Corporate New Year’s Eve Entertainment Ideas
There are plenty of ways to make a corporate New Year’s Eve celebration memorable, from eye-catching performers and interactive acts to spectacular shows. Here are six ideas from Covent Garden Entertainment to inspire your corporate event.
1. Mirrorball Men Walkabout Act
For a corporate New Year’s Eve celebration, the Mirrorball Men are a great way to make an instant impression as guests arrive. Their eye-catching mirrored costumes are designed to catch the light and draw attention, while their versatility means they can be booked as living statues, surprising guests with sudden, playful movements, or as roaming performers who interact with the audience.
As walkabout entertainment, they can help create a lively atmosphere during drinks receptions or between other parts of the evening. Available in gold and silver, they are perfectly suited to a New Year’s Eve setting, bringing a glamorous, celebratory feel to the event while giving guests plenty to look at, talk about, and photograph.
2. Stiltwalking Champagne Pourers
Take your drinks reception to new heights with the Stiltwalking Champagne Pourers. Combining elegant stiltwalking with champagne service, this unique act gives corporate New Year’s Eve events an impressive visual element while providing guests with their drinks in a way they are unlikely to forget.
These stilt walkers for hire can interact with guests and pour champagne with flair, making them particularly well suited to drinks receptions and black-tie celebrations. Their costumes can also be customised to fit the theme of your event, while their ability to perform indoors or outdoors makes them a versatile choice for corporate celebrations.
3. Halo Glo Show
For a fantastic visual display, the Halo Glo Show offers a spectacular way to bring energy and visual impact to the evening. Up to five highly skilled circus performers combine LED hula hoops, glowing juggling clubs, and ‘Hyperlight’ poi with carefully choreographed routines, creating intricate patterns and effects in the air. The performance builds towards a striking human-kaleidoscope finale, giving corporate events a memorable centrepiece.
The show is a particularly effective form of LED entertainment for evening events and low-light venues, where the LED effects can really stand out. Its flexible format also works well across different event sizes, from more intimate corporate celebrations to large-scale productions, and the synchronised choreography gives it a polished, professional feel suited to corporate audiences.
4. Hyperloop Fire Show
For a dramatic addition to the evening, Hyperloop offers a spectacular option for fire performers for hire, bringing an element of fire and theatre to the event. This highly skilled two-person fire show combines fire poi, fire staff, fire eating, and carefully choreographed routines, creating a mesmerising display of flames, movement, and light.
The performance can build towards impressive finales, including a charcoal staff or pyrotechnics, making it particularly suited to outdoor corporate celebrations where a dramatic centrepiece is wanted. With synchronised routines and a variety of fire skills, Hyperloop can deliver a high-impact performance that is sure to capture guests’ attention.
5. Paul Forster Mindreader
For an interactive twist on the evening, Paul Forster offers something a little different, bringing interactive mind reading and close-up magic directly to your guests. His distinctive style combines seemingly impossible feats of deduction with magic, allowing him to reveal private thoughts and information that guests thought only they knew, making him a great option for magician hire.
Paul’s versatility also makes him well suited to different parts of a corporate event. He can bring mind reading and magic up close to guests during a drinks reception, while his stage shows can create a more focused experience for a larger audience. Having entertained celebrities including Andy Serkis, Woody Harrelson, Sally Hawkins, and Tom Hollander, Paul can add a sophisticated and highly engaging element to any New Year’s Eve celebration.
6. Flying Piano Show
If you’re looking for your event to make a real impact, the Flying Piano Show combines live musical entertainment with a spectacular visual installation. A live pianist performs from a grand piano suspended three metres above the ground, with balloons, lighting, and colour adding to the spectacle, while the sound system and installation are set up on site.
This high-end musical performance can work particularly well to bring the evening to a spectacular close, giving guests something unexpected to enjoy while creating an impressive visual feature in the venue. Having performed at more than 700 events across eight countries, the Flying Piano Show offers a distinctive combination of live piano, large-scale production, and visual entertainment.
