Questions planners ask
What entertainment can Explera book for corporate galas & awards?
Acts include live bands, MCs & hosts, opening acts, illusionists, dancers, drawn from the Explera roster or sourced to your brief. Headline acts, bilingual hosts, opening shows and dinner music, cued to your run of show.
How do I book an artist through Explera DMC?
Send a brief through the booking form with the date, venue, guest profile and budget, or shortlist artists from the roster first. The New Zealand desk (b2b@explera.co.nz) confirms availability with the artists and replies with a shortlist and an all-inclusive quote. You then sign one contract with Explera DMC.
Who do I contract with, the artist or Explera?
With Explera DMC only. Artists on the roster are represented exclusively by Explera in the destinations shown on their profile, so every booking there is contracted, invoiced and managed through Explera.
What does the quote include?
The quote lists every cost for the engagement: the performance fee and, where they apply, flights, hotels, ground transport, work permits and rider items. What is included is written into the quote before you confirm, so there are no separate artist invoices.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can. Popular artists and peak dates fill first, and international performers need time for work permits and travel. Send the brief even if some details are open; the desk will tell you what is achievable for your date.
