Dubai and Abu Dhabi

Hotels, ballrooms, villas, yachts, malls and venues across both cities

DubaiEventAgency.com plans and runs the entertainment for corporate events, gala dinners, product launches, weddings and private parties in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. You tell us what the event is for, how many guests are coming and how the evening should feel. We build a programme around it, book the acts, agree the technical details with your venue and manage every performer on the night.

Price: corporate event entertainment in Dubai usually costs AED 3,500 to AED 45,000, depending on the acts. A band, an MC and one specialty act for a 300 to 500 guest gala usually runs AED 25,000 to AED 45,000. See what event entertainment costs in Dubai.

One programme, not a list of acts

Most events do not need one performer. They need the right act for each part of the evening: something gentle while guests arrive, a moment that makes the room stop, music people can talk over during dinner, and energy for the end. Booking these separately means five contracts, five arrival times and nobody in charge when a set runs long. We plan them as one running order, so every changeover is timed and every act knows its cue.

Events we plan entertainment for

Corporate events. Staff parties, conferences, networking evenings, family days and year end dinners. See corporate event entertainment.

Gala dinners and award nights. Arrivals, dinner, the awards segment and one visual moment between courses. See gala dinner entertainment.

Product launches and brand activations. A short, sharp reveal timed to the unveiling, with entertainment that holds the crowd before and after. See product launch entertainment.

Weddings. The whole day mapped out, from the ceremony to the late DJ, for Arabic, Indian, Western and mixed weddings. See wedding entertainment.

Private parties. Villa parties, milestone birthdays and yacht parties, with two or three acts across the night. See private party entertainment.

National Day, Ramadan and Christmas. Seasonal programmes for offices, hotels and malls. See seasonal event entertainment.

Managed on the night

Good entertainment can still fail on the day: a band with no power point, a fire act the venue never approved, a singer waiting in the car park because nobody told security. We speak with your venue's technical or banqueting team about power, stage size and load in well before the event, handle the permit question, and manage the crew on site, so you are free to look after your guests.

Dubai and Abu Dhabi

We plan entertainment for hotel ballrooms, private villas, yachts, malls, offices and outdoor venues across Dubai, and for events in the capital. See event entertainment in Abu Dhabi.

Good to know

Questions people ask

What does an event entertainment agency do?

It plans the entertainment for the whole event, books the acts, agrees the running order and the technical needs with your venue, and manages the performers on the night. You deal with one team instead of five separate suppliers.

How much does event entertainment cost in Dubai?

Corporate event entertainment in Dubai usually costs AED 3,500 to AED 45,000, depending on the acts. A live band, an MC and one specialty act for a 300 to 500 guest gala usually runs AED 25,000 to AED 45,000, with AV, staging and lighting quoted separately. Private party packages of 3 to 5 acts usually cost AED 6,000 to AED 20,000 or more.

How far ahead should we book?

Six to eight weeks for a standard corporate evening, and ten to twelve weeks for a gala at a popular ballroom between October and April. Private parties need 3 to 10 days for a normal weekend and 3 to 4 weeks around Eid, National Day and December.

Do you handle entertainment permits?

Yes. The team checks whether your event needs a DET permit in Dubai or DCT approval in Abu Dhabi, or runs under the venue licence, and agrees fire or aerial sign off with the venue in advance.

Can you plan entertainment for weddings too?

Yes. We plan the whole wedding programme, from music while guests arrive to the zaffa entrance, the dinner set, the band and the late DJ, including separate ladies and men halls.

Do you work in Abu Dhabi?

Yes. The same team plans and runs event entertainment in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
