Top 3 enter­tain­ment ideas for cor­po­rate events

Exquis­ite cui­sine, atten­tive wait staff and open bar…what more could you ask for when it comes to the per­fect cor­po­rate event? What­ev­er the aim of your event – a sales kick-off, staff par­ty or prod­uct launch, don’t for­get about the enter­tain­ment. But for­get about the run of the mill enter­tain­ers of days gone by! Hav­ing the right enter­tain­ers can ensure you take your event from same-old, to next level. 

While com­ing up with the per­fect enter­tain­ment ideas for cor­po­rate events can be tricky (and time con­sum­ing!), we’ve put togeth­er a list of 3 types of acts to help you kick it up a notch. 

#1 Awe­some acrobatics

Cor­po­rate enter­tain­ment doesn’t have to be staid. Think back to the awe and won­der of child­hood, and the wow fac­tor of the cir­cus. Remem­ber that feel­ing? The exhil­a­ra­tion in the pit of your stom­ach? Now, fast for­ward to 2025 and you can repli­cate that won­der­ment with your own cir­cus act. Yes, we’re talk­ing about acrobats! 

From visu­al­ly spec­tac­u­lar danc­ing on a spin­ning mir­ror ball (ON a mir­ror ball), to an entire expert troupe of acro­bats that can cus­tomise a rou­tine for your event, the pos­si­bil­i­ties are lim­it­less. And noth­ing says engage­ment and audi­ence awe more than the sheer mas­tery of bal­anc­ing, tum­bling and flexibility.

#2 Dancers with a difference

When brain­storm­ing cor­po­rate event enter­tain­ment ideas, dance always enters the mix. And it’s no won­der because pro­fes­sion­al dancers have always drawn the eye (just think about the pop­u­lar­i­ty of TV shows like Strict­ly!) So, con­sid­er book­ing enter­tain­ment with a tra­di­tion­al asso­ci­a­tion – like bal­let – but that turns expec­ta­tions on their head. There is noth­ing more daz­zling than giv­ing an audi­ence some­thing they didn’t even know was pos­si­ble. We rec­om­mend an act such as LED bal­leri­nas, that com­bines the beau­ty of bal­let, the ath­leti­cism of acro­bat­ics and hyp­not­ic visu­al effects – guar­an­teed to wow your next cor­po­rate event.

#3 Band on the move

Live music is always well received and adds a vibrant ener­gy to any cor­po­rate event. But when you’re look­ing for inno­v­a­tive enter­tain­ment ideas for cor­po­rate events, think move­ment and flu­id­i­ty; instead of hav­ing a sta­t­ic band, why not try a roam­ing troupe of musicians? 

Min­gling with guests and mov­ing through­out the venue, a roam­ing band cre­ates a more engag­ing atmos­phere and has the pow­er to get absolute­ly every­one tap­ping a foot or shak­ing their hips. The great thing about a roam­ing band is that you can choose a musi­cal genre that fits the theme of your cor­po­rate event – be it a Mar­di Gras inspired brass band, trio of fid­dlers with a dis­tinct folk vibe, or an ener­getic mod­ern take on nos­tal­gic hits. 

A help­ing hand for cor­po­rate entertainment

Some­times choos­ing the right cor­po­rate enter­tain­ment requires more than sim­ply select­ing an act. It’s about mak­ing sure the act fits with your theme and objec­tives, and more impor­tant­ly with your venue. Work with the team at Gecko – we’re pro­fes­sion­al musi­cians our­selves so we under­stand the logis­tics involved in going from choos­ing your cor­po­rate enter­tain­ment to mak­ing it happen.
