Quick answer: Firestorm Talent & Entertainment's specialty acts typically start around $495–$1,500 depending on category, based on local, non-holiday rates. Fire and LED performers start at $495 per performer for 30 minutes, Living Decor items start at $950 each, Dance duos start at $650, and Cirque acts start at $1,500. Travel fees apply outside San Diego, Orange County, Los Angeles, or Las Vegas, and a 4% credit card processing fee applies to card payments. Stunts pricing is quoted individually based on the specific request.

What determines the cost of specialty entertainment?

Specialty entertainment pricing is typically built around a few core factors:

Category — different acts require different levels of training, equipment, and preparation, which shows up in the starting rate.
Duration — longer performance blocks or additional performers within a single act increase cost.
Number of performers or items — Living Decor, for example, is priced per item, so booking multiple pieces (a champagne dress plus strolling tables plus a mirror ball dancer) multiplies accordingly.
Location — rates above reflect local, non-holiday pricing; travel fees apply for events outside the core service area.
Custom elements — programming or customization (like LED tool programming) can add a flat additional fee on top of the base rate.

Starting rates by category

Fire Performance Starts at $495 per dancer for 30 minutes of service. Available as either a scheduled stage show or ambiance-style strolling performance throughout an event.

LED Performance Starts at $495 per performer, using the same rate structure as Fire Performance. LED tool/prop programming is an additional flat $150.

Living Decor Starts at $950 per item. Since Living Decor acts (champagne dress, strolling tables, mirror ball dancers, and similar) are priced individually, combining multiple pieces for a single event increases the total accordingly.

Cirque / Circus Starts at $1,500 for Cirque acts.

Dance Duo performances start at $650, which includes two short performances followed by a guest interaction segment — options include a photo op, a short dance lesson, a brief history lesson on the dance style, or a hype/energy segment to get guests engaged.

Stunts Pricing for Stunts is handled through a specific, individual discussion rather than a fixed starting rate, since stunt requests vary widely by scope, safety requirements, and production complexity.

What additional fees should I plan for?

Credit card processing fee — a 4% fee applies to payments made by credit card.
Travel fees — apply for events outside Firestorm Talent's core service area (San Diego, Orange County, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas).
Holiday rates — the starting prices above reflect non-holiday, local rates; holiday-period bookings should expect different pricing.

How do I get an accurate quote for my event?

Because pricing depends on category, duration, number of performers or items, and location, the most accurate way to get a number for your specific event is to share your event date, location, and which categories you're interested in. This is especially true for Stunts, where every quote is built around the specific request.
