Corporate Entertainment in Bedfordshire

Book corporate event entertainment in Bedfordshire

The right entertainment turns a company event from a work obligation into a night people talk about. In Bedfordshire, corporate entertainment is booked for Christmas parties, awards dinners, summer parties, conferences and client receptions, with acts chosen to suit the room, the audience and the running order.

Bedfordshire has a wide choice of event venues, from Bunkers Barn and Woburn Abbey to The Barns Hotel. Our acts travel to towns across the area, including Bedford, Luton and Dunstable, so the location of your event won't limit your choice. You'll find more Bedfordshire venues below, including Corner 5 Restaurant, Moore Place Hotel and Moreteyne Manor, each with its own page.

The best corporate acts are used to working to a schedule. They can pause for speeches and awards, keep the volume right during dinner and then lift the energy for the party, and they know how to play to a room of colleagues rather than a group of friends.

We've been booking entertainment for businesses since 1999, and every act on this page covers Bedfordshire. You can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.

The essentials:

  • Budget from around £400 to £3,500, depending on the act and the date
  • Solo acts through to full bands for large functions
  • Acts who can pause for speeches and awards
  • Everything included is listed in your quote
  • Change your mind within 14 days and get a full refund

Start with the timings. Most corporate events have a reception, a meal, speeches or awards and then a party, and the entertainment needs to fit around each part. Tell us the schedule and the venue and we can suggest an act, or a combination, that covers the whole evening.

Prices usually start from around £400 and go up to £3,500 or so. A solo musician or magician for a drinks reception sits at the lower end, while a full band covering a gala dinner and party sits towards the upper end. Your quote shows the full price for your date, so you can compare on the same basis.

Each act's page carries real video and audio, a song list and reviews from previous clients. A couple of clips will tell you far more than any description, so it's worth listening before you choose.

Enter your date and venue in the instant quote button for live pricing and availability. After you book, we look after the contract, deposit and details, and keep in touch right up to the event. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund and an emergency contact number to use on the night.

“What a fantastic band! We booked Swing Time for a Charity Gala Ball, and what a wonderful addition to the event they were. All our guests made for the dance floor and were thoroughly entertained and I can't recommend them highly enough. Delightful people and they certainly add value to your event!”

“Carlyle were absolutely fantastic, I've had such great feedback from colleagues on the band's performance at our 10 Year Anniversary party and people asking where we found them. Although a lot of our group were slow to get on the dancefloor, the songs and atmosphere created by the band soon got them going and everyone was up later in the evening. Loved the setlist, not a bad song all night!”

I know it was a long haul with 3 full day?s performances to deliver, plus the evening show at the jam house for the sponsors, but as always you and the boys delivered.and EdinburghJust a note to thank you and the band for another excellent show at Ruby's Summer Ball, we raised over”

“This is the 4th time we've had Jumpstarter for our staff party and they were amazing as usual. They are very organised, very flexible and most of all, fantastic musicians who know how to fill a dance floor. I would recommend them to anyone and will definitely be booking them for our next event.”
