Tropicalia is a full-time professional entertainment group with over 20 years of experience. Our pricing reflects the high standards we deliver on and off stage, ensuring your event runs smoothly and memorably. Here’s what’s included in our quote beyond just performance time:

What our professional fee includes:

• 🎤 Highly experienced, full-time performers (musicians, dancers, drummers)

• 🚐 Travel costs (vehicle maintenance, petrol, insurance, tax)

• 🥁 Top-quality sound and lighting equipment (and regular upkeep)

• ⏱️ Long hours dedicated to travel and setup (often 12+ hours away from home)

• 💼 Tax, National Insurance, and professional running costs

• 🛡️ Public Liability Insurance (essential for most venues)

• 📣 Marketing and admin to stay visible and responsive

• 🧥 Costumes and rehearsal space maintenance

• ✨ Stage presentation and professionalism - every detail matters

While cheaper acts may quote lower, they often skip many of these essentials - risking poor quality or unreliability.

Choosing Tropicalia means peace of mind, professionalism, and a spectacular, authentic Brazilian entertainment experience that your guests will remember.

Booking our Brazilian entertainment acts is simple:

1. Accept the quote and sign our booking form.

2. Pay a 20% deposit within three working days to secure your date.

Once both steps are complete, your event date is confirmed. The remaining balance is due no later than seven days before the event.

⚠️ Please note: Until the deposit is paid, your date remains open to other enquiries.

After the three-day holding period, we may release it for other bookings.

We perform at corporate events, weddings, festivals, and private parties across the UK and abroad, so securing your date early is strongly recommended.

Yes, our Brazilian entertainment group is fully insured with Public Liability Insurance coverage of up to £10 million. All our sound, lighting, and performance equipment is PAT tested annually (Portable Appliance Testing), which meets UK event venue safety requirements. If your venue requests a copy of our insurance certificate or PAT test documentation, we're happy to send it directly to the venue or provide it to you in advance.

No, there are no hidden fees. All travel costs, performer expenses, and setup charges are included in our all-inclusive quotes. Everything will be clearly itemised and confirmed in your booking contract, so you know exactly what to expect when hiring our Brazilian Entertainment show for your event.

A band rider is a document included with the entertainment contract that outlines specific technical, hospitality, and logistical requirements needed by the performers. For live event entertainment, such as a Brazilian Show Band or samba performance, this typically includes details like stage size (if available), power supply, sound equipment, and a private changing area or green room. Most professional venues are equipped to provide these, and the rider helps ensure the performance runs smoothly and meets professional standards.
