Best entertainers in Eleebana
Eleebana is houses, water and not much else, a suburb on the eastern side of the lake's northern arm between Warners Bay and Belmont, and its entertainers are neighbours. A singer-songwriter lives in Eleebana, a cover band is a few minutes off, a singer at Fennell Bay and another singer-songwriter at Toronto are across the top of the lake, then a wedding act at Charlestown, a kids' entertainer at Cardiff, a blues band at Dudley, the cabaret show at Pelican, a duo at Blacksmiths and a singer-songwriter at New Lambton. Nothing on this page is more than a quarter of an hour by road, and most of it is less.
So the question isn't who'll come, it's what kind of night. Three of the ten write and sing their own songs, which is the right booking for an engagement party in a backyard on Eleebana's hill or a ceremony on the foreshore at Warners Bay, and it's why a solo act here is easy to find at short notice. For a full band on a Saturday in spring you're really shopping on the Newcastle page, a quarter of an hour up the road, where the wedding bands and party bands in the wider mix mostly live.

Questions people ask about entertainers in Eleebana
How much to pay wedding ceremony musicians at Lake Macquarie?
A soloist for the vows and the canapes is an hour or two of playing plus set-up, and around Eleebana no act is charging travel to get there. The singer-songwriters at Eleebana, Toronto and Fennell Bay are the natural picks and haven't listed from-prices, so ask all three and see who answers with questions of their own. A second set-up at the reception is where the quote moves.
Is there a kids' entertainer near Eleebana?
A children's entertainer based at Cardiff, a few minutes over the hill, covers a birthday in a Warners Bay park or a lounge room. Face painting and magicians are further out towards Newcastle for now. Weekend mornings in the school holidays go first.
Do Eleebana and Warners Bay share a list with Belmont?
Near enough; Belmont is ten minutes down the eastern shore and its nearest acts are these plus the Blacksmiths and Pelican ones. The Blacksmiths page is the view from the southern end. Use whichever puts your venue's suburb at the top of the cards.
Booking tips
Backyards mean neighbours
Eleebana's houses sit close together and an amplified band on a deck carries across the water further than you'd think. A singer-songwriter with a small rig, finishing by ten, keeps the peace; tell the act the finish time before they quote.
The foreshore is public land
Warners Bay's foreshore and the reserves along Croudace Bay belong to the council, so a ceremony or a picnic party there needs a booking and an act with battery power. The soloists on this list are set up for it.
Fennell Bay is closer than it looks
The singer at Fennell Bay is across the water, but by road round the top of the lake through Booragul it's ten minutes, not a lake crossing. Don't rule out the western-shore acts on the map.
