It's generally a plural meaning they're trying to imply they sell more than just one service. Disco, karaoke, face painting, bouncy castle, venue decoration, photo booth, cuddly toy ...

"Entertainment" (singular or plural) seems to apply to a singular skill/attraction or multiple skills/attractions. The "s" is superfluous I believe as is the apostrophe as the word is not possessive.

I think that "entertainment" implies an all embracing singular or plural meaning. No "s" needed.
My Boys' Own dictionary says: "Entertainment: n. Entertainment or amusement. An act or show intended to amuse or interest."

Correct in every respect, I believe.
Sorry to confuse you earlier, but for years we've a running debate/altercation/fight/war as to the minimum requirements for being a successful Entertainer. ( Note the capital E).
