What CS Entertainment Can Provide

Instead of coordinating several unrelated entertainment suppliers yourself, CS Entertainment can act as a central point of contact for multiple services.

Our entertainment network includes services such as:

Professional DJ Hire

DJs can be provided for:

Corporate events, weddings, private parties, Christmas parties, awards evenings, product launches, venue events and other celebrations.

We can work from detailed client briefs or help establish music requirements with the client.

Depending on the booking, DJ packages can include professional sound equipment, DJ booth, lighting and microphones.

⸻

Photo Booth Hire

Our Photo Booth service can be supplied either independently or alongside other entertainment.

Options can include:

Digital Photo Booth experiences, printed photographs, attendants, custom photo templates, branded booth interfaces, branded online galleries, backdrops, props, guest books, red carpet experiences and other upgrades.

For corporate and agency events, branding can be incorporated into the guest experience.

⸻

360 Photo Booth Experiences

For events requiring a more interactive content experience, we can arrange 360 Photo Booth services with options including customised overlays, attendants, lighting, sharing functionality and event branding.

For bespoke physical branding requirements, our team can also coordinate specifications with the relevant production suppliers.

⸻

Live Entertainment

Where appropriate to the brief, CS Entertainment can source additional performers including:

Saxophonists, singers, violinists and other live entertainment.

This allows planners and venues to approach us with the event requirement, rather than needing to identify and contact every individual performer themselves.

⸻

Additional Event Services

Depending on the event and requirements, our supplier network can also assist with additional event products and services such as dance floors, LED letters and specialist entertainment.

If something falls outside our standard services, our team can review the brief and determine whether it can be sourced through our supplier network.

⸻

How Our Venue & Event Partnerships Work

There isn’t one compulsory partnership model.

A hotel recommending suppliers to wedding couples operates differently from an event agency delivering corporate activations.

So we can adapt the relationship accordingly.

1. Recommended or Preferred Supplier

CS Entertainment can become part of your venue or organisation’s recommended or preferred supplier network.

When a client requires entertainment, your team introduces or recommends CS Entertainment.

From there, we can take responsibility for establishing their requirements, preparing the appropriate package, coordinating the booking and managing entertainment delivery.

This reduces the amount of entertainment administration your team needs to handle.

Your client receives specialist support while your team retains a reliable entertainment contact.

⸻

2. Venue-Managed Enquiries

Some venues prefer to remain the client’s primary point of contact.

That’s completely workable.

Your team can send us the event brief, including information such as:

Event date, venue, timings, guest numbers, entertainment requirements, equipment requirements, access information and any special requests.

We then confirm availability and provide the appropriate entertainment solution back to your team.

This allows the venue to maintain control of the client relationship while using CS Entertainment behind the scenes.

⸻

3. Direct Client Management

Alternatively, your team can introduce the client directly to us.

Once introduced, CS Entertainment can handle the entertainment conversation.

We can establish:

Music preferences, timings, equipment requirements, Photo Booth requirements, branding, access, setup arrangements and other entertainment details.

We then keep the necessary parties informed as the booking progresses.

This model is particularly useful when venue or planning teams don’t want to spend their time discussing playlists, Photo Booth upgrades and entertainment logistics with every client.

Apparently event managers occasionally have other things to do. Shocking.

⸻

4. Event Planner & Agency Support

For event planners and agencies, we can operate more like an extension of your supplier network.

You provide the brief.

We help establish the appropriate entertainment solution.

For example, an agency could approach us with:

Corporate Christmas event

250 guests

Central London

DJ required

Branded Photo Booth required

18:00–00:00

Client wants premium presentation

Venue has strict access requirements

Instead of the planner separately sourcing the DJ, Photo Booth operator and associated requirements, CS Entertainment can coordinate the entertainment side of the brief.

That gives your team one entertainment contact rather than several separate supplier conversations.

⸻

5. Additional & Backup Supplier Cover

We don’t need to replace suppliers you already trust.

In fact, many venues and event companies already have established DJs, entertainment companies or production partners.

We can simply become an additional supplier option.

That becomes useful when:

Your regular supplier is already booked.

A client requests something your existing supplier doesn’t provide.

Multiple events are taking place simultaneously.

You receive a short-notice enquiry.

Your existing supplier cancels.

A particular event requires additional performers or services.

You need additional capacity during Christmas or another busy period.

The aim is simple:

You have another reliable number to call when you need something solved.

⸻

Short-Notice Entertainment Cover

Events have a charming habit of developing problems approximately five minutes before somebody needs them solved.

A DJ becomes unavailable.

A client adds entertainment late.

An agency wins a last-minute brief.

A venue discovers its usual supplier is already booked.

Because CS Entertainment operates using an established network of entertainment professionals, we can check availability across multiple suppliers rather than relying entirely on one individual.

We cannot guarantee that every last-minute requirement can be fulfilled, but our network gives us greater flexibility when urgent cover is required.

⸻

Our Supplier Network

A major part of our service is supplier coordination.

CS Entertainment works with external entertainment professionals and specialist suppliers alongside our own services.

Rather than simply passing a random contact to a venue or planner, our objective is to build a dependable network of professionals who can represent both CS Entertainment and the partner organisation professionally.

Depending on the service, supplier requirements can include appropriate insurance, equipment documentation, booking information, event briefs and agreed professional standards.

This becomes particularly important for corporate events and established venues where compliance, reliability and communication matter just as much as performance.

⸻

One Point of Contact

One of the biggest advantages for planners and venues is consolidation.

Instead of managing:

DJ → Photo Booth supplier → saxophonist → production supplier → another entertainment company…

your team can communicate with CS Entertainment.

We then coordinate the relevant entertainment suppliers.

For agencies handling multiple projects simultaneously, reducing supplier communication can save a considerable amount of administrative time.

⸻

Corporate Events & Brand Activations

CS Entertainment can support corporate entertainment requirements including:

Christmas parties, conferences, networking events, exhibitions, awards ceremonies, company celebrations, launches, hospitality events and brand activations.

Corporate requirements often extend beyond simply providing entertainment.

We can work with briefs involving:

Brand guidelines, custom Photo Booth artwork, branded digital experiences, venue access restrictions, supplier documentation, setup windows, production schedules and client approval processes.

Where physical production or specialist branding is required, we can coordinate with the appropriate suppliers to establish specifications before production.

⸻

White-Label & Agency-Led Delivery

Where appropriate, we can also work within an agency-led relationship.

Your agency remains responsible for the overall client relationship while CS Entertainment fulfils the entertainment element.

We understand that when we are supplying entertainment for another company, our performance reflects on that company too.

Communication, punctuality, presentation and reliability therefore matter beyond simply turning up and playing music.

⸻

Commercial Arrangements

Different partners require different commercial structures.

Depending on the relationship, CS Entertainment can discuss arrangements including:

Direct Client Booking

The venue or planner recommends CS Entertainment and the client contracts and pays us directly.

This is the simplest arrangement for organisations that want to provide trusted recommendations without administering the entertainment booking.

Venue or Agency Booking

The venue, planner or agency books CS Entertainment as part of the wider event.

We invoice the organisation according to the agreed package and they manage their own commercial relationship with the end client.

Venue-Invoiced Arrangements

Where appropriate, entertainment can form part of the venue’s wider package or client invoice.

The exact commercial arrangement is agreed with the partner in advance so responsibilities and pricing remain clear.

Bespoke Partner Pricing

For established relationships and regular booking volumes, we can discuss dedicated partner pricing or packages appropriate to the organisation.

⸻

Client Ownership & Professional Boundaries

When CS Entertainment receives an enquiry through a venue, planner or agency, we recognise the importance of protecting that professional relationship.

We establish from the beginning how communication should work.

Some partners want us communicating directly with their clients.

Others want all communication routed through their team.

We follow the agreed structure.

Our objective is to strengthen the service you’re providing, not interfere with your client relationship.

⸻

The Booking Process

A typical partnership booking works like this:

1. You send us the enquiry or introduce the client.

We collect the essential information required to understand the event.

2. We establish the entertainment requirements.

This may include DJ style, Photo Booth requirements, performers, equipment, branding and event logistics.

3. We check availability.

Our team identifies suitable availability from our service and supplier network.

4. We prepare the appropriate package.

Pricing and service information are provided according to the agreed partnership structure.

5. The booking is confirmed.

Booking information, payments and required documentation are completed.

6. We coordinate the entertainment.

The relevant suppliers receive the event information and requirements.

7. Final details are confirmed before the event.

We check timings, access, music, branding and other relevant information.

8. Entertainment is delivered.

Our supplier or team arrives according to the agreed schedule, sets up and delivers the service.

9. Post-event follow-up.

Where appropriate, we follow up regarding the booking and maintain the relationship for future events.

⸻

What We Need From Venues

Once we begin working together, having accurate venue information helps us deliver events properly.

Useful information includes:

Venue access procedures, loading information, parking arrangements, setup times, sound restrictions, curfews, equipment restrictions, power availability, Wi-Fi availability where required, insurance requirements, PAT requirements, risk assessment requirements and the correct event-day contact.

For regular venue partners, we can keep important operational information on file so it doesn’t need to be rediscovered for every booking.

⸻

What We Need From Event Planners & Agencies

For planners and agencies, the most useful starting point is a clear event brief.

That can include:

Client or event name, event date, location, guest numbers, event type, required entertainment, timings, budget guidance, branding requirements, production requirements and any non-negotiable client expectations.

If parts of the brief aren’t established yet, that’s fine.

We can help identify the entertainment information still required.

⸻

Why Build a Relationship With CS Entertainment?

Because the goal isn’t to become another supplier sitting forgotten inside a PDF labelled “Preferred Suppliers FINAL FINAL v7.pdf.”

A useful partnership should give your team practical additional capability.

With CS Entertainment, the objective is to provide:

Reliable additional capacity.

Another supplier network your team can call upon when required.

Simpler entertainment sourcing.

Multiple entertainment requirements can be handled through one company.

Flexible communication.

We can work directly with clients or through your team.

Short-notice support.

Our wider supplier network can help when normal arrangements fall through.

Corporate and private event capability.

Support across weddings, private celebrations and corporate events.

Branding options.

Particularly useful for corporate Photo Booth and experiential requirements.

Relationship-led service.

We learn how your organisation operates instead of repeatedly treating every enquiry like we’ve never spoken before.

⸻

Already Have Entertainment Suppliers?

That’s not a problem.

We’re not asking venues or agencies to throw away relationships that already work.

CS Entertainment can simply become another option within your supplier network.

If your regular DJ is available and appropriate, use them.

If they’re unavailable, your client needs something different, or you’ve suddenly got three events requiring entertainment on the same evening, that’s where having additional supplier relationships becomes valuable.

⸻

Let’s Understand How Your Team Works

The best partnerships don’t begin with us telling you what you should buy.

They begin with understanding how your team currently manages entertainment.

We want to understand:

How entertainment enquiries reach you.

Which services your clients request most frequently.

What you already handle successfully.

Where supplier management becomes time-consuming.

How you prefer suppliers to communicate with clients.

Whether short-notice availability is a recurring problem.

Whether your clients regularly request services you currently have to source externally.

From there, we can establish where CS Entertainment genuinely adds value.

Because the point isn’t simply to get ourselves onto another supplier list.

It’s to become useful enough that when your team needs entertainment support, contacting CS Entertainment is the easy decision.
