LIVE AUCTIONEER SERVICES
Drive Engagement. Maximize Giving. Create Momentum.
At Staar Entertainment, we believe the heart of every successful fundraising event is an auctioneer who can captivate the crowd, fuel excitement, and inspire generosity. Our licensed auctioneers do far more than call bids—they create an energetic, mission-driven atmosphere that elevates the entire experience and keeps your cause front and center.
We specialize in live fundraising auctions and approach every stage of the process with strategy and passion—from early planning to the final winning bid. More than fast-talking emcees, we serve as both auctioneers and event consultants, guiding you through pre-event meetings, floor plan layouts, run-of-show planning, and more. With over 24 years of experience and more than 300 events each year, we bring insider knowledge from some of the largest and most unique fundraisers in the country.
Our team immerses itself in your mission so deeply that your guests will feel we care just as much about your cause as you do. We know donors can tell when an auctioneer is simply there to collect bids—that’s not who we are. We’re as invested in your success as your own team, with one goal in mind: to help you not only hit, but exceed, your fundraising goals. With Staar Entertainment, you’re not just getting an auctioneer—you’re gaining a trusted partner who will champion your mission every step of the way.
What you can Expect from our Auctioneers
Inspirational, Engaging, High-Energy Performances, Every Time!
At Staar Entertainment, our auctioneers are more than just bid callers—they’re storytellers, entertainers, and fundraising experts. With a natural ability to connect with audiences, we create a lively, fun, and mission-focused atmosphere that motivates giving and keeps the energy high all night long.
Each of our auctioneers is certified and licensed in the state of Florida, bringing professionalism and credibility to every event. While we’re based in North Tampa, we travel across the state, and nation, to help organizations of all sizes exceed their fundraising goals—from intimate school benefits to large-scale benefit galas.
We know not every guest in the room will raise their paddle—but our job is to inspire as many as possible to join the action. Using tailored techniques that encourage bidders to go higher and bid more often, our auctioneers ensure maximum participation and excitement throughout the event.
For over 20 years, we’ve proudly helped our clients raise more than $1 billion. Time and again, organizations that choose Staar Entertainment as their live auctioneer don’t just meet their goals—they surpass them. When you partner with us, you’re gaining a passionate ally committed to turning generosity into record-breaking results.
Mission-Focused Messaging
We work closely with your team to understand your organization’s goals, key messages, and donor base. During the event, our auctioneers weave your mission into the bidding process to keep the focus where it belongs—on your impact.
Fundraising Expertise
With extensive experience in nonprofit events, we provide more than just auctioneering. We offer strategic guidance on item selection, order of sale, pricing strategies, and timing—all designed to help you raise more.
Professionalism & Presence
Our auctioneers come prepared, polished, and ready to deliver. Whether addressing a cafeteria of 100 or a grand ballroom of 500+, we maintain a confident and professional stage presence that reflects the tone and style of your event.
Live Auctioneers = Entertainment Professionals
Our live auctioneers are not only responsible for reaching your charity goals, but to also entertain and inspire your donors to open their hearts and wallets. Staar’s auctioneers are also both professional DJs and MCs. We know how to read the crowd to know what music to play and when to play it.
As part of the run-of-show we put together, we can enhance your event with items like video production, a photobooth, live entertainers, slideshows, and even write a script for your committee and staff to be a part of the live event.

Our Eagle-Eyed Bid Spotters
Like looking through a telescope at the staars, our eagle eyed bid spotters will be sure not a single bid gets lost in the crowd. Bid spotters also act as support to our auctioneers by helping to keep the room hushed when needed and electric when called for. After all, the auction is the main attraction at your event.
Missed bids means less product raises, lost revenue, and unhappy donors. The spotters are primarily here to ensure no missed bids, however, when the live auction is not running, these helpers can assist with monitoring the silent auction, ushering, check-in’s and check-outs, among other things. Let us know if you could use some bid spotters at your next event.
