For over 30 years Al was leader of Champagne, one of Vancouver's top corporate party bands. ( He is known to remark: "Then Lady Gaga tunes started making me gag!")

Al started Total Entertainment Network in 1986 and has booked talent f

or over 7,500 corporate functions and produced events featuring such headline talent as Dionne Warwick and Burt Bacharach at B.C. Place Stadium for L'Oreal and Canadian Rock legend Randy Bachman for A&W in Palm Springs in addition to contracting the orchestra for the Kanye West concert at GM Place. Other high profile bookings include providing talent for The Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games and an international Vi**ra Commercial!

This experience enables me to ensure both parties are happy..... a guaranteed recipe for success" Al Guraliuk

Same instrument, same sheet music, wildly different experience for the room.

❗️Here’s the thing nobody tells you when you’re booking wedding entertainment:

Anyone can Google “violinist near me.” Finding the one who does more than just playing the music requires some careful vetting. Book the guy who plays? Or book the guy who plays with a smile.

We made that call for a wedding this season. This is the whole reason vetting talent is our job.

Just “competent” is not good enough for you. Follow along for more of how we tell the good ones.

A photobooth you can actually taste. Yes, really. 🍭

The Candy Printer is TENBC’s newest activation: we photograph your guests and print that image directly onto candy. It’s a photobooth, a favor, and a talking point rolled into one. 📸🍬

For planners building out activation lineups, this is the kind of piece that gets photographed, posted, and remembered long after the event wraps.

And for now, it’s exclusive to TENBC in Vancouver. Get it while it’s hot!

We book everything. Literally. Even Darth Vader.

Yep, we brought the Dark Side to Downtown Vancouver’s public movie night. Darth Vader, R2-D2, the full Imperial March, right into a Star Wars screening for the whole city to enjoy. 🎬⚔️

This is what happens when “we can source that act” turns into “we can build an experience around it.” Custom character entertainment, coordinated top to bottom, dropped straight into a city event.

Thank you Downtown Vancouver for letting us march the Empire down your street 🖤

Save this one for your next themed event 📌

Can your cotton candy machine walks into an event… and steals the show?

Most people see a rental. We see an opportunity. Give us the most “standard” piece of event equipment and we’ll turn it into the thing guests are posting about. 🎪

It’s not about the machine, it’s about the experience we design around it. That’s what happens when a creative team gets involved before the event, not just the entertainment.

Save this for your next event planning session 📌

Well, that’s a wrap! What a fun event we did in Toronto today!

Nope, that was not a typo!

Total Entertainment Network of British Columbia now books and produces events across Canada, not just Vancouver. Today it was Carrera Eyewear, with a professional MC guiding guests through a seamless, polished experience from start to finish.

Acrobats, cultural performers, musicians, live bands, DJs, MCs, whatever the moment calls for, our team designs it and books the talent to match. Location is no longer the limiting factor.

So yes, Toronto, we mean you too.

Follow along for more fun events.

Ever grabbed a mic and gotten hit with that ear-splitting ring? That’s not just bad luck. 🎤😬

That feedback squeal happens when frequencies aren’t tuned out BEFORE your event even starts. It’s a basic, non-negotiable step for any AV crew or DJ worth their fee. If it’s happening at your event, someone skipped a step they were PAID to do.

This is exactly why we’re picky about who touches sound at our events. A great AV crew is invisible until you need them, and you should never have to think twice about whether they’ve done their job.

Save this for your next planning call with your production team and ask them to ring out the room for you 📌

This week we teamed up with UBC Opera UBC Opera UBC School of Music to bring “Opera Alfresco” to life, and handled all the AV so the music could take center stage. No mic feedback, no tech hiccups, just great sound.

Here’s the part people don’t always know: TENBC isn’t just a booking agency, we’re a full production company too. Our crew brings pro audio and tech support to any event, so whatever entertainment you’ve hired sounds and looks incredible.

From DJs to bands to full orchestras under the trees, we keep it running smooth and keep costs reasonable.

Anyone can put on a costume. Not everyone can bring it to life. 🍿

That’s what happened downtown last night when our performer stepped into Poppy the popcorn and turned a foam costume into an actual character. Personality, timing, crowd work, the whole bit. People weren’t just posing for photos, they were literally having a great time with a bag of popcorn.

Got a mascot sitting in a closet that needs a personality? We can bring it to life.

During the Vancouver FIFA World Cup games, TENBC helped book entertainment at every single stadium match. Today’s spotlight is on the juggler who had crowds locked in, not with pins or balls, but hoops. Full-body, high-energy, genuinely impressive stuff. 🤹‍♀️

For event planners weighing whether specialty acts are worth it at a large-scale event, this is your answer. The right specialty performer adds a moment people remember and talk about after the event ends.

More behind the scenes moments from the World Cup dropping soon 👀

There’s a version of BC Place almost nobody gets to see: empty seats, quiet concourses, the calm before 60,000 people show up ready to lose their minds over a goal. We got to stand in that silence knowing we built the entertainment for every single game happening there.

That’s the part people don’t see when they think “event entertainment.” It’s not just booking talent, it’s being embedded enough in the moment to know exactly what a stadium needs before the storm hits.

More from inside BC Place coming soon 👀
