Word from the floor
Hosts, planners and venues — on the record.
"They found us a jazz trio for our gala in under 48 hours. The room was electric — guests are still talking about it."
"Our wedding band canceled two weeks out. They had a replacement booked the next morning that was, honestly, better."
"I run a 200-cap venue and they're my first call for fills. Every player they send is pro, on-time, and prepared."
For bandleaders
Need a sub on short notice?
Drummer down? Bass player stuck in traffic? Tap into a deep bench of professional sub players ready to step in — often same day.
Questions, answered
Pricing & the fine print.
Straight answers on cost, commission, and what happens when something changes.
What does it cost to book through Ventertain?
Clients pay the act's quoted fee — our commission is built into that quote, never tacked on. Most full bookings land between $800 and $15,000 depending on act size, travel, and run-of-show.
How do you charge the artists?
We take a flat 10% finder's commission on any act we book. If that same act gets rebooked at the same venue later on — even if the venue calls them directly — we still collect 5% on every future booking there because we made the original introduction.
How fast can you book something?
Standard turnaround is 48 hours for a shortlist. For emergencies (a sub player, a same-week cancellation) we can often confirm within hours.
Do you handle contracts and payment?
Yes. Every booking includes a signed agreement, a clear deposit schedule, and a single point of contact through showtime.
What if the act cancels?
We carry a deep bench. If something goes sideways, we replace the act at no extra cost to you — that's the whole point of booking through an agency.
Do you book outside our local area?
Yes. We regularly book regional and touring talent. Travel and lodging are added to the quote transparently.
