3 Best Entertainment Companies in Chicago, IL

My '90s cover band -- The Buzz Worthys -- joined CEA with very realistic expectations about 2 years ago. So much so, that we initially wrote off the monthly cost as just "promotional expenses". However, CEA has not only met, but exceeded our expectations. First off, we were featured multiple times on their social media, in their official newsletter, and even on the home page of their website. Ultimately, this relationship led to a huge opportunity with their parent company -- Star Events -- opening for one of our favorite national bands at a huge festival. What makes CEA (and Star Events) so amazing is the people. Molly, Jessie, and Mirella have all been amazing and always return your email or call despite how busy they are. Now don't get me wrong, no band can succeed without talent and persistence, but if you have talent and you believe in your band, CEA is a great partner and well worth the investment. We look forward to many more shows in the future.

CEA is great to work with. Excellent caliber of talent and impeccable production. Best sound of any event production coordinators around. I’m very honored to work with such a professional company.

CEA is a top notch entertainment provider. I have spent years working with them and they always deliver quality contracts with excellent communication and personnel employed in their organization.

Mary Rothe at Artists, Events & Entertainment helped to provide the perfect entertainment for the Will County Walk to End Alzheimer's. Josh Patrick Holmes had a great set list that was upbeat and fit all ages. I heard multiple people comment that Josh was the perfect addition to the event and that he was so great. Thank you, Mary and thank you to Josh for helping to create a fun atmosphere.

Mary and her team were absolutely amazing! She easily had the most competitive prices of all the entertainment companies I reviewed prior to our event. She gave me a long list of ideas and when I have her a budget she helped me narrow down to some of her favorites! The entertainers were all wow factors at our event! The sets were long and frequent making it well worth the already reasonable price tag. Mary herself attended our event and managed the talent. Seriously cannot recommend her enough!

Such a fun extra to a party! For our company's disco night, we hired a disco ball girl to dance and take photos with guests. She was a hit and truly added a special touch to the evening. Thank you Mary!
