For event planners, DMCs & agenciesThe act you can add to any reception without touching the floor plan.

No stage, no AV, no load-in, and a client who thinks you’re a genius the next morning. This page has what you need to put me in a proposal: bios you can paste, a tech rider that fits on a napkin, and how holds and net pricing work. If anything’s missing, call me.

Technical rider

Stage
None.
Sound
None for strolling. One handheld or lav for a parlor show with more than 50 guests.
Lighting
Whatever the room has.
Power
None.
Floor plan
I don’t take up any of it.
Load-in
None. I arrive 30 minutes before start and find your on-site lead.
Green room

Meals
Not needed.
Insurance
COI naming the venue or client, on request.
Paperwork
Agreement, W-9, invoice. Net terms for agencies.

Where I fit in a multi-day program

  1. Night one

    The welcome reception. Ninety minutes to two hours of strolling while guests arrive and find each other. If you only use me once, use me here.

  2. Any day

    The hospitality suite or lounge. An hour in the early evening gives people a reason to come by and hang around.

  3. Mid-program

    Dine-arounds and VIP dinners. Table-side for a small group, or a short parlor show in a private room.

  4. Final night

    The farewell dinner. Strolling during cocktails, and the guests who met me on night one bring their colleagues over.

Bios you can paste

These are in the third person so you can drop them straight into a deck. Edit them however you like.

Questions planners ask

Do you work through agencies and DMCs?

Yes. Book me through your company, I’ll quote you net, and you can present me to the client however you like. At an agency event I’m there for you, so I don’t hand out my own cards.

Can you hold a date while we wait on client approval?

Yes. A soft hold for several days is normal. If somebody else asks about the same date in the meantime, I’ll call you first.

What do you need on site?

A name and a cell number for whoever’s running the floor, a start time, and somewhere to leave a small bag.

Can you do several nights of one program?

Yes, and I change the material each night so returning guests see new things.

Tell me about the program and I’ll call you.

Send the dates, the city, a rough headcount and what kind of program it is. I’ll call you back, usually within a day, with availability and a net or gross number.

Sets start at $700.
