Vinyl / concrete / marble / polished wooden decking flooring is safe for fire shows, carpet is subject to burning/damage and not recommended. We provide a fire safety with all our fire acts to ensure the safety of your guests and performer.
Are Outdoor Performances Okay?
Yes, outdoor performances are ok. However, they mostly rely on good weather. If it’s extremely windy a more sheltered area is appropriate. If it rains heavily the performance can not go ahead and a 50% deposit is still required for the performer. Light rain is okay.
Can the performers hang around for some dancing with guests and/or photos afterwards?
Do your performers need breaks?
Roving entertainers that are booked for 1hour or more will require breaks.
1 hour bookings will run as a 3x 5 minute set, with 2x 10-15 minute break in between sets.

It’s outside on council land/beaches, do we need council approval?
If the performance is to be conducted on a beach or parks on council land you will need to contact your local council to ask for approval first.
What do your performers need to be provided with?
- A private green room (separate room away from guests) to allow entertainers to privately stretch, get dressed, store belongings, and fuel their props.
- Water
- If you’re booking a feature performance, then audio equipment/DJ will need to be provided and in some cases microphones.
What time do performers arrive?
What if we don’t have a DJ or any audio equipment?
Can we request custom songs?
Yes, we ask that you provide the songs a minimum of 2 weeks prior to the event to allow adequate time for rehearsals.
Can I ask your performers to stay longer on the night?
Extra fees will be incurred, if you wish to extend the performer’s booking time on the night. This will need to be cleared with Melbourne Entertainment Company before we can confirm. In some circumstances performers will have other bookings so this may not be possible.
What if my event is running late?
If you need to push back the performance on the day of your event please know that we may have other bookings and might not be able to accommodate, although we will always try our very best. There is a 15 minute grace period for delays, anything over 15 mins incurs a fee of $50 per 15 mins overtime.
