All-Star Entertainment

What All-Star Entertainment does

All-Star Entertainment is a privately held entertainment consulting firm and non-exclusive talent booking agency founded in 1988 in Atlanta, Georgia, now headquartered at 4584 Blakedale Cir NE in Roswell, GA. The company intermediates between vetted performers and clients across more than 20 entertainment categories, including bands, DJs, casino nights, magicians, hypnotists, comedians, interactive game shows, murder mystery events, team-building programs, theme décor, audio-visual services, and voice-over recording. Customers are split across private events (weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, bar/bat mitzvahs), corporate events (Fortune 500s, employee appreciation, conferences), fundraisers, hospitality venues (hotels, resorts, country clubs), and event planners/wedding coordinators, primarily across the southeastern United States with stated reach into the Caribbean and Europe.

The business is run on a commission model under which the agency charges performers a 20-25% markdown on regular pricing for booking and coordination services, and prepares Performance Agreements plus handles event logistics. Band pricing spans roughly $750-$1,500 for local jazz or acoustic acts, $2,500-$7,500 for typical wedding and special-event dance bands, and $10,000+ for the most exclusive party bands; most engagements include up to four hours of performance time, instrumentation, sound/lighting, and travel. Bookings require a 50% advance deposit, and no sales tax is charged on band bookings.

Distribution is direct-to-client and consultative: trained Entertainment Consultants respond to inquiries within 48 hours and work with clients to match performers to event style, personality, and budget. The go-to-market is sales-led and relies on word-of-mouth, with 90% of business attributed to referrals and repeat customers alongside content marketing, organic SEO, and modest earned-media coverage in VoyageATL, TheHall, and CanvasRebel. The firm augments agency commissions with internal capabilities including an award-winning A/V division with trained technicians, an in-house state-of-the-art sound studio that underpins a voice-over service line, and proprietary wireless buzzer systems for game-show events with large electronic scoreboards. Notable customers include HCA Healthcare, Barnsley Gardens, Idle Hour Country Club, WSIL ABC-TV, the United States Tennis Association, and United In Pink. The principal is owner Steve Weindorf; no institutional investment, parent company, or public listing is disclosed.

Direct peers

• Bounce Entertainment: Multi-category entertainment agency offering bands, DJs, photo booths, casino nights, and game shows for weddings and corporate events. Highly comparable to All-Star's 20+ category portfolio and one-stop-shop positioning.
• Bel-Air Entertainment: Regional entertainment agency booking bands, DJs, and event talent for weddings and corporate events. Closely comparable agency model focused on curated performer rosters with personal consultant-led sales.
• The Bash (formerly GigMasters): Online marketplace connecting event clients with live entertainment vendors (bands, DJs, magicians). Operates as a booking and lead-gen platform with the same core product-market fit as All-Star's agency model.
• Gigmor: Musician booking platform that directly connects event clients to bands and solo acts, primarily in the wedding and corporate segments. Represents the digital-native equivalent of All-Star's curated booking approach.

Broad incumbents

• WeddingWire (The Knot Worldwide): Wedding vendor marketplace where couples browse and book bands, DJs, and entertainment. All-Star has actually won WeddingWire Couple's Choice awards, and the marketplace serves as both a referral channel and a competitor for the wedding entertainment category.
• Encore Global (formerly PSAV): Large-scale event technology and production services provider, with deep A/V capabilities that overlap All-Star's in-house audio-visual offering. Serves hotels and corporate clients — a customer base All-Star also targets.
• Live Nation Entertainment: Largest live entertainment company globally, with deep performer relationships and corporate event services. Represents the scaled incumbent whose booking infrastructure and artist access could pressure independent agencies over time.
• Thumbtack: Large online marketplace spanning hundreds of service categories including event entertainment (DJs, bands, photo booths). Competes for the same SMB and consumer entertainment-booking demand as All-Star with a much broader platform.

Others

• Eventbrite: Self-service ticketing and event management platform. Does not compete in talent booking but is an ecosystem participant that event organizers and entertainment buyers use alongside booking agencies.

Regional players

• Choura Events: Corporate event production and experiential services firm primarily serving West Coast and national accounts. Comparable on the corporate event entertainment and production side, though with a stronger geographic skew outside All-Star's Southeast focus.
