Ever wonder what goes into creating a show that feels effortless? The truth is, the magic you see on stage is only possible thanks to meticulous planning, skilled professionals, and a whole lot of behind-the-scenes hustle.
At Legacy Vision Entertainment, we don’t just supply talent — we build unforgettable experiences. From the first phone call to the final encore, here’s how we bring live entertainment to life.
📞 1. The Initial Brief: Listening Comes First
It all starts with a conversation. Whether you're planning a corporate gala, wedding reception, festival, or themed tribute night, we want to understand your vision, your audience, and your priorities.
What’s the venue like?
How many guests are attending?
What’s the vibe — elegant, high-energy, nostalgic?
Do you need multiple acts or one show-stopping headline?
Once we know what success looks like for you, we begin building a bespoke entertainment plan.
🧑🎤 2. Selecting the Right Acts
With a roster of Scotland’s finest tribute performers, vocalists, bands and musical theatre-style productions, we tailor the perfect lineup for your event.
Want to open with THE GREATEST TRIBUTE and finish with a 90s DJ set from DJ BLOBBI?
No problem. Fancy a double-bill featuring ABBAdonia and GREASE vs. Dirty Dancing? We’ll make it work.
This stage is all about finding the right musical journey for your guests.
🎛 3. Tech Specs & Site Visit
Next, we collaborate with the venue to ensure everything behind the scenes is rock-solid. This includes:
PA and lighting requirements
Staging setup
Dressing room space
Access times for load-in and soundcheck
Power, acoustics and risk assessments
If the event is large-scale — like a festival or outdoor gig — we’ll conduct a site visit to plan stage positioning, audience flow, and logistical access.
🎚 4. Soundcheck: The Hidden Hero
Soundcheck is where the magic starts to take shape. Performers arrive early, technicians test equipment, and we dial in everything from microphone EQ to lighting transitions.
It’s also a crucial moment for artists to get a feel for the space and adjust their performance accordingly.
No audience yet — but the energy is already building.
🎤 5. Showtime: Every Detail Matters
This is when it all comes together. From the MC’s introduction to the opening chord, our team ensures every moment runs to time and feels effortless to the audience.
We often coordinate:
Staggered set times
Costume changes
Audience interaction moments
Smooth transitions between acts
Encore planning (always have one ready!)
And if anything goes off-script? You’d never know. That’s the benefit of working with seasoned pros.
💫 6. Pack Down & Post-Show
Once the crowd clears, our crew and performers begin the final phase — pack down. Lighting rigs, PA systems, costumes and props are carefully dismantled and loaded out.
We also take time to debrief with clients, gather feedback, and start conversations about future events.
