A member of our experienced team will be pleased to help with advice over the telephone and will e-mail suggestions which fit your budget and your detailed requirements.

• How much do celebrities charge?

  We do not publish fees on our website because many celebrities charge different amounts for different events. They can vary from as little as £500 up to £50k + depending on various factors which might include:-

  • What the celebrity is required to do e.g. deliver an After Dinner speech or simply make a personal appearance
  • The location of the venue e.g. UK or abroad, London or the provinces
  • The day of the week, time and length of the function

  Once we have most of this information we are more than willing to give you an immediate indication of cost and we can then negotiate on your behalf.

• Can you contact someone who is not on the site?

  Our database contains more than 4000 celebrity contacts, names and addresses. We are constantly updating and adding to it. We have the resources and research facilities to contact any celebrity or speaker you may be interested in.

  Our Artiste Index is only a guide to some of the celebrities with whom we we work most frequently i.e. those known to participate in corporate events, personal appearances or after dinner speaking.
