Total Entertainment Network Since 1986, Total Entertainment Network has set new standards in the entertainment industry by booki

Since receiving a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of British Columbia in 1979, Al Guraliuk has been actively involved in Vancouver's musical community. For over 30 years Al was leader of Ch*****ne, 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 for 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! The combination of Al's musical credentials and extensive business experience provides him with the rare trait of being both creative and organized. Using the same skill set, our team will look after every detail of booking entertainment for your event from private functions to international congresses. "As a performer and an entertainment consultant, I have an understanding of the needs of both the client and the talent. This experience enables me to ensure both parties are happy..... a guaranteed recipe for success" Al Guraliuk

Beating Heart brings First Nations traditional music and jazz guitar together. Two cultures, two musical practices, meeting in the middle. That’s where the beating heart is. ❤️

For events that want to honour First Nations culture in a cocktail or background music setting, this is a way to do it with real care. The music is the celebration, not an add-on.

If that’s what your event needs, send us a message and we’ll help you create the same vibe 📩

We think DJing differently. Here’s what that looks like.

Today our roaming mobile DJ was out at the CIBC Run for the Cure, right in the middle of the crowd, giving the runners a boost on their way to the finish. 🎧🎀 Great cause, and a great day for us too.

A DJ doesn’t have to be the person behind the turntable. Ours is the music, the hype and the MC in one, and he works from the heart of the crowd so the energy stays close to everyone.

That’s the kind of custom thinking our creative team brings to corporate events, festivals and fundraisers across Vancouver.

Follow along for more from our events. 🎬

We’re at today. We have our mobile roaming DJ ready to go ready to entertain all the runners coming across the finish line. Come have a party with us at the finish line! CIBC Run for the Cure Vancouver

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.
