Best entertainers in Ellenbrook
Young suburbs book young parties. This corner of the north east has filled up fast with new estates and families who arrived at the same stage of life, which shows in what gets booked here: first birthdays, christenings, children's parties in a back garden or a community centre, and the occasional engagement in a new house with nothing on the walls yet.
The catch is the drive. Every act in the first ten comes from central Perth, about twenty five kilometres away, and out past Guildford there's nothing much in between. Expect that to appear as a travel charge or a firmer finish time, and expect it to be the first thing a sensible act raises with you.

Questions people ask about entertainers in Ellenbrook
Do Perth entertainers come out to Ellenbrook?
They do, and the Reid and Tonkin run is a familiar one for anyone working the north east corridor. What you should expect is a travel component in the price, because twenty five kilometres each way is real time and fuel rather than a rounding error. Ask whether the figure quoted already includes it.
What works for a child's birthday party at home?
Something self contained that brings its own sound and props and runs to a fixed time, since a back garden supplies nothing. Check the age range an act is pitched at before you book, because a show written for four year olds falls flat with a room of nine year olds and the other way round is worse. Read the profile rather than trusting the category name.
Is it worth checking the Joondalup or Guildford pages instead?
Possibly, though both draw on the same Perth pool and the names repeat. Guildford is the closer of the two and sits between here and the city, so an act listed there may have a shorter run to your venue. Compare the distance on the cards rather than the suburb in the address.
Booking tips
Ask for the travel figure up front
A quote that hasn't accounted for the run out here will get revised, and finding that out late is the annoying version. Name the suburb in your first message and ask directly whether travel is included.
An earlier night costs less
Six until ten is a far easier booking to fill than nine until one when the act faces a long drive home. Moving the whole evening forward is the cheapest change available to you out here.
Backyards need shade and a flat spot
New estate gardens are often young, which means small trees and a lot of afternoon sun. Tell the act what shade exists and where the nearest power point is, because both change what they can bring.
