​Live music ideas for corporate events
Whether it's a summer corporate event, an awards ceremony, or Christmas party, finding the right live entertainment for your event can be the key to making the right impression. With such a selection of options available, choosing the right live party band or group that entertains your guests may be a bit tricky.
 
Here are a few ideas to get you thinking:
 
Jazz Bands
If you are looking for a bit of class and sense of occasion, you might like the idea of Champagne and canapés on arrival and an upbeat jazz band playing to your guests. At the smaller end of the scale, you could look for a jazz trio or push the boat out with a fabulous swing band. Jazz bands can also cover a wide genre of music, so your guests can enjoy an array of music.
 
Roaming acoustic bands
It has become popular to hire live roaming acoustic bands. This consists of three of four musicians who move seamlessly around the venue playing their instruments without any amplification. They can either weave in and out amongst your guests, or if it is a sit-down event, they can move from table to table making their way round the entire room.  If you want a party atmosphere later, they can play close to the dance floor at the end of the night to get your guests up on their feet.

Ibiza saxophone music
If the laid-back summer Ibiza vibe is what you are looking for, then a solo saxophonist playing the best of Cafe del Mar classics is certain to get people in a relaxed frame of mind. This gentle sound is perfect for corporate drinks receptions or evening functions. A solo sax player is the perfect way to get the ball rolling at your summer corporate party.
 
Live bands for dancing
Live party bands continue to be a favourite on the corporate function scene, adding heaps of energy and creating a real sense of occasion. The options for function bands are endless, whether you're looking for an almighty 12-piece band, a country style band that will get your guests trying some line dancing, or hiring a band that will play music from a particular decade – the choice is yours.
 
Mexican themed party with a Mariachi band
Aye, aye, aye! If you are looking for some Latin fun – hire a Mariachi band. Give your guest sombreros to wear, beer or Tequila to drink and some Mexican canapes to eat. With their traditional Mexican music, you’ll certainly create a party to remember!
 
Tribute Bands
Tribute bands can be so much fun. Whether it is a music legend that you want to replicate, an era that you want to relive – there is a wide variety of tribute bands that can be hired. What do you think your guests would love?
