It clues you in to what we need to get started or info that will help all involved.Did you Know?

1.)  Most Corporations, Companies and Government Entities Require that their Employees Book Entertainment through a State/County Licensed (and Bonded) Talent Agency or Business Entity?

2.)  Most Entertainers do not operate legal businesses unless they operate under a Florida Licensed and Bonded Talent Agency or are licensed in the County in which they do business?

3.)  In the State of Florida,  third Parties, like Resorts or Wedding Planners and Event Planners can not legally book a Performer(s) for You unless, they are the personal manager of  only one Entertainer or Group (rarely, if ever, the case)?  Otherwise, a Licensed and Bonded Talent Agency is the only Entity that can legally book for you.

4.)  Alabama Talent Agencies (Booking Agencies) can not book in Florida, nor solicit business here.  They are NOT "Regulated", in any way, in their own state and there are no (legally imposed) limits as to what they can charge you for Entertainment, or as to what they pay Entertainers?

5.)  "D" Dan's is Regulated by the State of Florida and is a fully Licensed and Bonded  Florida Talent Agency (TA-763) able to book ANY type of Entertainment you may need, when you need it!

6.)  "D" Dan's is always looking out for your best Interests where our Great Entertainers, Buying Power, and Great Services from start to finish Saves Time and Money for your Corporation, Business or your Family...so you can B-line to the Fun!
