Deciding on entertainment - Part I
When you’re comparing apples to apples you would not expect there to be a discrepancy of price with one apple being $1.00 and another being $20.00, unless it was some unusual breed of apple that you hadn’t tasted before that was so magnificent you had to adjust what you were willing to pay to have it. But generally apples don’t have that big of a difference.
However when dealing with entertainment it is more accurate to be comparing wines or cars than apples. Here's a question for you - would you pay $1000 for an Ernest and Julio Gallo wine? Of course not, but you couldn't get a 1994 Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon for a dollar less than $1400. (I looked it up - I have no idea what it tastes like). But they're both wines.... and sometimes it is that stark a contrast with entertainment. A more obvious comparison would be a Ford Focus to a Bentley. Both will get you there, but the ride and experience would certainly in no way compare. Could something be that good that it’s worth the time and investment? It's up to you and your tastes. However, there is one more factor involved here: It's a once in a lifetime event.
It comes down to specific taste, sophistication and intuition. Many entertainment companies are competent and capable of doing a good job. And if your affair is not a once in a lifetime party, or the quality is not an issue than value shopping is a fair way to help choose. But if it is a one shot to do it right type of event, it's worth finding that extra ability, experience, style and knowledge to help guarantee a transcending level of joy for yourself and your guests. More to come. Your comments welcomed.
