Production and Entertainment
Selecting the right venue for your event is only half the battle. BSC knows that your special event also requires competent, professional production and right kind of entertainment and ambience to truly make it memorable. We have gone to great lengths to ensure that events have the right feel. Can you imagine yourself…
- Listening to 26 band and orchestra CD’s to find the right band for a group of accountants that range in age from 26 to 75?
- Figuring out where to rent a Big Bird costume because your CEO thinks it will be a lark to come dressed in yellow feathers?
- Finding an authentic hula dancer…in Nebraska!?
- Wrangling kangaroos?
- Getting up in front the of audience and dancing to get people out of their chairs and onto the dance floor?
- Having to build a stage for the band that can also support the audience should they decide to line dance with the band?
- Cueing amateur attendee karaoke singers so that everyone gets a chance to perform?
BSC does this for your event, and more.
