The right artists, advanced properly, for the event you actually want.

Chrissos Music is an entertainment agency for talent buyers — curated bookings for weddings, venues, corporate events, private celebrations, and public events. Based in Savannah, with relationships across the city's restaurant and venue booking desks, and available within about 100 miles along the Lowcountry coast, as well as in college towns such as Statesboro and Athens.

Booking live music should not mean assembling a night from strangers' Instagram pages and hoping the sound, the timing, and the temperament all work on the day. You should have one person who understands the room, the budget, and the feeling you want — then sources the right players, advances the technical details, and stands behind the booking.

That's the work of the Chrissos Music artist agency.

I'm Demetri Chrissos, a Savannah musician, educator, and producer. I use my network and my taste to help talent buyers book entertainment that actually fits — and I'm building that work beyond Savannah as well as at home. In Savannah I already have relationships with nearly all of the booking agents for restaurants and venues. When you come to me, you're not getting a directory. You're getting a curated recommendation, clear contracts, and pre-event coordination so the music is actually ready.

The consult is also a practical guide to the Savannah community and scene, especially if you're coming in from out of town or you're new to how the rooms work here.

I can perform as a soloist, DJ, and MC when the date calls for it, and I can provide professional sound, lighting, and staging. If someone in my network of DJs, musicians, artists, and production experts would serve you better, I'll say so and make that introduction.

Who This Is For

This page is written first for the people doing the hiring.

• Talent buyers, venue bookers, and restaurant or event contacts looking for reliable local and regional artists, with advance work and a professional agreement already in hand

• Couples and wedding planners who want live music — a soloist, a duo, a band, a DJ, or a combination — with one coordinator

• Corporate hosts and private- or public-event planners who need acts that fit a specific vibe, guest count, and budget

• Buyers outside Savannah who want a trusted guide to this scene, or help booking along the Lowcountry coast and in college towns such as Statesboro and Athens

Artists who are ready to be booked are welcome to get in touch. This is not a mass-submission portal, and it is not a promise of representation for every inquiry. Fit matters on both sides. The first job of this page is to help buyers hire well.

What's Included

A typical booking or coordination engagement can include:

• A conversation about the event, the vibe, the timeline, and a realistic budget range — and, when it's useful, a practical orientation to the Savannah scene

• Curated recommendations from a trusted network of soloists, bands, DJs, and production experts — with links so you can actually hear the work

• Vetting for availability, professional fit, and the technical needs of the room

• Booking and contracting, so the date is held properly

• Advance work: repertoire direction, power and audio footprints, load-in, and alignment between artists, the venue, and your other vendors

• A single point of contact through the planning process

I can also perform as a solo artist, DJ, or MC when the brief calls for it, or design a night that combines live sets with a DJ and the sound, lighting, or staging the room needs.

If you want me on site the day of — as a performer, a production lead, or a music lead — we'll include that in the proposal. Otherwise the artists are advanced properly and carry the performance.

Investment: The quote is prepared for your date and your brief, and itemized so you can see the shape of the night. Pricing is quote-only; I don't publish starting packages or other artists' rates. A deposit holds the date; the remaining balance is due before the event on an agreed schedule.

How Booking Works

1. Inquire. Share the date, venue, event type, guest count, the kind of music you want, and a budget range if you have one. A short inquiry form is the best first step. You can also email demetri@chrissosmusic.com or call/text 301-775-6407.

2. We talk. I'll ask the questions that actually affect the booking — vibe, timing, indoor or outdoor, and whether you want one act or a full arc of the day.

3. You receive recommendations and a quote. You'll see who I recommend, why, what they need technically, and what the investment looks like. If a different artist or production lead would serve you better, I'll tell you that too.

4. Contracts and a deposit hold the date. Artists are only secured once agreements are signed and the deposit is received.

5. We advance the event. Repertoire, cues, power, audio, and arrival times are aligned before anyone loads in.

If you are an artist: Send a short introduction, links to your work, a stage plot if you have one, and the kinds of rooms you're hoping to play, to demetri@chrissosmusic.com. If there looks like a fit, we'll schedule a conversation and agree on the relationship in writing before any buyer outreach or booking proceeds.

FAQ

Can you book just a DJ, or just a ceremony singer?

Yes. You can book a single artist, or a coordinated plan that moves from ceremony to cocktail hour to dance floor. I'll recommend only what the event actually needs — including professional sound, lighting, or staging when the room requires it.

Do you only work in Savannah?

Savannah is home base, and I have relationships with nearly all of the booking agents for restaurants and venues here. I also take and coordinate work anywhere within about 100 miles along the Lowcountry coast, and in college towns such as Statesboro and Athens, and I'm expanding this booking work beyond Savannah. Travel is accounted for in the quote.

Will you be there on the day?

Not always, and I won't imply otherwise. Many bookings are fully advanced, with the contracted artists carrying the performance. If you want me on site — as a performer, a production lead, or a day-of music lead — we'll include that in the proposal.

Can we request specific songs or a certain energy?

Yes. Collecting your vision, repertoire direction, and aesthetic requests, then delivering those to the artists, is part of the coordination.

How do you choose who to recommend?

By ear, by professionalism, and by fit for the room — not by who simply happens to be free. I'd rather tell you who is right, or who is available at your budget, than fill a slot with the wrong act.
