Services
Event Entertainment Services in Edmonton and Across the West
One Edmonton team for the whole event. Corporate AV, fun-money casino, DJ and hosting, Music Poker, trivia, karaoke and more, day or evening. You plan less. Your guests remember more.
One team, one booking
Book the whole event with one call
Most event companies do one thing. You end up managing a sound vendor, a casino vendor, a host and three invoices. Advanced Entertainment handles it all under one roof.
You tell us the date, the room and the feeling you want. We bring the microphones, the lighting, the tables, the games and the person on the mic who ties the room together. One point of contact from the first email to the last song. Reducing the stress of planning is our commitment to you, so you get to enjoy your own event instead of running it.
We are based in Edmonton and travel for the events worth traveling for. We have run rooms from Golden and Dawson Creek in BC to Saskatoon and Moose Jaw in Saskatchewan. Whether your event is downtown, in Sherwood Park, out in Leduc or a few provinces over, you get the same team and the same standard. Companies like Stream-Flo have booked the casino, DJ and AV in a single booking. You can too.

Service one
Corporate AV and Lighting
Clean sound and sharp lighting for conferences, AGMs, awards days and staff parties across Edmonton.
What's included
Speakers sized to the room, wired and wireless mics, a mixing setup run by a real operator, screen and projector support, and stage and uplighting to match your brand colours. We handle load-in, sound checks and the quiet fixes during the event so nobody in the audience ever notices a hiccup.
Who it's for
Edmonton companies running conferences, annual general meetings, awards days, product launches and holiday parties. If you have a speaker, a screen or a stage, you want this handled by people who do it every week.

Service two
Fun-Money Casino
Real tables, real dealers, real chips, all fun money. The energy of a casino floor with none of the betting.
What it is
We bring the casino to your event. Full-size tables, professional dealers and stacks of chips, all played for fun money. Guests are not betting real cash. They play for prizes or bragging rights, and the dealers walk everyone through the rules so first-timers feel like regulars in five minutes.
What's included
Blackjack, roulette, craps, baccarat, poker and a money wheel, staffed by dealers who keep the table friendly and moving. We scale from an intimate room of 10 to a floor of 1000. You pick the games, we set the tables and run the whole thing.
Who it's for and the Edmonton angle
Corporate parties, fundraisers, stag and stagettes and milestone celebrations. A casino floor turns a quiet reception into a room full of people cheering at the same table. It is one of the most requested extras for Edmonton holiday parties, and it pairs perfectly with a DJ once the tables close. Bringing it to a hotel or hall? Check our venues page.
Service three
DJ and Hosting
A DJ who reads the room and a host who keeps the day moving, from the first announcement to the last song.
What it is
Music and a microphone in the hands of someone who has done it for 33 years. Perfect timing during the formal moments, the right background music through dinner, and the dance floor party nobody wants to leave. When you need an emcee, we keep the schedule on track and the crowd with you.
What's included
A professional DJ and sound system, planning to match your playlist and your no-play list, timed announcements, and an emcee who can run awards, introductions and the flow of the day. Tarcy spent years on Edmonton radio from 1997 to 2010, so the mic work sounds polished, not amateur.
Who it's for
Weddings, corporate galas, awards days and pub events. Anywhere you need music and a steady voice guiding the room. Planning a wedding? Everything for your day lives on our weddings page.
Service four
Music Poker
Our own game, and one of the most fun things you can put in an Edmonton room. A mashup of name that tune, music bingo and a poker-style hand.
What it is
Music Poker is a game we built. Guests listen, guess and build a winning hand as the songs play. You need zero music knowledge and zero poker knowledge to jump in. It is designed so everyone at the table has a great time, whether they know every song or none of them.
What's included
A host to run the game, the full song and scoring setup, and prizes for the winners. We run it as a weekly draw for bars, pubs and lounges, and it is a standout at corporate events when you want something guests have never played anywhere else.
Who it's for and the Edmonton angle
Venues that want a weekly draw people come back for, and companies that want an interactive game at their party. We have run weekly Music Poker at O2's in Millwoods for more than eight years, so this is a proven crowd-pleaser, not an experiment. Ask us about a weekly slot for your Edmonton venue.
Service five
Trivia and Karaoke
The two games that fill a room on a weeknight, hosted by people who keep it fast, fair and fun.
What it is
Hosted trivia that keeps every table in the game, and karaoke with a clean sound system and a host who gets people up to sing. Both work as a weekly venue event or a one-off at your party.
What's included
A host, the questions or the song library, the microphones and sound, and the scoring or rotation handled for you. You just open the doors. We run the room and keep the energy up from the first question to the last song.
Who it's for and the Edmonton angle
Pubs, lounges and restaurants that want reliable weeknight traffic, plus corporate teams that want a lighter, interactive event. We host weekly trivia and karaoke across multiple Sherlock Holmes Hospitality venues, so we know how to keep a regular crowd coming back.
Service six
Comedians, Hypnotists and Photo Booths
The extras that turn a good event into the one people talk about for years.
What it is
Live entertainment and keepsakes to fill out your event. Stand-up comedians for a laugh, a stage hypnotist for a show your guests will retell for months, and photo booths that send everyone home with something to keep.
What's included
We book and coordinate the performer or the booth, handle the tech they need, and slot them into the run of your event so the timing feels effortless. Because we are already running your sound and hosting, the whole thing flows as one show instead of a stack of separate acts.
Who it's for and the Edmonton angle
Corporate parties, fundraisers, staff appreciation days and celebrations that want a headline moment. These pair naturally with a casino floor or a DJ, and because it all comes from one Edmonton team, you are not chasing five vendors to build one great event.

Questions
Common questions about our services
Can one company really handle my whole Edmonton event?
Yes. That is the whole point. Corporate AV, casino tables, DJ, hosting, Music Poker, trivia, karaoke and live entertainment all come from one Edmonton team with one point of contact. You book once instead of chasing five vendors. Stream-Flo booked casino, DJ and AV together, and plenty of clients bundle two or three services for one event.
Is the fun-money casino real gambling?
No. The tables, dealers and chips are real, but every hand is played for fun money. Guests are never betting real cash. They play for prizes or bragging rights, and the dealers teach anyone who has never played. It is the energy of a casino floor with none of the betting, for groups from 10 to 1000.
What is Music Poker, and do I need to know poker or music?
Music Poker is a game we created, a mix of name that tune, music bingo and a poker-style scoring hand. You need no music knowledge and no poker knowledge to play. It is built so everyone has a great time. We have run it weekly at O2's Millwoods for over eight years, and it is a hit at corporate events too.
Do you only do evening events?
No. We run daytime and evening events. Conferences, AGMs and awards days happen in daylight, and weddings and pub events run late. Whatever time your event lands, we bring the sound, lighting and hosting to match it.
Do you travel outside Edmonton?
We do. We are based in Edmonton and travel across Alberta, BC and Saskatchewan and beyond. We have run events as far out as Golden and Dawson Creek in BC and Saskatoon and Moose Jaw in Saskatchewan. If your event is in the Edmonton area or a few provinces over, ask us and we will let you know.
Can you provide corporate AV for a conference or awards day?
Yes. We handle sound, microphones, projection and stage lighting for business events of every size. Presenters get heard, slides show clean and the awards moment gets the right light. See the full picture on our corporate events page.
How many guests can you handle?
From an intimate room of 10 to a full ballroom of 1000. We size the sound, the tables and the staffing to your room. Tell us your headcount and venue and we will scope it. Not sure the space works? Our venues page can help.
How far ahead should I book?
The sooner the better, especially for popular Edmonton dates in the holiday season and wedding season. Reach out with your date and we will tell you what is open. Even if your plans are still loose, an early conversation makes the whole thing easier.
