Celebrity lookalikes are thrilling performers, only challenged by tribute acts! Are these the right choice for your event, though? How do you pick which you hire?
These are four reasons why these performers can be the perfect choice for what you need and how to hire them!
1- Instant Recognition
The best part of hiring a celebrity impersonator or a tribute act is that they’re instantly recognizable. Although nobody may recognize your neighbor’s son’s garage band if you hire them: everyone would recognize a Prince impersonator. Hiring an impersonator or tribute act helps people immediately see who you want them to see, even if, at a second glance, they can clearly see this isn’t the celebrity they’re posing as for the night.
2- Can Fit With a Theme
What theme does your party have? If it’s a retro theme based around a specific era, impersonators can help add some depth to it. This can allow for your event to be more fun, easier to lose yourself in, and far more memorable for guests. This also means that you’ll get to invite guests to dress up for the theme, too, and ensure nobody is stuck being the only person dressed up since you’ll already have performers matching the theme.
3- Helps Build Nostalgia
Nostalgia is a powerful tool to ensure everyone’s having a good time! When we remember happier or good times, we’re far more likely to have a good time and allow those positive memories to color what we’re feeling or doing. This can help make your party an instant success, even if it’s not able to be everything you wanted it to be.
4- Inspires Great Memories
Memories are about more than just how someone felt in the moment! Help your guests create incredible memories by bringing an impersonator they can meet and interact with, possibly even stopping to get a picture before everything ends. The more pictures people take, the more vividly they’ll be able to remember the night, especially if they’re the type of person to flip through their phone and look at old parties and events that they had a great time at.
This also gives them the chance to post pictures on social media so that people can glamorize the party in their minds even more.
How to Hire the Right Act
When you’re hiring performers, it’s vital that you find the right act for what you need. You don’t want to hire a U2 cover band for a party that’s themed in the 1920s. Take your time to research what would work with your theme, and contact some performers that speak to that.
Make sure to hire as far ahead of time as possible to give yourself a safety barrier between now and the time the event is. This act protects both you and the performer, giving you a moment to schedule in the future so that your performer will be available.
Tribute Acts and Look-Alikes Change Everything!
There’s nothing like throwing the event of the season! Take the time to carefully plan, and pick the best impersonators possible before throwing your next event!
