We specialize in creating unique, memorable experiences for our clients. We book and manage live entertainment such as DJs, musicians, roving acts and dancers for large and small events.

No event is too big or too small for Mōde. We provide artists and performers for a wide range of events including but not limited to corporate events, weddings, private parties and other special occasions. We cannot wait to celebrate your next milestone.

We are a Canberra based agency but we work with artists located in other major cities such as Sydney, Brisbane, Cairns, Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne. Please let us know the location of your upcoming event and we will send you the possible options.

Mōde has the experience, connections and resources to source the perfect act for your needs. You'll save time and hassle, gain peace of mind and likely end up with a higher-quality performance. The entertainment is such an important part of any event so why not leave it in the hands of the professionals and focus on the many other details involved in planning? Please read our article "The Benefits of Booking Entertainment for your Event Through an Agency" if you would like more information.

At Mōde, we pride ourselves on the quality of our artists and performers. All of our artists and performers have been carefully selected based on their experience, skills, and talent. We also provide short biographies and videos of our artists/performers so you can get an idea of their work.

We are proud to represent a diverse range of artists from all over the world. We have a wide selection of talented performers from different countries, cultures, and backgrounds. We understand the importance of having the right artist for your event. We have a team of experienced professionals that can help you find the perfect match for your needs. Whether you are looking for an artist that sings in a certain language, has a specific style or originates from a certain cultural background, we can help you find the perfect artist for your event.

For the artists' selection process, we would usually send between two and five options to choose from. However, if you already have someone in mind for your event, our team will work with you to determine if the artist or performer is available and can meet your needs.

For logistical reasons, the short answer to this question is no. With the exception of major events that usually require multiple rehearsals before the big day. We always send a short biography of our artists as well as videos of them performing to help you in your decision-making process. Don't hesitate to reach out for special queries or if you would like more information.

We are aware of the importance of our performers' appearance. This is why we ensure our performers are dressed appropriately for the occasion. Our performers typically wear formal or semi-formal attire. However, we always ask what the dress code will be to ensure that the artists are dressed appropriately.

We want to ensure that all performers have the necessary equipment and accommodations to make their performances successful. Meals and refreshments must be provided if the performances are scheduled for 4 hours or longer. The only requirement for shorter performances is water. Depending on the type of performance (roving acts especially), you may need to provide a dressing room for the artists to get dressed.

If our performers are available, additional time can be arranged. An extra fee will be charged based on the performer's rate. An invoice will be sent to you after the event.

Life is unpredictable and on rare occasions, artists may experience an impediment at the last minute. If this happens, we will work with you to make sure that your show will still go on. We have a network of reliable and experienced performers that we can call upon to fill in for any artist who may be unable to perform.

All our entertainers come with their own personal instruments, DJ gear and necessary equipment including speakers and cables. For some events, we may need a table for the DJ and access to power, which generally can be provided by the venue. If there is any equipment issue it is our job to find the answers and make sure everything is arranged for the night.

Yes, we can provide a microphone if requested at an additional cost that will be added to the quote.

We don't specialise in staging and lighting but we have close relationships with companies and suppliers that provide these services. We can handle the booking process for an additional fee.

Planning an event can be overwhelming and it can be hard to know where to start. At Mōde, we are here to help you create the perfect entertainment package for your event. Start by getting in touch with us through our contact page and we will discuss your event in detail (date, location, number of guests, budget, etc...) to determine which type of entertainment would be the best fit. We can also provide you with ideas and suggestions that you may not have previously considered.

We always say "the earlier, the better" but as a general rule, we usually recommend booking entertainment at least two months in advance to ensure availability and enough time to arrange all necessary details. During the warmer months when events are in full swing the availability of popular artists can be more scarce, it is best to get in early if you have someone specific in mind. If you are organising an event in a short period of time, please don't hesitate to give us a call and will do our best to try and provide you with awesome entertainment no matter the time frame.

Generally, you will hear back from us within 24 hours after submitting the contact form. Regarding the actual quote, it usually takes 2 to 5 days for us to put forward different possible options depending on the number of artists requested and their availability. Sometimes an artist can take a little bit longer to get back to us with a straight answer because they are waiting for confirmation from another event, in that scenario, we will keep you updated the whole time to make sure you are not left in limbo and know exactly where everything is at.

If you are located in Canberra, we would love to meet with you in person to discuss about your event. Otherwise, an online consultation can be arranged.

Once you have received our quote and had a look at the different options we have put forward, it is time for you to choose your preferred artists and pay the 50% deposit. We then reach out to the artists, ask them to lock in your event date and provide them with all necessary details. At this stage, a confirmation will be sent to you and you won't have to worry about the entertainment anymore as we handle everything from beginning to end.

You can reach out to one of our team members by emailing us at contact@modeentertainment.com.au. Our team is available to answer any questions or concerns you may have and will get back to you as soon as possible.

We ask our artists to arrive at least 30 minutes before the event to set up their equipment, check the sound and get prepared; everything should be ready before guest arrival. Bump out is generally done straight away after the event, unless the venue or client requests otherwise.

Absolutely, we always ask for song requests from our clients to ensure that the DJ and/or performers know what types of music to base their performance on. Simply let us know what songs you would like to be played and we will make sure to include them in your event. If you don't have any requests, it is totally fine, we will work our magic to keep your guests engaged and entertained throughout the entire event.

Yes, Mōde Entertainment is insured with the necessary public liability insurance that covers our artists and equipment in case of unforeseen circumstances.

Entertainment can cost anywhere between $750 and $100k+. There are multiple factors to take into consideration when asking how much entertainment might cost for an event: The artists (prices vary depending on popularity, ability and experience). The location (location may incur an additional fee for travel and/or accommodation). The event size (how much sound equipment needs to be provided and how many people are needed to set up). The performance length.

All costs will be included in the quote. Costs usually include the artists' performance, sound and hired equipment, travel and/or accommodation fee and booking fee (which entails all the work behind the scene to provide you with high-quality entertainment).

We charge a travel fee for any booking outside of a 30km radius of a major city. If the location of your event is more than 2 hours away from a major city, accommodation may be required. In this case, an accommodation fee will be charged

Once you have reviewed the quote and made a decision, we require a 50% deposit to officially secure the artists. The balance is due at least 14 days prior to the event. Bank transfers are our preferred payment option.

For any cancelled booking, the 50% deposit will be kept.
