Dallas'sEvent Booking &
Live Entertainment Agency.

Find the right venue in Dallas for your next live event. We help promoters, artists, and private hosts secure halls and theatres in Dallas, the United States — from intimate 100-seat club rooms to 5,000-cap concert halls. Capacity, layout, AV, parking, and licensing all sorted before you sign.

We hold weekend dates while you decide — most Dallas halls give us a 7–14 day exclusive on a soft hold.

DFW hall rental pricing breaks into three tiers and varies sharply by suburb. Club rooms and smaller halls (100-400 cap) in Deep Ellum, Plano, Irving, and Richardson sit at $1,500-$5,500 for a weekend night, often inclusive of in-house sound and basic lighting. Mid-tier theatres and ballrooms (500-1,500 cap) — Music Hall at Fair Park, House of Blues Dallas, the Westin Galleria ballrooms, and the larger Plano/Frisco convention spaces — run $5,500-$18,000 with AV add-ons and house staff minimums. Arena-tier rooms (American Airlines Center, Toyota Music Factory, Verizon Theatre, Globe Life Field for special-event use) are quoted per show with a revenue split structure. For the South Asian wedding and concert market, the most-booked rooms are clustered in Plano, Frisco, Irving, and Richardson — Indian-American banquet halls, hotel ballrooms along the Dallas North Tollway, and the larger purpose-built South Asian event venues that have opened over the last five years to serve what is now the country's fastest-growing Indian-American metro. Liquor licensing in Texas runs through the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC), and any event serving alcohol needs an MX (Mixed Beverage Event) permit filed no later than 21 days before the event date. Local-option matters: Plano, Frisco, and most of Irving are wet jurisdictions, but pockets of Collin and Denton County retain dry or partial-dry status, so we confirm the local-option status of the specific city or precinct before any contract is signed. Common DFW pitfalls: missing the 21-day TABC window, under-budgeting for AT&T Stadium-style production loads on stadium-tier shows, and assuming a Plano-licensed bar arrangement applies to a suburb that is technically dry.

Direct DJ booking for Dallas, the United States — Punjabi wedding DJs, Bollywood/Hindi DJs, club and EDM DJs, dhol players, and full DJ + dhol packages. Sangeet, reception, club night, college party, corporate event — we match the DJ to the room and the crowd.

“

A bundled dhol-DJ-emcee package saves 15–25% versus booking each separately — and the night flows cleaner with one team running the room.

DFW's DJ market is the deepest in Texas and one of the deepest in the US South. The Punjabi/Bhangra circuit is anchored in Plano, Frisco, and Irving, with a resident roster that plays the SA banquet halls every weekend during peak season and routinely cross-tours into Houston, Atlanta, and the East Coast. Bollywood DJs (the genre overlap with hip-hop, Afrobeats, and modern Punjabi) anchor club nights along the Dallas North Tollway and pop-ups in Deep Ellum. The club and EDM circuit runs out of Deep Ellum, Uptown, and Lower Greenville — open-format and house DJs handling corporate, college nights at UTD, SMU, and UNT, and private weddings. The fourth pool — and arguably DFW's signature — is wedding-specialist DJ-MC packages built for the SA-heavy Plano/Frisco market: a single act handling Punjabi, Bollywood, Telugu, Tamil, and Gujarati crossover, including the dhol-DJ-emcee combo critical to a North American Indian wedding flow. Fee bands Catch Movement sees most often in DFW: local Punjabi DJ for a 4-hour sangeet, $1,800-$3,500; Bollywood DJ-MC combo for a full reception (8-10 hours), $4,000-$8,000; touring open-format DJ for a corporate or club booking, $3,000-$10,000; named touring DJ talent quoted on routing through the Texas Triangle. Sound system and basic lighting are typically bundled below $5,000; above that, AV is itemised. DFW's pricing premium over Houston shows up most clearly on top weekend Saturdays in peak season, when Plano/Frisco demand outstrips local DJ supply and we increasingly route DJs in from Houston or Atlanta to cover the calendar.

Wedding entertainment booking for Dallas, the United States — Punjabi singers, dhol players, Bollywood live bands, English-market wedding singers, and emcees. Whether it's a sangeet, mehndi, baraat, reception, or a full multi-day Indian wedding, we route the right talent for the moment.

“

A multi-day Indian wedding has three to five distinct entertainment moments. We sequence all of them under one contract, with one rep on event day.

A DFW South Asian wedding typically runs across three to five distinct entertainment moments — and DFW now has the deepest wedding-entertainment vendor pool of any Texas market because of the Plano-Frisco-Irving SA growth curve. The flow: baraat (dhol-led groom's procession, usually at a Plano or Frisco hotel forecourt), the ceremony (Anand Karaj at the gurdwara, Hindu mandap ceremony, or Telugu/Tamil rite), the sangeet (a high-energy evening with dhol, singers, DJ, and increasingly live bands), the reception (DJ + emcee + occasional live performance slot), and the after-party (DJ-driven). Catch Movement programs across all of these. Most-booked DFW combinations: (1) dhol player + DJ-MC bundle for a Saturday reception, $4,500-$8,000; (2) sangeet headliner package — a Punjabi, Telugu, or Bollywood singer with backing band or playback DJ — $6,500-$30,000 depending on the singer's tier; (3) full ceremony-to-close package (baraat dhol + sangeet act + reception DJ + late-night DJ) $18,000-$55,000 mid-market, $60,000-$300,000+ for celebrity-act sangeets. The Plano-Frisco market specifically supports a layer of multi-language live bands — Bollywood, Telugu, Tamil, Punjabi acoustic acts — that you simply do not find in most other US metros at this volume. Dhol player baraat fees in DFW: single dhol for a 45-90 minute baraat, $600-$1,200; two-dhol setup, $1,000-$1,800. Emcee bookings (host who runs the program, manages family entries, coordinates with the DJ) typically add $1,000-$3,000 to a DFW wedding stack — and DFW emcees increasingly need to cover multiple SA cultural traditions in a single evening because of the cross-community Plano/Frisco wedding norm.

Direct booking for stand-up comedians touring through Dallas, the United States. We work with English-market headliners, regional features, and Punjabi / South Asian comedy circuits — for clubs, theatres, corporate events, college shows, and private parties.

Routing matters more than fee. We usually save 20–40% by aligning to a comic's existing tour passage through your city — same set, lower number.

DFW's stand-up scene is anchored by Hyena's Comedy Club (Dallas and Plano), Addison Improv, and the Texas Theatre alt-circuit, with healthy mainstream comedy traffic through Verizon Theatre Grand Prairie and Music Hall at Fair Park for touring headliners. South Asian and Punjabi-language stand-up is one of the fastest-growing verticals in DFW: comics like Russell Peters, Hasan Minhaj, Zakir Khan, Vir Das, and the broader Indian-American comedy circuit all route DFW because of the Plano and Frisco audience density. Plano in particular has become a default tour stop for Hindi and Punjabi-language touring comics because of the wealth, age mix, and ticket-buying behaviour of the Collin County SA community. Catch Movement books across both English mainstream (Just for Laughs-tier touring acts) and Punjabi/Hindi/Telugu/Tamil-language comedy for private corporate, college, and community shows. Fee bands: open-mic and developing acts (15-min spots), $75-$300; established local headliners (45-60 min sets), $1,200-$3,500; touring national headliners (English), $5,000-$15,000; named SA comedians (Zakir Khan, Vir Das, Hasan Minhaj tour-stop tier when on tour), $10,000-$35,000 + travel. Corporate and college bookings in DFW typically pay a premium for clean material guarantees and pre-approval of set content — we handle the rider language and brief the comic on the audience profile. For private SA wedding or sangeet comedy spots (a 20-30 min comedy interlude before the DJ in Plano/Frisco), $2,500-$6,500 is the working range, and DFW now has enough resident SA comic supply that we can usually land a high-quality spot inside 5-7 weeks. DFW also benefits from being a Texas Triangle stop — we routinely pair Dallas dates with Houston and Austin routings to lock touring SA comics at improved economics for the host, and cross-feeds from Atlanta on the eastern leg are increasingly common.

Direct artist booking specialising in Punjabi, Bollywood, and South Asian touring acts for Dallas, the United States. Whether it's a wedding reception, a sangeet night, a private corporate show, or a public concert, we route the right artist for your audience and budget.

Private bookings of top-tier Punjabi headliners are routing-dependent. We quote within 48 hours once we see the artist's window against your Dallas date.

Direct artist booking in DFW means routing a touring act — Punjabi, Bollywood, South Asian, or English-market — to either a public ticketed show or a private/corporate engagement, almost always inside the Texas Triangle (Dallas-Houston-Austin) leg of a US tour. The biggest annual flows through DFW are Punjabi tours (Diljit Dosanjh, Karan Aujla, AP Dhillon, Shubh have all played American Airlines Center or Toyota Music Factory in the last three seasons), Bollywood concert tours (Arijit Singh, Sonu Nigam, Atif Aslam routings hit DFW on the Texas leg), and the multi-language SA touring traffic (Telugu, Tamil) that increasingly anchors in DFW because of the Plano/Frisco density. Texas Triangle routing pairs DFW with Houston (almost always) and occasionally Austin, with cross-feeds from Atlanta on the eastern leg. Fee bands we see: rising touring acts (300k-1M monthly listeners), $5,000-$30,000 private; established mid-tier (1M-5M listeners), $28,000-$110,000; top-tier headliners (Diljit, Karan Aujla, Arijit tier), $180,000-$1,000,000+ for a private show, public tour fees quoted by promoter share. Immigration and tax work is central to every booking. International artists enter the US on a P-2 visa (reciprocal exchange) or O-1 visa (extraordinary ability), occasionally O-1B for arts-specific cases, with a minimum 60-90 day petition lead time filed by the US agent or promoter. Withholding on the artist's gross fee is 30% under IRC §1441/1442, reducible under Article 18 of the US-India tax treaty when the artist files a Central Withholding Agreement (CWA) with the IRS in advance — without a CWA, the 30% holds. Texas has no state income tax, which simplifies the state-side filing relative to NY, CA, or IL, but the federal CWA, P-2/O-1, and treaty work still have to be done correctly. Catch Movement coordinates all of this with the artist's US management.
