Planning a corporate event can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to entertainment. If you are planning a formal dinner, team celebration, client networking evening, or a company fun day – choosing the right entertainment is key to creating the right atmosphere and making a lasting impression.
Covent Garden Entertainment is proud to have worked with a wide range of corporate clients across the UK, providing exceptional corporate event entertainment that suits every style, audience, and budget. To help make your planning process easier, our experts have put together answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about corporate entertainment.
What type of entertainment is suitable for corporate events?
This depends on the type of event, the venue, and your audience. For formal receptions, consider background musicians such as string quartets or jazz trios.
For more upbeat parties, roaming magicians, interactive performers, or live bands can add an engaging energy. We also offer walkabout acts, comedians, circus performers, and even bespoke experiences tailored to your brand.
How far in advance should you book entertainment?
We recommend booking as early as possible, ideally 2–3 months in advance.
High-demand dates, such as the Christmas party season or summer weekends, fill up quickly. However, we are also experienced in sourcing last-minute acts when needed.
Can the entertainment be tailored to match a brand or event theme?
Absolutely. Many of our performers can customise costumes, sets, and performances to align with your company’s branding or the theme of your event. We can work with clients to create everything from vintage Gatsby-style evenings to futuristic tech showcases.
What are the technical requirements for performers?
Each act has its individual technical requirements, which we’ll communicate clearly during the booking process. Many acts are self-contained and can be performed with minimal setup. For more elaborate performances, such as stage shows or aerial acts, we will work with your venue to ensure everything is in place, from sound systems to rigging.
Are your performers insured?
Yes. All our professional performers are fully insured with public liability cover and carry full risk assessments. They can also be DBS checked where necessary.
Can you help if we don’t know what kind of entertainment we want?
Of course. We’re here to guide you from the initial brief to the final applause. Let us know your objectives, audience, venue, and budget, and we’ll recommend a shortlist of suitable acts to choose from.
Can we book multiple acts for the same event?
Yes! Many clients choose to create a varied entertainment schedule throughout their event. For example, you might start with a walkabout performer during drinks, followed by a stage show after dinner, and a live DJ or band to close the evening. We’ll work with you to coordinate timing and logistics so everything runs smoothly.
What’s the booking process like?
The booking process is simple and straightforward. Once we’ve discussed your event details, we’ll send you a tailored proposal with act options, costs, and performance requirements. When you’re ready to proceed, we’ll confirm the booking, handle the logistics, and stay in touch right up to the event to ensure everything goes to plan.
