Event Live Entertainment

What Event Live Entertainment does

Event Live Entertainment is a privately held, bootstrapped US talent agency founded in 2012 and headquartered in Los Angeles, specializing in booking hosts, emcees, DJs, bands, and variety entertainers for live events. The agency operates from four regional offices (Los Angeles, New York City, Atlanta, and Orange County) and serves event organizers across corporate, sports, wedding, celebrity, and experiential marketing segments. Its roster includes talent with verified credentials at marquee events including Super Bowl broadcasts, NBA All-Star Games, ESPN College GameDay, and major network programming, which forms the backbone of its value proposition. Notable enterprise clients include the NFL, ESPN, NBA teams, Mercedes Benz, T-Mobile, and networks such as ABC, FOX, Food Network, and Hulu.

The business model is a professional services booking agency: revenue is generated by sourcing and placing performers for client events, with pricing handled on a quote basis that varies by performer experience, event type, duration, and location. The company has expanded its scope beyond talent booking into adjacent service modules including public speaking coaching, event consulting, and full event production (AV, lighting, staging, rental equipment). Go-to-market is sales-led through direct website contact forms and booking CTAs, supplemented by SEO-optimized regional landing pages and a content marketing blog launched in 2024. The company is owner-operated by Rossi Morreale, who also serves as an emcee and executive producer, with a total headcount of 12 employees and no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or acquisitions.
