Celebrating something else?

Birthdays, weddings, family gatherings and workplace celebrations do not need a festival date. Start with the atmosphere you want, compare artist profiles and discuss your actual date and requirements.

Before you contact an artist

1. Describe the gathering
Share your date, city, venue, guest count and audience age range. Tell the artist which part of the programme you want them to perform.
2. Agree the performance
Discuss repertoire, audience participation, set length, breaks and equipment. Ask about access, setup time, sound limits and any travel requirements.
3. Confirm the details
Review the artist’s work and confirm availability, fees and written terms directly. A directory listing is an introduction, not a confirmed booking.

Occasion planning questions

Can I book an artist for a different date from the calendar occasion?

Yes. Your celebration can be on another date. Share your actual event date, city, venue, audience and timings when contacting an artist, and confirm their availability directly.

Does an artist listing confirm availability or a fixed price?

No. Profiles help you explore an artist’s work. Availability, fees, equipment, travel, performance length and booking terms need to be discussed and confirmed for your event.

Are these ticketed events organised by ShowStellar?

No. This is a planning and artist-discovery guide for your own celebration, not a calendar of ticketed ShowStellar events. The listed dates are occasion dates, not confirmed performances.

Should I choose a DJ, live musicians or a host?

Choose around your guests and programme: a DJ can shape a dance-floor set, live musicians can perform a repertoire you agree together, and a host can guide announcements and activities. Discuss space, sound, timings and the atmosphere you want before deciding.
