Circus style:
Here we are for employee appreciation during lunches at Kaiser last week. I'm the stilt walker in the first photo. : ) Our clown is here on stilts - he is super fun for walkabout and shows - he pairs well with our accomplished juggler.

Aerialists Silks or Tissue (very beautiful hanging even without the aerialists); lyra or other shapes of apparatus such as moon or cube. Possibly ropes. Rates: Approx. $2500 / aerialist 2 hours of ambient / mini performances. Usually we would break this into sets: 10 mins. on, 20 off for up to 4 goes in 2 hours. 1.5 hours is possible per aerialist too. I offer at least 3 who are also accomplished contortionists. We have 2 or 3 with portable rigging also - wonderful for ambient. Lollipop Lyra, cube, triangle are some options The aerialists would need to approve the rigger. *There might be a day rate for the multi talented aerialist/contortionist/fan dancer shown here. I can check that for you. Freestanding Apparatus Lollipop Lyra, Triangle These two options do not require installation. Set up and take in approx. 20 mins. Multiple lollipop lyras are possible. We offer 1 triangle (custom pieces) $1500 / aerialist for an act, or ambient entertainment on a portable apparatus. $2000 for an act plus 1.5 hours ambient. An act is a choreographed piece that your guests would stop and watch. Ambient is 10 mins on, 20 off up to 1.5 hours or 3 goes to music that you provide. I also offer a hand balancer / contortionist who is lovely for ambient or an act. No prop needed. See her here offering hand balance at this luxury car event and the lollipop lyra is in action here too. Both are shown in the beginning clips of this video: https://youtu.be/3W1v99lS1Og (Other entertainment in this video includes: walkabout LED dancers, orb on a pool & a fire show) Fire breathers - yes! Fire artists - yes! 
Triangle: Dancer with a custom/unique triangle: https://vimeo.com/693765036/5f2b2b505f This artist is an accomplished dancer and is available with a dance partner to offer an adagio dance act: Duet: See adagio dance video to the right. She has a lovely dance partner and they create acts demonstrating: beauty, strength and grace. Costumes * We can also go big with a theme too - and costume these walkabout entertainers to amp up the theme or the color or mood board that you choose. Some examples are Galaxy, Carnival (black/white/red), lots of gold, Gatsby, Moulin Rouge, LED, Big Top, etc. The stilt walkers can be animals: giraffe or zebra; or galaxy LED unicorns, all things are possible. We are down to offer a more Cirque look too!! I love that not only do we have ample space in the venue to go big - but also time to work on the costume design.

With 2 stilt walkers, LED wings, on the 14 ft. setting. Of note here... this is at Smoke an amazing venue in SF. The ceilings are really tall and atrium like - however there was no lighting placed on the aerialist - that can make a dramatic difference. Compare to the photo below which has lighting.

The photo directly above is not our group - but we would enjoy creating something like this if you're into it : )
I think that your large scale venue warrants some larger-than-life ideas - the giant ribbons are great or this LED type of outfit could really shine. Wings are great - we have used them often and so we would be open to create new things. We have a giraffe and a zebra 4-legged stilt creatures in the works now. We offer Devine (grape vine) characters We offer deluxe giant flowers in neon colors. |

LED buugeng
Buugeng
A cross between juggling and martial arts, the LED buugeng is a specialty act that we offer. It can also be an interesting walkabout entertainment. He manipulates other props also and can alternate between them. This buugeng act was at the wedding reception to open for the aerialist cube over the pool act: |
Ground Entertainers
Almost all of our ground entertainers are also stilt walkers.
They can multi-task: greet guests, then some can come down and be walkabout ground entertainment.
LED prop manipulation is possible on and off stilts - depends on the costume.
Characters, such as ringmaster are possible too.
Rate for Walkabout ground characters: Choose any for $850 each for up to 2 hours. Choose 3 or more
stilt walkers and ground walkabout LED characters including prop manipulators, or the new LED full suits shown below - save $75 off each.
Our day rate is typically $1200 / entertainer for walkabout or ambient entertainment
A 5 hour event with 2 stage goes per entertainer we can offer for $1800/entertainer. This would include all: walkabout and 2 acts with walkabout being half hour sets with 10 min. off between sets +20 min lunch break, and numerous prop switches to keep it interesting. Many of us juggle, spin staff, hoops, buugeng, fans, ribbon dancing, fire, etc.

I recommend:

Buugeng
Each of these artists could be on stilts for a portion - except the juggler. He has a high unicycle.

Cyr Wheel or Chairs Hand Balance Act
Cyr Wheel + Dragon Staff or Rope Dart (flow arts) or whips.
Always a stunning piece - the cyr wheel artist can also offer LED dragon staff, LED juggling clubs, or other flow props. He can also do whips and simple club juggling. Great for walkabout & cyr act or flow prop act.
He can be paired with the buugeng artist too - potentially we could offer the buugeng artist and dragon staff act together.
They could be flanked by the stilt walkers even.
Here is that look at a school assembly:
