What our clients say
We booked a jazz band for our 300-person corporate gala. In less than a day I already had three comparable quotes. The chosen entertainer was exactly what we were looking for. Highly recommended for corporate event organisers.

As head of events for a multinational with offices in three cantons, I need absolute reliability. Stagend guarantees clear contracts, secured payments and professional entertainers. It has become our preferred supplier.

For our SME's 10th anniversary we looked for a magician and a DJ. With Stagend we found both on a single platform, transparent quotes and zero surprises on the final cost. We will definitely use it again.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before booking your entertainer on Stagend.
Stagend is the leading Swiss platform for booking entertainers for corporate events. Active since 2010 and based in Lugano, it covers all 26 cantons. You find bands, DJs, musicians, magicians, comedians and many other professionals. The process is simple: describe your event, receive free quotes and book securely with secure payment.
Enter a description of your event in the search bar: entertainer type, city, date, number of people and budget. You will receive quotes from musicians available in that city. Compare proposals, choose your preferred one and confirm the booking with a PDF contract included.
Yes, Stagend regularly handles large-scale events: corporate conventions, gala dinners, team building, festivals and ceremonies. The catalogue includes orchestras, full bands, entertainment shows and international entertainers. Contact us directly for bespoke requirements.
Yes. One of Stagend's core features is the ability to submit a single event brief and receive offers from multiple artists or suppliers simultaneously. You can compare profiles, pricing, and availability side by side before making any commitment. This saves significant time and is especially useful for corporate events where budget and fit both matter.
All quotes on Stagend include Stagend's commission - there are no hidden fees. The price shown is the price you pay. Additional costs may apply only if explicitly requested, such as SUISA music licensing fees, withholding tax handling for foreign artists, or specific technical production services. These are always communicated transparently before any commitment is made.
Stagend uses a secure payment system where funds are held safely after booking and only released to the artist within 24 hours after the event takes place. Payment is accepted via invoice, credit/debit card, or TWINT. A formal PDF contract is issued for every booking. In the event of a cancellation, the terms outlined in the contract apply, providing organizers with clear protection and recourse. Most artists apply standard cancellation conditions, which means a full refund up to 36 hours before the event - however, we recommend checking the specific cancellation terms directly on the offer received.
Yes. Stagend simplifies the organizer's work by managing every administrative requirement on their behalf: SUISA licensing for public music performances, official setlist submission, and withholding tax handling for foreign artists performing in Switzerland. Each service is offered as a clear, separate option - so organizers always know exactly what they're getting and at what cost.
Artists on Stagend are reviewed and approved before appearing on the platform. Profiles include media samples (video, audio), detailed descriptions of their repertoire and technical requirements, and verified reviews from past event organizers. Stagend's team can also provide personal recommendations based on the specific needs of your event.
