Handy Entertainment, an entertainment agency based in Atlanta, Georgia, produces interactive entertainment.

Our experiential activations and pop-ups connect attendees with you, each other, and your event.

Put your message, brand, or business in your entertainment!

We source other vetted vendors and talent, but most importantly, we create personalized and specific activations.

Handy Entertainment can brand and customize each activation. Customization aligns client experiences with their objectives and audience.

We can help you source vendors who are reputable and reliable.

Working in different industries gives us the opportunity to work with many different event professionals. We get to know them, vet them, and experience their work up close. Ask us about your event production needs, sourcing, and further assistance.

As a Woman-Owned Small Business, certified by the Small Business Administration and the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council, we are uniquely positioned to help you, your organization, and your community source outstanding event vendors.

We travel for events and produce events nationally and outside the U.S.

Whether or not we are able to accommodate your event depends on performer availability.

We are not Disney, nor do we have a cast of millions. (We are really picky about our people!)

That means if you would like to work with us, we encourage you to reserve your date and talent as soon as possible.

There is no additional travel expense for events within a 60-mile range of Atlanta. We add travel allowances for events requiring travel of more than 60 miles from Atlanta and also for holidays. In general, if your event is within a 300-mile range, we can drive.

If your event is more than 300 miles from Atlanta, we calculate whichever are applicable: travel, accommodations, per diem, and/or airfare for entertainers and any other staff you require.

Most clients prefer a single, bottom-line quote with all costs built into it, but we can line-item upon request.

Corporate clients find we are a cost-effective solution for their needs. Particularly the savvy ones who book in advance. That helps us contract talent and lock in accommodations and travel at the lowest rates.

We set our rates based on:

• type of talent/act
• Number of entertainers
• Props/Decor
• location
• date
• duration
• time block

Some other factors that influence our rates are based on what is most important for you. Those could be:

• take-aways
• budget
• number of attendee interactions
• novelty
• specialty skills, for example, American Sign Language

It could be something entirely different. What do you need to achieve that?

• We ask about your venue because the scope of what you need is different for a hotel compared to a private residence or an outdoor space.
• Do you want all 1825 or 350 guests, for example, to interact with entertainers?
• Is there a presentation or a seated meal in between?
• Do you have decor or will we be providing it?
• Is it necessary to load in two or more hours before set time (to avoid interrupting a ceremony, for example)?

These are simple, but important questions for us to create what you want.

We are happy to adapt acts to fit different budgets.

How we work at large events is different for each event.

Some of the factors that determine what we’ll propose for your event are:

• number of guests
• type of entertainment
• venue
• location
• timeline
• date
• day of the week

Use different acts simultaneously or stagger them through your event. Our team can meet, explain, coddle, help, and prep your attendees.

Our Fortune Tent gives you the option of creating a cozy, defined space-within-a-space.

Your venue is the primary factor in determining the style of your event. In addition to catering, decor, props, and furniture, entertainment will define and enhance your venue. Build a central entertainment hub, a station, have us stroll, or even ‘table-hop.’

Professional event organizers frequently use entertainers to enhance the ‘flow’ of their events.

We can subtly (or very clearly) move guests from an over-crowded area to an overlooked area of your venue. Maximize the value of your venue by shaping guest flow to use different areas at different times with entertainers.

Entertainment, customized entertainment, helps people connect at an event by creating shared experiences and shared conversations.

Shared conversations create connections.

Handy Entertainment is insured and licensed.

We are registered as a corporate entity with the State of Georgia, and have an occupational license with the City of Chamblee.

We have liability insurance (and can provide your venue with a third-party Certificate of Insurance).

Handy Entertainment has an SBA-recognized Woman Owned Small Business certification by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council.

Entertainment–customized for your clients, attendees, or guests, can absolutely improve conference draw, linger time at trade shows, and networking success. The right experience makes approaching strangers significantly easier.

Pricing and why should we work with you?

Pricing can be a deciding factor. We get it.

Everybody needs to base their decisions on what’s most important to them.

For us, it’s all about the quality of what we produce for our clients, front and center. Along with that, we’re all about safety, integrity, reliability, thoughtfulness, and meaning.

It might sound sappy, but those, along with accessibility, are our core values.

We work with children all the time–and we love working with them!

We’ve provided entertainment for young people of all ages:

• Weddings
• Bar and Bat Mitzvahs
• Anniversary celebrations
• Birthday parties
• Graduation parties

and much more. We create amazing, engaging, and appropriate fun entertainment for children of all ages!

Here are some other wild ideas, focused on weddings.

We help planners and hosts by being prepared, responsive, adaptable, and easy to work with.

Activations invite guests participate in one-on-one conversations that are entertaining, thoughtful, and insightful.

We can help you with your upcoming event by providing customized entertainment and sourcing vetted, outstanding vendors. We source from historically disadvantaged groups who provide excellent service. Many are certified. We know they are outstanding and trust them because we’ve personally worked with them.

We are proud to be able to recommend a wide array of diverse suppliers, many of them third-party certified. If you would like to know more about what that means, check out this SBA publication.

Our entertainment is appropriate for different cultures.

We are always appropriate. On top of that, we are very proud to work with people from different backgrounds and heritages.

Serving clients from all walks of life, socio-economic backgrounds, races, nationalities, religious beliefs, gender identities, and abilities is a privilege and we take it seriously.

Our Team is trained in multicultural competence. That means they are aware of, and take into consideration, your guests’ needs in terms of language, gender, cultural or religious needs (physical proximity, touch, gender biases), accommodations needed (hearing, vision, or mobility, for ex.)

This is important because it reduces stress for the host(s) and helps attendees feel welcome and at ease.

We can interact with approximately ~20-70 guests per hour for activations like Handwriting Analysis, Lip Print Analysis, and Tarot Card Readings depending on the type of entertainment, type of attendees, venue, and your goals.

Why is their such a difference in number of guests served?

Using pre-printed messages, distributed by Zoltar in the Zoltar Fortune Teller Booth, for example, allows you to rapidly distribute messages.

But this reduces the amount time that each guest has to interact with our talent.

Interactions can be as long or as short as you want. We can work with up to ~70 people per hour, per entertainer. Those are quick interactions and can serve a specifice event purpose.

For more personalized and meaningful guest interactions, you should figure approximately 3-10 minutes per guest, per entertainer. We can make that happen for ~15-20 guests per entertainer, per hour.

Our trained Assistant/Facilitators help explain, prep, and answer your guests’ questions. This expedites the process and elevates the event. Our sweet spot is focused on serving 100-800 guests.

We can scale up for up to 1,500 attendees, and more.

How many attendees do you want to interact and in what period of time?

This is how we determine the number of entertainers and assistant/facilitators needed.

The more lead time we have, the better we are able to serve you.

Availability limited.

The difference between Handy Entertainment and other event entertainment companies is that our activations are based on participation and connection. Our focus is on creating real moments and the spectacle is secondary.

We do not require much space, and most of our activations do not require electricity. We do not need additional equipment, furnishings, staff, or crew. Requirements vary, but we generally maintain a small footprint and straightforward setup process. Save money and increase your reach by using us for your next trade show booth entertainment.

Interactive entertainment is very appropriate for corporate audiences. Corporate entertainment should be elevated, useful, and appeal to all attendees.

We work with corporate event planners, conference organizers, trade show exhibitors, destination management organizations, not-for-profits, associations, venues, and brands seeking unique guest experiences.

Our simplest offer starts at $1050. Our rates are based on the services provided and depend on the type of entertainment, number of performers, number of attendees, location, holidays, day, time, and length of the event. Reach out so we can create a package that fits your event needs.

We are fully licensed and insured, and great at what we do.

Here are some insights on costumes. Some clients prefer costumed entertainment, while some prefer simple business or even casual attire.

Costumes are an option, but talent arrives in attire according to your specifications. Some events call for costumes. Others need what we call ‘Civilian Attire’ and that can be business casual, business attire, or evening attire. We can be professional, eclectic, audacious, or quirky.

A great rule of thumb: Ask yourself when booking any kind of talent for your event, “How would a (person with a disability/visitor from another culture/non-native English speaker/person of color/gender fluid/religiously observant) guest or attendee feel if they were interacting with this person?”
