How does Cartagena Enterainment and Management work?
After getting a wish list of the entertainers shown on the book an artist page, a date and the budget you wish to stay within from your entertainment request form, we find the act or acts from your list that are available for your specific date that fall within your budget. We then figure out how much of the production responsibilities you wish to take on (i.e. sound, hotel accommodations, ground transportation, etc.) and quote you a price for the entertainment inclusive of the production responsibilities that we will handle.
What are the production responsibilities that make up a live musical performance?
Almost every produced concert is made up of the following aspects:
- The band's fee
- Flights
- Ground transportation
- Hotel accommodations
- Pre production and onsite producer
- Sound
- Lights
- Back line equipment (the band's gear)
- Staging
- Power
- Misc. rider requirements
Is there an upfront fee to use Cartagena Entertainment and Management?
NO. The only time you have to pay anything is if we secure an act for you and our fees are built in to the overall price we quote for the entertainment.
What are rider requirements?
A rider is a list of what the performer requires to perform or make an appearance. It RIDES or is attached to the contract so it is called a rider. This rider includes everything from the number of flights to the sound requirements to the type of food and beverages that they require.
What do you mean by a TURN-KEY event?
When we say we can provide you with a turn-key event, this means that we will handle all of the necessary requirements mentioned above including providing a producer to fly in to the city where the engagement is being held to handle the show from A-Z. How much we handle depends on how much you feel comfortable dealing with (hotels, ground transportation, etc.). Even though we offer this kind of service, we require that payment for these responsiblities be fulfilled before we handle the technical aspects of the event.
