Best entertainers in Bentley
Seven kilometres. That is the shortest distance on any page in this batch, and it means an act leaving central Perth is with you before they have properly warmed the van up. Travel simply is not an argument you need to have in Bentley, which frees you to argue about the things that actually matter.
The suburb itself is two different booking diaries sharing a postcode. There is a campus here with everything a campus brings, orientation events, faculty nights and student functions, and around it the ordinary run of suburban houses doing birthdays and engagements. The acts are the same; the briefs are not.

Questions people ask about entertainers in Bentley
Why are all the nearest acts pinned to central Perth?
Because that is where Perth's performers register themselves, in the city rather than in the suburb they sleep in. It makes almost every metro suburb page show the same short list at slightly different distances. At seven kilometres it changes nothing practical for you, but it is the honest picture of what the map is telling you.
What should I book for a university or college event?
For anything with speeches or an awards element, a soloist or a duo who can also hold a microphone earns their fee twice over. For a night that is purely social, a DJ outlasts a band for less money and needs a fraction of the space. Give the organiser's running sheet to whoever you book, since these events run to the minute.
Can I book an act at short notice in Perth?
Sometimes, and a short trip like this one makes a late booking more worthwhile for the act than a long haul would. Ring instead of emailing when the event is two weeks out or less. The one thing you should never bank on is a Saturday in the pre-Christmas run, where anything with a decent history was taken long ago.
How much does a DJ cost for a party in Perth?
Hours on the decks first, then whether they are bringing lights and a full system or plugging into something already installed. A campus room with a rig in the ceiling is a cheaper night to run than a bare hall where the DJ carries every speaker in. The from-prices beside each listing here are what Perth DJs are quoting today.
Booking tips
A student crowd and a staff crowd are different rooms
One wants volume from the first song and the other wants to be able to hear itself think over dinner. Say which you have got, because an act that reads the wrong one will spend the night chasing it.
Choose on the review record, since distance is level
With every act on the first screen the same seven kilometres away, the thing separating them is what past clients said. Read the reviews for the kind of night you are running rather than counting how many each act has.
Campus rooms often come with a system
Lecture theatres and function rooms on a campus usually have installed sound and someone who knows it. Work out exactly what the room already owns, so you are not paying a second time for speakers that are bolted to the ceiling.
