Weddings Entertainment Specialists

We Assist You to get the Right Entertainment for Your Requirements at Your Wedding Ceremony & Wedding Reception

We understand that Your Wedding Day is one of the most important and special days that you will experience in your lifetime.  We share this understanding with you and we will work with you to provide you with the best possible entertainment to enhance your special day.

We only recommend the best acts to meet your particular requirements – not just the same two or three acts for every function (as some people do).

Some people and businesses only recommend the same two or three acts for each and every wedding ceremony and wedding reception - usually those that they have personally experienced or have become friendly with.  They may not know, or consider whether, there are other acts that better suit your requirements.  Additionally, some entertainers will tell clients that they are ideal for just about every function – just to get another job (if asked for additional recommendations they usually recommend their mates).   We won’t recommend acts to you unless they do actually meet your particular requirements.

We have the best knowledge of the entertainment industry in Cairns, Port Douglas & the wider Tropical North Queensland region.  We consider each client’s particular requirements before recommending the most ideal acts. 

We however, have justly earned our reputation as the most professional and reliable Wedding Entertainment Agency in Cairns, Port Douglas & the wider Tropical North Queensland region.  We focus on Wedding Entertainment (not chair covers, theming or catering etc) and have a far more specialised; deeper and wider knowledge of acts that work well for wedding ceremonies & receptions in Tropical North Queensland than other wedding suppliers.  We tailor our entertainment recommendations to suit the individual requirements of each wedding couple. 

With MEA Entertainment you also get the free resource of having one of our entertainment managers in the background; overseeing the entertainment at your wedding ceremony and wedding reception, to assist to ensure that they are the best enhancement for your special day – as well as receiving our accurate and un-biased recommendations.

We only recommend wedding Entertainment Acts that have proven to be of the high quality and value for money required to meet our clients’ requirements.  Many acts have not made the grade - and are excluded from the MEA Entertainment listings.

Hi Jane,
I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your help during the planning of our wedding.  David and I had the most perfect day and without your help, it would not have run so smoothly.
Thanks again,
Courtney.

Hi Elyssia
 
We just wanted to say a massive 'thankyou' to the singer for her amazing performance 2 weeks ago.  It's very difficult organising these types of entertainments when you can't actually have a real-life taster before!  However, she was just perfect and everyone had such a great time.
 
The day went perfect with no hitches and we thankyou once again for everything - it was a purely magical day.
Big kisses and hugs
Hanifa & Terry Valentine

Just wanted to send a BIG THANKYOU through to the duo who played at our Wedding on The 10th October 2009 at Sea Temple Resort Port Douglas
They were absolutely fantastic all of us had a great night. Some of the guests actively helped the duo out with the tambourine and congo drums. This was really fun!!!
And twinkle toes which we now nickname my dad had an absolute ball.
We would highly recommend them to anyone Money well spent.
MEA Entertainment were also very professional and were very helpful. Organising a wedding interstate makes it easier when you have people who take pride in their work and follow through promptly.
Superb night, Awesome  Venue and Excellent Entertainment.
Thankyou So much

Hi Jane
 
I just wanted to send you a quick message to say how fantastic we thought the band were for our wedding reception.  Many of our guests commented on the quality of the music and they had everyone up and dancing the whole night.  The also did a brilliant job of our bridal dance song.  We simply couldn't have asked for a better performance on the night.
 
Thanks again for all your help in the past few months,
Phil & Fiona Goldsmith

Dear Elyssia
I just wanted to pass on our sincere thanks to the singer/guitarist, our Soprano and the Classical Trio for their fantastic performances at our wedding on August 22. 
Everyone commented on how wonderful the wedding ceremony was and duly noted the talent of the Soprano and Trio.  They were a key part of the ceremony, performed brilliantly and set the mood for having every female in the audience crying with happiness at one point.
The singer/guitarist was the complete professional, wowed the crowd and was a fantastic choice for our event under the north Queensland skies. 
We are indebted to all five and please pass on our thanks and best wishes for the future.
With warm regards
Charlie & Anna

Just letting you know how the music went for the wedding.
 
The flute on the beach was just magic, she was able to position herself, so the wind caught the music and carried back into the ceremony.  The sound was just beautiful  and very appropriate for a beach wedding.  I would have no hesitation in recommending her in the future if you had clients that needed further information.
 

Regards
Andrea

Dear Jane,
After a fantastic couple of weeks up north we have now returned to Melbourne.  I just had to let you know how pleased I was with our entertainment we booked for the ceremony & reception.  We had so many positive comments from our guests.  Everything was just perfect.  Thank you so much and please pass on my thanks to all involved. 
My only regret is that I personally didn't get to enjoy more of the classical duo both before and after the ceremony but I can't be too selfish, I guess I did have a wedding to get through.
It was such a pleasure dealing with MEA Entertainment.  I would highly recommend your services to anyone who needs entertainment in FNQ.

Many thanks.
Kindest regards,
Sandra Stephan

Hi Jane,
We just wanted to email you to say a big thank you to you for the beautiful flute playing at our wedding.  I remember from the day that is sounded beautiful, but as there was so much going on, I can’t remember all the music that was played.  We have watched our wedding day, and all the music sounds so beautiful on it throughout the ceremony.  Thank you so much – if we know anyone else who decides to get married up that way, we will certainly recommend they contact you.
Thank you also for organising the singer/guitarist to play at our reception– please pass on our thanks to him too.  He did a great job and the music he played was wonderful and had everyone up dancing throughout the night.  He played great music throughout the different stages of the night and when it came to party time, all the guest loved what he played! 
Thanks again for all your help and your professional organisation of the day and night.
Alicia & Craig Boyce.

Dear Jane,

Further to our telecon, just dropping a note to thankyou for the committed and extremely professional service we received both in the months leading up to our wedding and on the day.  Your help and advice was invaluable in helping us choose the appropriate acts for our day and what fabulous acts they were too!  Please provide our personal thanks to the Classical Trio for taking the time to learn our the beautiful Bernard Fanning song we had chosen for the Processional and also the entertainment they provided for our guests at not one, but two venues!  The guys of the band were wonderful, fantastically friendly and you were right, read the crowd perfectly.  A huge thankyou to them for including our accomplished pianist guest in their act as well, they were true professionals! 
I have recommended MEA over and over on the bridal forum I used and know of 3-4 girls that have now contacted you for their weddings so I am more than pleased to know they are such good hands.
Thanks again Jane,
Bianca & Matthew Puryer

Hi BL, we are using http://www.mea-entertainment.com.au. If you email them and tell her what you are thinking they will send you details of all the relevant acts they have. Then when you've narrowed it down they will email you demos and playlists for them.
The reason why we went with them was also that they send a representative from the agency to stay the whole time to make sure it all goes smooth (you don't have to feed them LOL!) I really liked the idea of not having to worry about liaising with the entertainment and venue etc.!!

Hello Jane and Ian
 
Tim and I are off on our honeymoon overseas on Wednesday but before we go we wanted to thank you both for being part of our wedding.  We both had a fabulous day and night and all the guests had a ball.
You have both been so easy and professional to work with and took a lot of stress and worry from me organising the day by being so organised and paying attention to detail yourselves.
Please pass our thanks to the band who were sensational, they created the atmosphere and I had many comments about how good they were.
And the dance girls!  Well they are still being talked about by everyone that was at the wedding.  They certainly topped the night off, were a big surprise for the guests and a real hit!  Worth every cent for the show they put on.
Thanks again, if we are ever have another function and need entertainment we will certainly be in touch and will recommend your agency to others.
Best regards
Cindy Harkness, or I should say... Cindy and Tim Eagle!

Good morning Jane,
It's Joseph Kokotovic and Megumi Nukazawa writing. Although the wedding was a month ago I would just like to say thank you very much for organising both the singer and the harpist to sing and play at our Wedding ceremony.
Many people have seen the DVD and have commented on the singer's beautiful voice, so please pass on the compliments to her. Also please tell them please that Megumi and Joseph say thank you so much for making our Wedding that little more special.
Thank you and warm regards; Joseph and Megumi
