When planning an event in Singapore, whether it is a corporate gala or a wedding celebration, entertainment is a key component. Understanding the costs associated with different types of entertainment acts and packages is crucial for effective budgeting.
Luxoria Entertainment offers a range of options, from individual performers to custom-designed shows. This guide provides a clear breakdown of potential expenses, allowing you to select the best fit for your event's scale and desired impact.
Solo Performers: Flexibility and Intimacy
Solo performers offer a versatile and often more budget-friendly entertainment option. A violinist might charge SGD 500 to SGD 800 for a 60-minute set, ideal for welcome receptions or intimate dinners. Similarly, a saxophonist or harpist for a wedding ceremony would fall within a similar price range. These acts provide sophisticated ambiance without requiring extensive setup.
Magicians can be booked for close-up roving magic, typically costing SGD 800 to SGD 1,500 for 90 minutes. This style of performance is highly engaging for guest arrivals or cocktail hours at venues like hotel ballrooms or F1 Pit Building lounges.
Small Ensemble Options: Bands and Duos
For events requiring more musical depth, small ensembles like duos or trios are popular. A jazz duo consisting of a vocalist and pianist could cost SGD 1,200 to SGD 2,000 for two 45-minute sets. Many live bands offer compact configurations, such as a three-piece band, suitable for smaller corporate dinners or private parties.
These groups provide a fuller sound than solo acts at a more accessible price point than a full band. Expect prices for a three-piece band to range from SGD 2,500 to SGD 4,000 for a typical 3 x 45-minute performance duration.
Premium Packages: Full Bands and Multiple Acts
Larger events, such as gala dinners at the Marina Bay Sands or large-scale corporate events, often benefit from full-sized live bands or packages featuring multiple entertainment acts. A 6-piece wedding band in Singapore can command prices between SGD 6,000 and SGD 10,000 for a 3 x 45-minute set. This includes professional sound systems, lighting, and a diverse repertoire.
Custom packages, perhaps combining a DJ with dancers and a flair bartender for a brand activation, can range from SGD 8,000 to SGD 20,000. These comprehensive solutions offer a high impact and seamless flow of entertainment throughout your event.
Cultural and Speciality Entertainment
For events with a cultural theme or unique requirements, specialty acts offer distinct experiences. A lion dance troupe for Chinese New Year at a corporate office or shopping mall can cost SGD 1,000 to SGD 2,500 for a traditional blessing performance. Dragon dance performances, requiring more performers, range from SGD 3,000 to SGD 6,000.
Other unique acts like fire performers would be around SGD 2,000 to SGD 3,500 for a 15-20 minute show, considering the safety logistics involved for outdoor venues. LED acts, perfect for modern brand activations or dinner and dance events, generally cost SGD 1,800 to SGD 3,000 for a single performance.
