What to Consider When Choosing Fun Corporate Entertainment

· Customizable: What will your corporate event entail? Will it be a themed event? Will it commemorate a specific holiday or occasion? You must choose an entertainer that fits your event theme and can tailor their performance accordingly.

· Consider Your Audience: It’s best to choose entertainment that everyone will enjoy. For example, if you choose musical entertainment, it must suit most people’s tastes. Your entertainer should also be tasteful - remember, this is a corporate event. If families are invited, it should be tailored to family-friendly audiences.

· Accommodations: Certain entertainers require specific accommodations. For example, some require large stages, PAs, or turntables. Others are more self-sufficient. Ensure your venue can accommodate your entertainer’s needs.

· Budget: It’s likely your company set a budget for hiring entertainment. Make sure not to exceed the budget considering total expenses.

· Create a Memorable Experience: Your corporate event should be more than another event. Your entertainment can make it memorable. Consider hiring an entertainer who will set your event apart.

Do Your Homework Before Finalizing

· Do Some Research: Once you narrow down your search, do some research to determine the value you will get from the performance. Look at customer reviews to find out about past experiences. Online videos will tell you whether the entertainer fits with the event vibe.

· Find Out About Contractual Issues: Some entertainers may want you to sign a contract before finalizing their service. Consider their rider demands to determine if they are doable. Make sure their act fits your venue requirements. Find out about cancellation policies and what’s included in their performance.

· Consult Others: You may want to talk with colleagues before you finalize your contract. They can provide their input. They can tell you if they think you are moving in the right direction with your entertainment decision.

What are Fun Corporate Entertainment Options?

Bands

Bands are a solid entertainment option. They offer engaging entertainment. A good band leader will get everyone up on the dance floor and make them feel like part of the act.

However, there are several considerations involved when hiring a band. You will need an area large enough for the band to perform in. You may also have to provide a PA, lighting, and other stage gear.

Bands can also be subject to taste. Make sure everyone agrees to the music before finalizing your decision.

DeeJays

Deejays are a somewhat lower maintenance option as opposed to a band. They provide musical entertainment. They get people up and dancing. They can also take requests to get everyone involved.

A deejay will not require as much space and equipment as a full band, but they will need some accommodations. Ensure you have what you need to meet their requirements. The music choice should also be suited to everyone’s tastes.

Dancers

Dance performances are ideal event entertainment options. They are suited to most tastes. They put on a grand visual performance that provides an escape from the ordinary.

If you decide to hire dancers, make sure you have enough space to accommodate the troupe and their movements. They may also require music equipment and special lighting. Find out about their performance needs to ensure you are prepared.

Classes and Workshops

Classes and workshops are appropriate for certain types of events. Typically, the workshop should be relevant to the event or the industry.

For example, you may have a holiday cookie-baking workshop for a holiday event. You may host a photography workshop if you work in the art industry.

Visual Artists

Visual artists can add a unique element to corporate events. They can create caricatures of guests and other illustrations that communicate their impressions. They can provide souvenirs that people can take home to remember the fun they had.

A visual artist is a low-maintenance option, but they can only entertain a few guests at a time. They do not provide an all-engaging experience. If you hire an artist, you may need additional entertainment.

Comedians

Comedians will get the whole crowd laughing. Unlike many other entertainment options, they don’t require an elaborate setup. They can be suited to small or large venues.

If you choose a comedian, ensure they are familiar with your party theme and your company dynamics. This information can guide them to make relevant “inside jokes” that will have everyone roaring with laughter. You may even consider having your comedian lead a roast.

Escape Rooms

Escape rooms are a hot trend that doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. It promotes team building which is ideal for corporate environments. It can accommodate small and large groups.

If you choose an escape room as your entertainment, consider where you will go when the event is over. Some coworkers may want to go out for a drink or a meal to continue the celebration. You may also consider a mobile escape room that brings the fun to you.

Casino Themes

Casino themes are a popular party option. You can transform your workspace or venue into a casino where guests can game. You can set up different tables that people can visit throughout the event.

Most party casinos will give guests a certain amount of chips to play with. Chips are added up towards the end of the event and prizes are awarded for players with the most chips. However, some agencies will accept real cash.

Magicians

Magicians may be the ideal entertainment for any corporate event. They can adjust to fit the theme of your event. They can customize a show for adults and children and smaller and larger venues.

A magician will get everyone in your party involved. They will make people want to attend your event. They will create memories that will have employees talking around the water cooler for months to come.
