To get started, you can call us or complete our Enquiry Form - we typically respond within 3 hours during working hours, and always within 24 hours.

You can expect clear communication, professional planning, and a high-impact performance tailored to your event. Whether you are organising a corporate event, wedding, private celebration, or themed event, we manage the process from initial enquiry through to final performance to ensure a smooth and well-coordinated experience.

A rider is a set of practical requirements that accompanies a live entertainment booking and outlines what is needed on the day of the event to ensure a smooth performance. For most events, this is straightforward and may include access to parking, a private changing area, and refreshments for performers where appropriate. The rider helps ensure clear expectations between the client, venue, and performers. Any specific requirements are always discussed in advance and confirmed as part of the booking process.

Once you decide to proceed, we will issue a booking confirmation and agreement outlining the agreed performance details. To secure your date, a 20% deposit is required within 5 working days of confirmation. Your booking is fully confirmed once the deposit has been received. The remaining balance is due no later than seven days before the event.

No. Our quotes are fully transparent and clearly itemised before confirmation. All agreed costs, including performance fees, standard travel expenses, and event setup requirements, are outlined in your booking contract so you know exactly what is included before securing your date.

Yes. Tropicalia holds full Public Liability Insurance with cover of up to £10 million. All sound, lighting, and performance equipment is regularly PAT-tested in line with UK venue safety requirements. If your venue requires copies of insurance or PAT documentation, we can provide these directly in advance for approval and peace of mind.
