World-Class Acts, Delivered Anywhere
We are a boutique international entertainment agency based in Barcelona that specializes in sourcing and delivering world-class talent for corporate and private events across Europe and the Middle East. Founded in 2021 with over a decade of combined experience in the entertainment industry, Chrio Entertainment has built a reputation for bringing exceptional artists, speakers, and performers to events that demand nothing short of extraordinary.
Events are ephemeral, but emotions last. That’s our philosophy. Whether you’re planning a corporate gala in London, a destination wedding in Dubai, a brand activation in Madrid, or a high-profile conference in Riyadh, we ensure that every artist, every performance, and every moment resonates with your guests.
Who we are
Chrio Entertainment was born from a simple belief: boutique matters. With a combined 12+ years of international event experience, our founding team has collaborated with over 15,000 artists and clients across 50+ countries. We’ve seen what works, what scales, and most importantly, what creates unforgettable experiences.
Unlike large aggregator platforms, we’re a lean, responsive team led by founders who personally oversee every booking. This means faster decision-making, genuine expertise on every artist we recommend, and accountability that you can feel.
We specialize in a wide range of entertainment categories: stage shows and full-length productions, cutting-edge technology acts (robots, video mapping, holograms), live music and DJs across every genre, celebrity artists and keynote speakers, themed entertainment and immersive experiences, and interactive walkabout entertainment.
Why choose CHRIO Entertainment for international events
Speed matters when time zones don’t align. When you’re coordinating an event across continents, every hour counts. We respond to inquiries within hours, not days. Our network of local artists and suppliers in each market means we can source talent, negotiate contracts, and lock in confirmations faster than larger agencies that need to coordinate across multiple departments.
We source direct, not through brokers. The entertainment industry is full of middlemen. We bypass them. We work directly with artists, local talent agencies, and specialists in each market—which means better pricing for you, better communication, and artists who actually want to work your event (not whoever the broker could find).
Local expertise in every market we serve. We don’t just know entertainment; we know the specifics of your market. What works in London’s corporate event space is different from what resonates in a Riyadh gala. What’s cutting-edge in Barcelona is already outdated in Dubai. Our experience in Spain, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and the UK means we understand local preferences, cultural nuances, and unspoken expectations.
Founder-led accountability. Your booking isn’t handed off to an account manager who’s managing 50 other clients. It’s overseen by someone who has a stake in making your event remarkable. That changes everything.
Our global markets & expertise
Spain & Europe. Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Seville—we have deep connections with Spanish and European artists, venues, and event teams. Whether you need a flamenco show for a private dinner or a cutting-edge DJ for a corporate after-party, we source locally and deliver professionally.
United Kingdom. London’s corporate event scene demands precision and polish. We’ve worked with UK event planners, MICE professionals, and destination wedding planners to bring international talent to the UK, and local talent to events around the world.
United Arab Emirates. Dubai and Abu Dhabi are major hubs for high-profile corporate events and private celebrations. We’ve produced entertainment for major festivals, luxury hotel events, and exclusive private parties. Our network of local performers and international artists based in the UAE gives us unique access to top talent.
Saudi Arabia. The Saudi event market is growing rapidly, and entertainment standards are rising. We’ve partnered with international event planners and corporate clients to deliver world-class performances that meet the highest expectations for VIP events and conferences.
What makes us different from the big agencies
Size is not strength. Large entertainment agencies like Scarlett Entertainment and Contraband have impressive rosters, but they also have overhead, bureaucracy, and limited ability to customize. By the time your request reaches the person with actual authority, weeks have passed. We’re small, focused, and empowered to say yes.
We curate, not just supply. Anyone can send you a list of available acts. We recommend artists specifically suited to your event, your audience, your budget, and your vision. We turn down bookings that don’t fit. That pickiness is what ensures every act we place is genuinely excellent.
Transparent pricing, no surprises. We quote all-in pricing upfront. No hidden rider fees, no last-minute mark-ups, no “but the artist needs additional…” We’ve already solved those problems.
You get the founder. Small enough that I personally oversee major bookings. Large enough to have international connections and logistical expertise.
How we work with you
- Step 1: Understand your vision. We ask questions about your event, your audience, your budget, the vibe you want to create. This matters more than anything else.
- Step 2: Source and recommend. We research, we reach out to our network, and we present options that actually fit. Not a generic spreadsheet—specific recommendations with context.
- Step 3: Negotiate and lock in. Once you choose, we handle contracts, logistics, technical requirements, and all coordination. You get regular updates.
- Step 4: Day-of coordination. We ensure the artist arrives on time, technical setups work, and everything runs flawlessly.

Frequently asked questions
- How far in advance do we need to book? Ideally 6-8 weeks for major international events. That said, we regularly pull off incredible bookings with less notice, sometimes 2-3 weeks, because of our direct artist relationships and smaller network. Don’t hesitate to ask even if you’re short on time.
- Can you work with our existing event team? Absolutely. We partner with event planners, MICE professionals, and in-house event teams all the time. You’re the lead, we’re the entertainment specialists. We slot in seamlessly.
- What if we’re not sure what entertainment we want? That’s our expertise. Tell us about your event, your guests, your budget, and your goals. We’ll recommend options you probably haven’t considered.
- Do you work with celebrity artists? Yes, we do—and we’re selective about it. Celebrity bookings are expensive, take significant lead time, and don’t always translate to great events. We’ll be honest about whether it makes sense for your situation.
- What’s your cancellation policy? Standard industry terms: 100% refund up to 60 days before the event, 50% from 60-30 days, non-refundable within 30 days (unless we find a replacement). Artist contracts vary, but we manage the risk on our end.
- Can you provide references? Yes. We work with event planners, corporate clients, and wedding planners across Europe and the Middle East. We’re happy to connect you with past clients who can speak to our professionalism and results.
- What if the artist gets sick or cancels? We have backup artists on every booking. It’s part of the service. You’ll never be left scrambling.
- How do we get started? Email us at xabier.garces@chrioent.com or call +34 670 21 22 18. We’ll schedule a call to understand your event and provide initial recommendations. No obligation, no pushy follow-up—just genuine partnership.
