A Guide to Hiring Entertainment: The key to your function, event, or wedding being a raging success

Posted onAugust 17, 2016Authortanner

Having been a full time professional entertainer for the past 20 years, I feel that I can speak with some authority on some of the important aspects of hiring the right entertainer/band for your event or wedding. Just as the right wine can compliment a fantastic meal, so too, the right music can compliment everything Read More …

Tony was an absolute legend - fun, friendly, professional. He and the band had our group up dancing and singing by the end of the evening! Super flexible with timings, set lists, requests, nothing seemed to be a problem. Would highly recommend. Thanks Tony

Beverley Ford - The Conference Room - May 2019

I am not sure where to start.....Tony, thank you. You were amazing. Completely read the crowd and had the dance floor full all night for our conference Gala Dinner. I cannot recommend Tony and his band enough.

Sue Sommers - Aust. College of Phlebology - May 2019

Absolute professional. Created the right flow and harmony for both MC at our reception and also for our ceremony music and wedding band. Tony also made the effort to really get to know us as a couple before our wedding which really reassured us that he was the best person for the job!

Tania Fielding - March 2019

Tony made our wedding night one to remember! Fun relaxed professional and can cater for any style of music. Highly recommend Tony George Entertainment!!

Fleur Trewick - October 2018

I could not thank Tony George nor recommend him enough! He made the afternoon and night run so smoothly, everyone loved him. He even learnt a song for me to walk down the aisle to. Wonderful music, everyone was up and dancing before dinner was even served!

Delaney H. - September 2018

We both really wanted to say a HUGE thankyou to you for contributing to the perfect wedding. I can honestly tell you that everyone, yes everyone, has said it was the best wedding that they have ever been to and what a great time they had. Your band and the music was brilliant. We can never thank you enough for helping to make it such a memorable night.

Dee & Stu - August 2018

"We booked Tony George Entertainment for both of our conference events in Cairns and they were fantastic. Best band we have had in a long time. Tony gets all our guests up and dancing and we wished we had hired them longer as they where so entertaining. Recommend hiring this band"

Debbie Foster - Hunter Douglas - August 2018

“Thank you Tony for helping our team let loose. We could have kept going all night. You are a great entertainer and just so easy to work with. Thanks so much for being such a big part of our night."

Jennie Cipri - Pharmacare, July 2018

"We booked a 4 piece band with Tony George Entertainment for our wedding in Palm Cove, QLD in May 2018. Best decision we made (and an easy one at that!). They had our whole wedding up on the dance floor all night. My husband and I also had a song request for our cake cutting and they absolutely nailed it. If you are in the middle of deciding with who to go with for your wedding please choose Tony George Entertainment, you won't regret it!"

Elise and Daniel Frassanito - May 2018

Tony George & his band were amazing and we highly recommend them. Tony was so easy to deal throughout the whole progress. He was kind enough to learn some music and perform with my grandad on the night.... a gesture and memory none of us will ever forget & treasure always. Tony was our MC too and did an absolutely amazing job. He read the room and kept things running so smoothly all night. All our guests were so impressed too and still mention him when telling us what a great time they had. 100%, book Tony George for a guaranteed professional & fantastic wedding.

Debbie and Paul - January 2018

We engaged the amazing Tony George and his band once again for a corporate event on Hamilton Island. It was an absolute pleasure working with Tony as he was the consummate professional from start to end. The stress of wondering or guessing how the evening or crowd will respond is completely removed. No matter the demographic, everyone instantly gravitates to the dance floor before the 2nd song kicks in. Crowd participation and a seemingly endless music repertoire equates to an evening that is guaranteed to be a success!
The only complaint on the night…… it ended all too soon!
100% RECOMMEND
Sincere thanks again Tony!

"Everybody loved him! Super professional, entertaining, went with the flow, everyone had a ball! awesome!"

Alex Black - November 2017

Hi Tony,
Just a quick note to thank you for the amazing night you gave us all at Liz and Dean's wedding, The Elandra , Mission Beach - it certainly was a night to remember. We have had so many comments about the night and everyone loved you and the band - the music and the entertainment for the night made the night a great one and gave us some many memorable memories. We all loved the music, the dancing and from memory I think the dance floor was pumping all night - we didn't stop all around 2 am! It certainly was a wedding to remember and your music, songs and band certainly made it very special.
Thanks again for a wonderful night.

Graham & Debbie Arnott - October 2017

Hi Tony,
Thanks so much for playing at our awards night on Friday, you made it for me and the group absolutely loved it!! I thought your range of songs was fantastic and would recommend you at any time. Once again thanks and look forward to maybe working with you again.

Ian - Events Unlimited NZ- September 2017

Hi Tony!
I just wanted to say a huge THANKYOU for your awesome entertainment at our event on Sunday evening! The group loved you music and it was great to see them up and dancing the night away to all the songs. Please pass on my THANKYOU to the rest of the band and thanks for being so accomodating to our needs.
Kind regards,

“We hired the Tony George Band for a conference dinner at Flames of the Forest. They were great to deal with in the lead up, making everything so simple. On the night the band got the crowd up and dancing and I only wish we had longer to let them enjoy the music. The band were fantastic! The crowd loved them.”

Inge Garofani - Concept Events - July 2017

Owen and Theresa - July 2017

Hi Tony,
Thank you for everything you did to make our wedding as perfect as we could have possibly have hoped for, all of our guests along with both Ben and I had a wonderful time and didn’t want the night to end! Your professionalism is second to none!
I couldn’t recommend you enough to anyone looking for the perfect wedding entertainment!

Marcarla Curtin - April 2017

Tony George Entertainment came highly recommended for our National Conference dinner – not being a local, I was grateful for the suggestion. Tony and the guys did a great job and got everyone up to dance – no small feat with a bunch of lawyers who just want to talk! I would definitely recommend Tony and the band for any event – they can really read an audience. A fun night was had by all and the delegates were still talking about it the next day!

Holly Lawrence - Aust. Lawyers Alliance - November 2016

Tony George Entertainment was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding in Port Douglas. Tony is lovely to deal with, conscientious and quite clearly spent a lot of time making sure everything would be perfect for our day. Our guests loved him and the band. If you want your wedding to be a really good party, Tony and his crew will deliver. Tony's voice and acoustic guitar was just want we envisaged for our wedding ceremony on Sugar Wharf. He knew what to play and when to play it, and his experience shines through during the planning stages – he simply thought of everything!

Jacqueline & Brad - November 2016

"Tony George is truly one of the nicest, warmest people I have ever met. We had so many guests raving about his band and his MCing. I cannot recommend him enough, he was a crucial part to making our wedding as successful as it was"

Eliza & Adam Johnstone - October 2016

"Thank-you so much for looking after everything on the day. We (and all our guests) were honestly so impressed and beyond thankful for how you took care of the timings, the music, let our little ring bearer on stage with your band, put lights in the trees....the works!. From my point of view I knew I didn't have to worry about a thing because you were like having a friend there who was a true champion! You and the band were so much fun. I can't say enough good things about how fantastic you were, from the planning process right through to the big day".

Lucy Fraser & Ben Sedgwick - October 2016

"If anyone can work a crowd it's Tony. He knows all the hits and plays a great range for all your guests. He can pick a party animal a mile away and gets everyone involved. So many comments on how great he was form our guests. He even downloaded my uncommon father daughter dance song and had it all sorted. We had him solo for the canapés and then two piece for the reception - amazing! Highly recommend."

Niccola Clark - October 2016

Hi Tony
Thank you SO, SO much for making our day the best day of our lives so far.
You and the band were absolutely perfect and set the perfect mood throughout the entire evening. Everyone we spoke to has had nothing but praise for you guys, and absolutely everyone has told us that they just had a fabulous time. Our exit down the aisle of tambourines that you arranged will be something that we will remember forever! Also, thank you so much for the photo - it is absolutely amazing... and and what a perfect memory of such a fantastic day!!

Erin Charlton - September 2016

Hi Tony,
I would like to thank yourself and your band for providing what was the most FANTASTIC night of music and entertainment during our recent event. From the melody music during our pre-dinner drinks, to the soft classics background music during our meals & between the speeches, to the absolutely FULL-ON rock n roll show you gave us at the end of the evening - everything was perfect! Nobody wanted you to stop!
You picked the crowd perfectly, and played exactly the right music for our age group.
Again, well done. I can’t wait until the next time we end up in FNQ so we can get you to play for us again.

Bill Patrick - Outback Car Trek - August 2016

"Great wedding band, had everyone up and dancing and singing along to songs. Didn't have to prompt them on the type of music to play, they just played to the vibe of the audience. Highly recommend Tony George for any wedding or function. Great price and very friendly and easy to deal with. Everyone was asking who they were and complemented their music. Book Them!!"
