There seems to be a lot of things that could make or break a silent auction. From the food to the entertainment to the amount of people that attend. Getting everything correct and having it run smoothly is a feat by anyones standards.

But one of the main things that can make a silent auction a great success is the entertainment. Having the right entertainment in place and booked can make the attendance increase and make the people that attend in a lot better mode.

Honestly a year from now, there is a small chance that people will remember what they ate, what music was playing and who all they met. But they will remember if someone that is a big deal came to the event and spoke and did a meet and greet afterwards.

Getting these people to your event can be a little difficult and can take some time, but it is well worth it in the end. The best thing to do is to think of who you think your audience will be interested in. There are a large number of celebrities and local celebrities that do their part to be apart of different charities. Start by researching this and seeing if there is any chance that someone like this would like to come and visit your event.

Reach out to their publicists and get an idea of their schedules, this way you will know if they would even be available to show up even if they have the time.

It can take some effort and will probably take a lot of handholding and focus, but with enough effort, there is a good chance that celebrities will show up to your event. They need to do this for their own reasons and they just need to find the correct charity to do it with.

It also might be a good idea to think of your geographical location in the world. If you are wanting to get celebrities to fly out to your event, then this might take more effort, if on the other hand they can get in their car and drive to the event in the same city your chances increase dramatically.
