CLIENTS TESTIMONIALS
I’ve been booking entertainment for the largest trade association in Florida since 2005. In 2012 my job got a lot easier when I started working with Wizard Entertainment. Since then, I’ve booked ALL our entertainment through Wizard.With top talent in music, magic, acrobatics, dance and comedy, Wizard ALWAYS delivers super performers who are also a pure joy to work with. For the 100th Anniversary of Florida Realtors, we wanted something big. Wizard came through again with the one and only Jay Leno.From music acts like Party on the Moon and BIG Swing and the Ballroom Blasters to KC & The Sunshine band performing at next year’s convention, Wizard is my go-to agency. Top flight customer service and amazing talent that always pleases our audience. I have the utmost confidence in Wizard Entertainment. That’s why I don’t bother calling anyone else.
When it comes to entertainment production there are a plethora of producers that talk a good game, but Dan and his team at Wizard deliver unforgettable moments of serendipity! For my wife’s surprise 40th birthday party in Cabo, Dan arranged for Chris Isaak and his band (all wearing sombreros) to surprise and serenade my wife and then perform a up close show for friends & family. Thank you, Dan, for enhancing our lives.
For the past 6 years the work of Dan Barnett and Wizard Entertainment have helped us raise over $8,000,000 for children in need through their efforts to secure the services of Diana Ross, Natalie Cole, Aretha Franklin, Patti LaBelle and Jay Leno (twice) for our annual Concert for the Kids. Leaning on them to produce the shows has allowed me the time to concentrate on the good works of our Foundation. Have and do highly recommend their services…..
