For small events, a few days may be enough depending on availability. For larger events, custom shows, special costumes, or international acts, it is better to book early so we can secure the right talent and prepare everything properly.

Yes. We provide themed performers, roaming characters, costume based acts, and entertainment concepts that match your event theme, brand colors, cultural direction, or creative brief.

Yes. We handle artist coordination, call times, briefing, scheduling, communication, and on site management when required. This can be included as part of our talent management service, depending on the event scope. Our goal is to make sure every performer arrives prepared and show ready.

We look at the event type, audience, theme, venue, timing, budget, and the feeling you want guests to have. Then we recommend performers who fit the moment, instead of placing acts randomly.

Yes. We provide musicians, dancers, DJs, roaming acts, specialty performers, and stage shows for weddings, birthday parties, private celebrations, luxury gatherings, and destination events.

We even have had in multiple countries weddings and big number events.

Yes. We provide corporate event entertainment for gala dinners, award ceremonies, product launches, conferences, brand activations, exhibitions, company parties, and VIP events across the UAE and GCC.

Yes. We create custom live shows built around your event theme, music, choreography, costumes, audience flow, and brand identity. This can include opening acts, reveal moments, roaming entertainment, stage performances, and full show concepts.

We handle all kinds of entertainment projects, from one day events to yearly contracts. Timelines vary depending on the event, concept, and level of preparation required. A simple roaming entertainment request can be arranged within a few hours, while a full dance production may take several days or weeks, depending on the scale, detail, and quality needed.

Cost depends on the type of act, how many performers, and how custom the show is. As a guide, projects with us typically start from around AED 10,000 to 15,000 for a focused entertainment package, and rise for large custom productions involving choreography, original costumes, multiple acts or international talent. We give a full quote once we know the event type, guest count, venue and date, and the proposal costs you nothing.

Send us the event date, venue, guest count, type of event and a rough budget. We come back with a proposal that includes suggested acts, video references, timings and a full cost. Once you approve, we handle casting, contracts, rehearsals, costumes and everything on the day. Most bookings start with a message to info@theonlydandy.com or +971 54 758 7275.

For corporate events and gala dinners, the entertainment should support the programme rather than compete with it. What works best is a strong opening act to set the tone, roaming or interactive performers during arrival and dining, and one high-impact moment, an aerial act, a live band, or a themed production number, placed after the awards or speeches. Volume and staging matter more than in a party setting, because guests need to hear each other.

Yes. Launches and activations are our strongest area. We build the entertainment around the reveal moment itself, so the performance leads the audience to the product rather than running alongside it. This includes flash mobs, choreographed reveals, branded costumes, LED and screen-integrated acts, and roaming performers who carry the brand message through the room.

Yes. We provide wedding entertainment across the UAE and on destination weddings abroad, including live musicians, dancers, roaming performers, aerialists and full choreographed show segments. We work with the wedding planner on timing so the entertainment fits the flow of the day rather than interrupting it.

We have a network of over 900 handpicked performers, so scale is not usually the limit. We have delivered events with more than 100 performers on the floor at once, including a large-scale flash mob at Time Out Market Dubai involving adult dancers, children and venue staff. For very large casts we build in extra rehearsal time so every group is coordinated.

We handle all of it. Our scope covers concept development, choreography, costume design and production, casting, music, rehearsals, stage management and on-site coordination on event day. You are not booking a performer from a catalogue, you are getting a show built for your event.

Our portfolio includes work for DAMAC, Emaar, Samsung, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Ferrari World, Formula 1, Sephora, Coca-Cola, Virgin, L’Oréal, Mandarin Oriental, Time Out Market Dubai and a number of leading UAE property developers. We have delivered more than 500 projects across the region.

Most agencies supply talent from a list. We start from the event itself, the vision, the audience, the space and the feeling you want people to leave with, and then build the show around it. That means original concepts, custom choreography and costumes made for your event, not a standard act adapted to fit. We are a creative partner on the event, not a supplier of performers.

Both. We work directly with brands and hosts, and we also work as the entertainment partner behind event management companies, production houses and wedding planners. For agency partners we can stay fully behind the scenes and work to your client’s brand guidelines.

We provide live entertainment for events across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, the UAE, and GCC. Our network includes dancers, musicians, DJs, aerialists, acrobats, roaming performers, LED acts, fire performers, circus artists, themed characters, and specialty shows. We also create bespoke productions with care and detail, because standing out is always our goal.
