Corporate Party Ideas

Are you thinking about spicing up your corporate party with live music? Good idea! We'll reveal how to make it work! Discover our top 3 ideas that will make your corporate event with the right live music something very special!


Walking Act for the Welcome Reception

Your party has just begun and the first guests are arriving. Still somewhat hesitant and partly reserved, people are nibbling here and there on finger food and the first glasses are being raised.

You want to lighten the mood and really get the party going? A walking act that creates interaction and mingles with the guests comes in very handy. A great idea to design the reception of the corporate event differently and start the evening. The great thing about it is that band and audience are not separated by a stage – no, they move more at eye level. As a listener you're right there and can literally feel the plucking of guitar strings when the band moves through the room. Practical side effect: You don't have to set up a stage or similar – walking acts are suitable for any venue!

The trio Faem with three-part vocals and great songs in their repertoire or the trio Everdeen , who creatively reinterpret the music of Hans Albers: On SofaConcerts you'll find a variety of bands that give your corporate party that special something as a walking act. The music genre varies according to the band and the performance can be designed entirely according to your wishes. One thing is certain though: A walking act offers the perfect entertainment as the opening of your corporate party!

Flashmob After the Main Course

Main course has been served, hunger is satisfied and animated conversations are being held. The corporate party is in full swing. Time for an extraordinary program item! Here comes the idea that will be the highlight of the evening!

Imagine... Suddenly snapping sounds from one corner of the room, followed by singing, shortly after a second voice joins in from the other corner. Piano sounds fill the room, drums are added. Most will wonder what's happening here... Two string players run across the room, also joining in. For the crowning finale, a saxophone solo now sounds from the gallery, then all musicians form up on the small stage next to the buffet: A music flashmob as the highlight of the corporate event! The surprise will be written all over the guests' faces. "Right in the middle instead of just watching" is the motto here.

Attention: For the effect to show its full impact, only those responsible should be let in on the plan. For everyone else, the performance will be a surprise – they'll thank you later.

How inspiring a flashmob with music can be, you can see here:

Party Band for Dessert

After several speeches, awards and the 3-course menu, one half finds themselves completely satiated in a slightly comatose state and can hardly wait for the espresso order, while the others long for the dessert buffet and the first rounds of schnapps are being ordered.

Food coma or not, it's definitely too early to go home and leave the party! Live music that really gets you in a party mood is what's needed now! Partying until the early morning hours and not in the overcrowded, stuffy club, but at your corporate party with a band that you choose yourself in advance!

To ensure that no foot stays still, the 7-member band Tequila & the Sunrise Gang with their cool mix of ska, punk and rock takes care of that. More into pop? The Rehats will guarantee you one or more earworms and lots of good mood with their indie-pop! Or how about electro garnished with live saxophone and hip hop vocals? Then get the DJ duo Olauka to your party! The perfect show act for your corporate party!

No matter which of the ideas you choose – the bar for future events will certainly be set quite high afterwards!
