How do I book a speaker, MC, or entertainer?

Booking talent through Social Alchemists is straightforward. Browse the available speakers, MCs, entertainers, or hosts, click on a speaker or artist you’re interested in, and you will find a Booking button below each artist description. From there, fill out the event details, which includes the date and time of the event and your budget, and we will be in touch!

Alternatively, you can reach out to us here.

You can book keynote speakers, business leaders, celebrity MCs, live bands, programme directors, comedians, sporting personalities, entertainers, motivational speakers, and industry specialists for conferences, launches, awards evenings, leadership events, and internal company functions.

Yes. Our team works closely with clients to match talent to the event objectives, audience profile, industry, and overall atmosphere you want to create. This helps ensure the speaker or entertainer fits the occasion properly rather than simply filling a slot.

While corporate conferences and business events are a major focus, talent can also be booked for launches, gala dinners, awards ceremonies, networking functions, brand activations, educational events, and private occasions.

Popular speakers, celebrity MCs, and well-known entertainers are often booked months in advance, especially during conference and year-end event seasons. Early booking gives you the best chance of securing preferred talent and avoiding scheduling conflicts.

Yes. Many speakers, MCs, and entertainers are available for events across South Africa and, depending on the artist, internationally as well. Travel and accommodation requirements are discussed during the booking process.

Working with an experienced entertainment booking agency simplifies the booking process, negotiations, scheduling, logistics, and communication. It also gives you access to a wider network of vetted professionals suited to different event types and audience expectations.

We’re known for ‘brand talent’ – our speakers are tried-and-tested and many are very experienced, with years of expertise in their field and their craft. What is more, Social Alchemists’ stringent and comprehensive onboarding process ensures that we really know the talent we work with and can expertly match them with clients’ needs.

Speaker fees vary because no two events or speakers are the same. Factors such as a speaker’s experience, expertise, reputation, travel requirements, and the level of customisation needed to align their presentation with your event brief all play a role, and we will help you find the right fit for your event and budget.

If your speaker is no longer able to attend, you can rely on us to help you find the best way forward. Our first priority is finding another speaker who’s the right fit for your event, but if that is not possible, we will refund your booking.
