“We recently had performances and hostessing from the Entourage dancers at our venue over 6 nights, during the famous Tamworth Country Music Festival! They impressed the crowd night after night with their high energy cow-girl routines, and their infectious personalities during the hostessing and meet and greet periods with our guests! We will definitely have them back next year!”

“We have used this same troupe from Entourage for a number of our high end corporate events, with nothing but praise, but the one theme that continues to impress, and constantly gets re-booked is the Moulin Rouge and Can Can shows!
The girls arrive immaculately dressed, making an impression immediately! But when it is time for the Can Can and the Moulin Rouge show girl performances, their energy, beauty and incredible high kicks make the audience so excited! We always recommend this option to clients…it’s a great way to begin the night and really get guests in the mood!”

The appointment of this group has been an overwhelming success, with all the hassles taken away from the club directly. The cheer leading troupe have added new and improved variations to our entertainment offerings, culminating in dynamic show extravaganzas, including for our annual Meniga Medal Presentation Ball, making it one of the best ever staged!
Jason Mathie
The cheer-leading performances were of the highest standard…Melissa sets a high standard for herself and her team, one she regularly exceeds!
When it was “show-time”, the girls went to the next level of performance, and the group was immensely popular amongst our crowd…It is not an understatement to assert that Melissa changed the face of cheer leading in the National Rugby League!

Thank you for all your hard work and awesome performances making the surprise party for Michael’s 60th birthday on 21 April a wonderful night.
You all helped enliven the party and make it a memorable and amazing night!
Vince and the City Fever band were fabulous, getting most of our family and friends onto the dance floor. I got many complements about the great music that got the party rocking. The dancers were such a great surprise to guests, adding a special sparkle to the evening.
Once again, thank you for all your outstanding performances that created an awesome night and made the surprise party a great success.

We had the City Fever band, from Entourage, entertain us at the recent Skal National Assembly Gala Dinner, ACT
The event brings tourism executives from all over the country together to discuss what we are doing as a group to continue the support of Skal International, and the tourism industry in Australia. The Gala dinner on the Saturday night is a chance for all attendees to meet with colleagues in a more social setting, and kick up their heels. It’s also a chance for the host club to put on a show that will remain in the minds of all the attendees.
City Fever Band did not disappoint. Arriving early to ensure they were well set up and starting early to get the mood of the room ready to party from the beginning. The songs played suited the broad audience, with members ranging from their 20’s, to their 90’s. The interaction with the guests was on point, with enough fun, but not so much that other members became disengaged. The band stayed late, and interacted with those members who had yet to go home. The members were delighted that they took the time to engage, and I believe there were some conversations about potential future business.
We would not hesitate to bring City Fever Band back for events both at Mercure Canberra, or for the Skal International Canberra Club.

“On behalf of Australian V8 Ute Racing I just wanted to say a big thank you to you and your whole Entourage team for your amazing performance and professionalism at our Presentation Night.
Your performance was amazing, from the dancing, singing and costumes…
I’d have no hesitation recommending your group to anyone!
I’ve heard nothing but great feedback from all who attended and we’ve even had a few queries about how to book.
Thanks again I thoroughly enjoyed my night.”
Erin Bain
“Thank you so much to you and your team! It was such a great night, the atmosphere was fantastic and the show was amazing!”
Brysson Leeson
“We received great feedback from members across the board – for all three events. They enjoyed the show thoroughly and commented that it appealed to all age groups – which was the goal – so good to hear we delivered!
As you know it’s an annual dinner and I’m happy to consider you again for next year – just need to think of a different theme.
Thank you for all your assistance and good luck with your overseas work as well.”
