1. Music is always an important part of entertainment for most events. We have two great community based sites where you can sample music that is popular amongst your targeted audiences. Imeem.com and Buzznet.com give a lot of insight into the latest music vibes around us. If you are really getting into social marketing, you can even get your targeted audiences to build the playlists for you to get them excited about your event.

2. Its always a good idea to put the budget for entertainment aside. You can use Evite.com’s Budget Calculator to estimate your entertainment expenses and then select the entertainment options accordingly.

3. If you want to engage your audiences and community early in the planning stages, what better way to do that than provide them with a platform where they can discuss ideas and give feedback. iPartee.com allows you to build private or public pages for your events and also has the option of inviting people from your FaceBook or email addresses directly to the page. Its a great and simple way of kick-starting small parties and building excitement in your crowd.

4. If you are looking for entertainment and venue options for Corporate events, be sure to check out the Supplier Network at Cvent.com. These services are available for event managers in USA and Canada where you can search for all kinds of services and vendors according to the geographic location of the event.

5. Otengo.com is a file sharing software that you can use to keep all of your interactions with your entertainment vendors. Otengo is great for exchanging large video samples or file sizes as it keeps uploading and downloading files in the background on your desktop so that you can keep working on your plans. The thing I like best about Otengo is that it doesn’t restrict us to file-size or space, you can share unlimited file sizes.
