How To Choose The Perfect Corporate Event Entertainment

Updated: Jan 17, 2023

Choosing the right entertainment for your corporate party can be a tough call. Arranging work events with the same tried and tested Christmas classics can leave you searching for something new and different.






1. Consider the audience - what type of event is it and what do you want the entertainment to achieve

When planning an event, it is important to consider the audience and what type of entertainment would be most appropriate. For example, if you're hosting a corporate event, you'll want to choose entertainment that is appropriate for a business setting. This could include a comedian who tells clean jokes or a band that plays background music. Depending on the type of guests attending your event it could be the complete opposite, with a surprise celebrity debuting for a 45-minute set and lookalikes circling throughout the crowd. It is also important to think about what you want the entertainment to achieve. Are you looking for something that will get people dancing, or are you looking for background music that will create a more relaxed atmosphere? Once you have considered these factors, you can start to narrow down your options and choose the right entertainment for your event.


2. Do your research - look online and read reviews to find a reputable company

When planning an event, it's important to do your research to find a reputable company to provide your entertainment. The last thing you want is for your event to be a flop because the DJ didn't show up or the band was terrible. There are few things more important than finding the right entertainment for your event. After all, the right entertainment can make your event memorable and enjoyable for everyone involved. However, choosing the right entertainment can be a challenge. With so many options to choose from, it can be difficult to know where to start.


A good place to start is by asking friends and other professionals for recommendations. If you know someone who has thrown a great party or had a fantastic experience with a particular vendor, they'll be happy to pass along the information.


You can also look online for reviews of local entertainment companies. Sites like Google Business can be helpful in this respect. Be sure to read through the reviews carefully, as sometimes people will leave negative comments even if they had a good experience. If most of the reviews are positive, however, you can be pretty confident that you're dealing with a reputable business.


In short, taking the time to do your research upfront will save you a lot of headaches later on. So when you're planning your next event, be sure to find a reputable entertainment company that will make it a night to remember!

3. Meet with potential entertainers in person or via zoom - this will give you a good sense of their personality and whether they would be a good fit for your event


When planning an event, it is important to choose the right entertainers to ensure that your guests have a good time. One way to do this is to meet with potential entertainers in person. This will give you a chance to get a sense of their personality and whether they would be a good fit for your event. Additionally, you can ask them questions about their act and what they would be able to do for your event. Meeting with potential entertainers in person is an important step in event planning and can help you choose the right entertainers for your event.



4. Ask your potential entertainers for videos of previous performances so that you can get a feel for the atmosphere it’s likely to create


It’s always a good idea to ask your potential entertainers for videos of previous performances. The best way to get a feel for an entertainer's style is to watch them in action. This will give you a better sense of the atmosphere they’re likely to create and help you make sure that they’re a good fit for your event.


Of course, it’s also important to keep in mind that no two events are alike, so even if an entertainer has created a great atmosphere at other events, there’s no guarantee that they’ll be able to do the same for your event. Nonetheless, watching videos of previous performances is a great way to get a feel for what an entertainer is likely to bring to your event.


f you're not able to find videos, you can also ask for audio recordings or references from past clients. By doing your research ahead of time, you can be sure to hire an entertainer that will make your event one to remember!


5. Make sure you have a contract in place that outlines all the details, including payment terms

Though it may seem like an unnecessary step, having a contract in place before beginning work on a project is always a good idea. A contract provides a clear outline of the scope of work to be completed, as well as the expected timeline and payment terms. This can help to avoid any misunderstandings or disagreements down the road. In addition, a contract can provide added protection in the event that something goes wrong. If there are any issues with the project, or if it is not completed on time, you will have a written agreement to fall back on. So, before starting your next project, be sure to get everything in writing. It could save you a lot of headaches in the long run.


6. Book well in advance to ensure you get the best selection and pricing


Many people wait until the last minute to book their entertainers, but this is often a mistake. Not only is the selection more limited, but prices may also be higher. It's always best to book well in advance to get the best possible price and selection. This way, you can be sure to get the entertainers you really want and avoid any last-minute Stress.


7. Relax and enjoy the show!


After all your hard work finding the perfect entertainment, it's easy to get caught up in making sure everything is going to plan. Don’t forget to make sure you get to enjoy the show or mingle with your entertainers if they’re roaming. As well as making sure you make some time to enjoy the performance, getting some pictures of your entertainers will go a long way when you’re choosing your entertainers for your next event – maybe even leave your own review for them with pictures and videos attached!
