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

Having been a full time professional entertainer for the past 20 years, I feel that I can speak with some...

"Cannot thank Tony enough. He went above and beyond. He helped me learn a song to sing for my wife as a personalised surprise. He gave up his time to practice with me prior to the wedding. He also helped my wife with a surprise dance."

Lloyd Candy - November 2019

Tony George came highly recommended to us by the restaurant we had our wedding at, Nunu in Palm Cove, Cairns. (After that, the recommendations kept coming via word of mouth!) So we booked Tony and his band and couldn't have been happier. Tony was open to all of our crazy ideas for our wedding and showed heaps of enthusiasm and encouragement - he was up for ANYTHING! We had a sing-a-long during dinner, a special song dedication to my sister and her husband, and lots of cool music throughout the night. Our wedding guests raved about Tony and the band for days following our wedding. Couldn't recommend him more highly!! Thanks Tony for an awesome night and for accommodating our every request!

Janis & Tom Winkworth - October 2019

What an amazing performer! Tony and his band were absolutely amazing, everything from the choice and variety of songs, set-up, sound quality and professionalism. These guys rocked the crowd and made the night unforgettable! If you are looking for live music that is second to none, you've found your band!

Bec and Luke - October 2019

Tony was perfect! He provided exactly what we needed in the way of music and MCing, and created an incredible atmosphere with plenty of crowd participation. Tony was even able to cater to our special requests. We would recommend him for other weddings in a heart beat!!

Joshua and Salome - September 2019

"Tony, you are honestly the most entertaining performer we have ever come across. You were lovely as soon as we met and so helpful with every single aspect of our wedding. Not only does he have the most amazing set of pipes on him, this man can seriously keep a crowd up and moving all night! I think everyone's highlight was to see you throw down Eminem and the tin whistle was a surprisingly nice addition, haha. You honestly made our night a memorable one and we cannot thank you enough for everything you did for us!

Jesse & Jamie - September 2019

"We had Tony George Entertainment's 4 piece band for our wedding at the Sugar Wharf, Port Douglas. I think we booked Tony before we even booked our venue! He came highly recommended by our wedding planner and other local Queenslander wedding vendors. Tony and his band were super flexible with our unconventional wedding even learning some Hebrew songs for our Jewish Hora! He had everyone up and dancing during the night. He can read the room and give you an exceptional experience on your special day."

Steph Sneddon - August 2019

"Tony and his band were absolutely amazing! They had our guests up dancing all night long and all our guests raved on about how great the band was. Tony was incredibly easy and professional to deal with. I would highly recommend, he made our night so amazing and was so attentive to the sound, lighting and flow of the formalities throughout the night."

Katie Pilcher - August 2019

"THANK YOU so very much Tony, everyone had a great night and all of our delegates said what a great group you are..... THANK YOU!!!!!"

Judith English - Bidfoods - August 2019

"Hi Tony, Thank you so very much for a sensational job last Thursday. the guests loved every minute of it and the feedback from the delegates has been fantastic. Thanks also for the group photo at the end...what a party!!"

Emily Loughrey - Event Co-ordinator - BCD Meetings and Events

"Everyone LOVED the band. They're amazing!! One of our guests is asking about using Tony for his interstate conference. Thanks so much for being so easy to work with!"

Janine Keating - June 2019 - Corporate Conference Solutions.

"Absolutely amazing! Tony and his 3 piece band played for our reception. Excellent choice of music, the favorite of the night was his own version (hilarious) of Eminem! We had so many compliments from guests at how amazing they were. Best value for money!"

Taani Russell - May 2019

"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!

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!

Please pass on my THANKYOU to the rest of the band and thanks for being so accomodating to our needs.
Kind regards,
