Entertainment in Central Coast

Booking the Right Entertainer

Most Central Coast celebrations need two kinds of help: something to listen to and something to watch. The suppliers on this page cover both, and every one of them comes to you, whether the party is on the Woy Woy Peninsula, around Terrigal and Avoca, along the Tuggerah Lakes or up in the hinterland.

On the music side, DJ Bass Sick and Soho DJ mix live and bring their own sound and lights. Blue Vinyl and Midnight Black Band cover the reception-and-dance-floor end of things, each able to shrink to an acoustic duo for a ceremony, while Dolce Strings adds a classical quartet for ceremonies, launches and dinners. For a do-it-yourself night, Central Coast Jukebox Hire drops off a touchscreen karaoke machine with microphones and disco lights.

For something to watch, Aluminus Dance & Entertainment stages showgirl, cabaret, fire and LED acts, and Roundabout Circus sends stilt walkers, jugglers and acro-balance performers. Parents planning a child's birthday can call on Elkie Hollow for fairy and mermaid parties, Teddy Bear Entertainment for face painting and balloon twisting, or Party Chameleon Central Coast for character, disco and magic parties.

A rough guide to who suits what:

Dancing after dinner – a DJ, or a covers band for a live feel
Ceremony or cocktail hour – a string quartet or an acoustic duo
A crowd that likes to sing – a karaoke jukebox delivered to the house
Kids' birthdays – face painters, balloon twisters and character hosts
Hens and bucks nights (18+ only) – the adults-only performers listed separately below

The adults-only suppliers are Damien's Party Entertainment and Cheeky Strippers, who supply male shows and topless waiters, and Dani's Dolls and Sydney Topless Waitresses, who supply topless waitresses and showgirls. They are booked for hens nights, bucks parties and grown-up birthdays only. Narrow things down with the DJs and bands pages.
