History

East and West Coast based HUPtalentandbooking.com is quickly becoming a leading resource for contracting and booking artists and celebrities in sports, comedy, music and public speaking for private and public functions. HUPtalentandbooking.com books musicians, authors, speakers, sports figures, comedians, models and celebrities for corporate events, private parties, independent promoters, festivals, colleges, clubs, casinos, cruise ships and other venues worldwide.

We are now giving everyone the opportunity through our website to research and contract a variety of entertainers and speakers for their events.

HUPtalentandbooking.com was an idea that President Lisa Darden came up with while working as a filmmaker, producer and President of her own production company Hope Unlimited Productions, Inc. Darden who has a long and very strong background in TV/Film and Music Production and sales was encouraged and sought out by many of the artists she had worked with on her documentary film project “For Such A Time As This” to help them with their creative endeavors. Having also worked as a recruiter and a agent, she was approached numerous times to become an agent for artists who were looking for someone with her unique sales ability and genuine enthusiasm. Lisa has been called “one of the most positive people I have ever met” by recording artist Ray Boltz who is now being booked by HUPtalentandbooking.com. Jason Werner of the singing duo Jason and DeMarco several years ago specifically and rather prophetically encouraged Darden in this direction. One thing lead to another and it has all fallen beautifully into place.

HUPtalentandbooking.com is a unique and exciting company that has as it’s service motto “Exceedingly above and Beyond anything you could dare ask or hope for”... That is Darden’s promise as she books her clients and works with customers at venues across the country and worldwide. Many of our clients are very unique and all have a message of Hope, healing and humor through their music, speaking and comedy. They are all very inspirational, incredibly talented and world changers at heart.

The professional agents at HUPtalentandbooking.com handle the entire process from booking the acts to handling the logistics and contracting them. Once you, a professional event planner or consumer completes and sends the entertainment request form on the site, an agent follows up immediately via email or telephone. The agent provides pricing and availability for the act(s) in question until an offer is made to the appropriate act and accepted. The client can then request that everything is handled, which would include everything from flights to hotels, limos, needed and necessary equipment and the ‘misc. rider requirements’.

We honestly believe that the Sky is the Limit. We look forward to working together to help make your DREAMS become a REALITY.
