more elegant than your guests.
- Appropriate attire may be labeled as formal, semi-formal, New York black, cocktail, casual, etc. Be sure to specify your choice in the contract.
- Equally important is having a clean look in the performance area. Cases, bags, and personal items should be stored completely out of sight.
- Cords necessary for performance should be secured for safety purposes, and kept out of sight as much as possible. It is best to run cords from the performer to backstage, rather than across the front of the stage or in front of the performers.
- If music is used, it should be neatly organized in a black folder on a black music stand, so to remain minimally noticed by guests.
- Performers are to restrain from drinking alcoholic drinks at all times, and from smoking, using cell phones, and eating in view of the guests.
- Provide a musician area for safe storage of cases, bags, and personal items. This could also be a place for the performers to eat and have soft drinks during scheduled breaks.
- Many of these items can be included in your contract, or on a separate rider with the contract.
