Entertainment Management
For your event to be a success, you simply have to have the right entertainment. And with over 20 years combined experience at the forefront of the New Zealand entertainment industry, we know entertainment, we know the entertainers and most importantly, we know how to entertain.
From creating and directing live stage shows and major concert events, to developing floorshows, dinner theatre and cabaret performances, we have done it all. We also work alongside all our bands and entertainers to ensure their material will meet your requirements, is programmed to fit the overall flow and theme of the event and that everything is delivered as one seamless package.
We believe that entertainment is the key to any creative event and that is why we don't just recommend and book your entertainment, we create, design, manage and deliver your entertainment as a fully integrated component of your event. We've spent the last decade identifying and developing the best corporate entertainment options available and establishing what works and what doesn’t.
So rest assured - when you book your entertainment with The Main Event - it will work!
Hit Parade- Elvis, Michael Jackson, Austin Powers, Freddy Mercury, Billy Joel, ABBA, Elton John, Blondie, Tom Jones, Madonna, The Bee Gees, Pink Floyd, Neil Diamond, The Rat Pack and more.

Feature Entertainment
For that extra bit of style and sophistication, a dinner cabaret is a great way to really thrill your guests and we have worked with New Zealand and Australia's leading cabaret entertainers to offer a range of feature entertainment that has been designed as the perfect accompaniment to almost any gala dinner.
A number of these options have also been integrated as part of our Themed Packages
Bands, Singers & DJ's
The Main Event can offer any form of live band, singer or DJ to suit any situation. Whether it is simply background music during a cocktail evening, the crème de la crème of covers bands, tribute artists, chart topping recording artists or a full 20 piece big band to really liven up your event - we can secure them all.
Our networks are extensive, we have a range of local, national and international options for you to chose from covering every genre and can quickly tailor an entertainment package to suit your specific requirements.
And rest assured these are all entertainers we have worked with before. We know them, we know what they do and we know how to get the best out of them for your event.
Entertainers, Dancers & Actors
Some events call for a little bit more than just perfect entertainment to create the ideal atmosphere.
To really ignite your event, allow us to bring in our highly skilled and professional roaming character actors, jugglers, fire dancers, stilt walkers, comedians and dancers.
Whatever your theme, it will be brilliantly supported by our entertainers and roaming characters who will ensure your guests are engaged in the event from start to finish.
Comedians, Speakers & MCs
We'll work with you to identify which of an array of world class speakers ranging from corporate go-getters and motivational experts to New Zealand's funniest comedians and celebrities are going to be best for you and your guests.
We also have access to a range of specialist MCs and celebrity hosts. Depending on your audience, your objectives and the theme of your evening we can recommend a range of hosts who will be sure to captivate, engage and entertain your guests.
