We Cater To All Types of EVENTS Big or Small
Founded by Dan Wiles, HoundDog Entertains unites a broad spectrum of characters and array performance skills into flexibly awesome experiences for your private party, corporate event, community gathering, or special celebration. We strive to help provide active engagement with top-notch entertainment for a rewarding experience for your party goers, guests, visitors, and guests.
What can we offer your event?
Whether for your next trade show, charity event or employee holiday/annual party, meeting/planning retreat, etc... HoundDog has just the best-in breed solution for your entertainment and event needs. We go beyond "add-on" entertainment by helping work with your ideas, motivations and event needs to help you plan an incredibly engaging live experience that will keep everyone talking. If you just want a simple balloon wrangler or juggler, we've got you covered...but we want you to know that we can also help you beyond the expected and outside of the box custom engagements, too! Have an experienced showman, emcee/MC, and/or character performer to assist in attracting attention to your pop-up event or trade show booth...entertain visitors to your business or company event...etc... The right emcee is more that entertaining or funny, they're the flexible force helping you stitch it all together...they're charged with helping set the tone for your entire event, and must have the improvisational charisma to keep your visitors/audience from knowing the bumps in the road (should something go wrong or need to be changed at the last moment...which may occur beyond your control.)
"You're wonderful...you draw such a big crowd. Everyone loves your balloons"
