   1. Accuracy is important. An understanding of your talent fee budget allows us to provide faster service for you. Recommendations will be based on your indicated affordability. We do not discuss artists whose fees are greater than what you indicate here.
      For example, if you enter only $50,000, we will assume this is accurate and that your budget will not afford a $100,000 artist.
  2. If you are seeking a list of artists within a price range, indicate the range.  For example, $100,000-150,000.
  3. Fees for major names can be $100,000 to $500,000 or more.
