Entertainment Built Around Your Event Type
Every event has its own rhythm. Here’s how Encore Talent typically builds entertainment for the event types we’re booked for most across Ottawa — plus two of our most popular full-production formats below.
Corporate Events
From all-hands conferences to award galas and holiday parties, Encore Talent supplies polished, on-brand entertainment that respects your run-of-show. Popular bookings include MC/comedians, corporate DJs, close-up magicians for mingling receptions, and stage hypnosis or illusion acts as a headline closer.

Theatres & Performing Arts
We work directly with theatres, presenters and performing arts venues across Ottawa to book full production entertainment — stage illusionists, tribute bands, novelty and specialty acts — with technical riders and staging coordinated in advance.

Family Events & Festivals
Company picnics, community festivals and public celebrations need entertainment that works for every age in the crowd. We build multi-station family entertainment zones — face painting, balloon art, kids’ magic — alongside bands and DJs for the adults.

Photo Booths
A photo booth is one of the easiest ways to keep guests entertained all night and send them home with a keepsake. We offer open-air, mirror and 360 spinning booth formats with custom branded overlays — a popular add-on alongside a DJ or live band.
