Corporate Entertainment in Bristol

Book corporate event entertainment in Bristol

The right entertainment turns a company event from a work obligation into a night people talk about. In Bristol, 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.

Across Bristol, corporate entertainment is booked for events in and around Bristol, Clifton and Portishead. Venues in the area include Clevedon Hall, Leigh Court and Aldwick Court Farm, each with its own function rooms and event spaces. Further down this page are more local venues, such as Nailsea Tithe Barn, Goldney Hall and Barley Wood House, with details of each.

Most corporate events need more than one kind of entertainment across the evening. A pianist or duo for the drinks reception, something light during dinner and a band or DJ once the awards are over is a common running order, and many acts can cover more than one part of the night.

Since 1999, Hireaband has matched businesses with the right entertainment for their events. The acts listed here all travel to Bristol, and the instant quote button shows pricing and availability in a few seconds.

The essentials:

  • Prices usually from £400 up to £3,500
  • Reception, dinner and party entertainment from one agency
  • Christmas party season books up months ahead
  • The quote you receive sets out exactly what's included
  • 14-day change-of-mind refund on every booking

A networking reception or client drinks suits a pianist, duo or string ensemble at a volume where people can talk. A gala dinner or awards night often adds a band or DJ for the party afterwards. A Christmas party is usually about the dance floor, so a function band, tribute act or DJ with a live sax works well.

Most bookings fall between £400 and £3,500. 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. The date and time of year make up the rest of the difference.

Rather than a generic demo, every act's page shows the performers you would be booking, with videos, audio, a song list and reviews, so you can judge the act well before the day.

Use the instant quote button on this page to see prices and availability for your date. Once you've chosen an act, we handle the contract, the deposit and the arrangements, and stay in touch through to the event. Every booking includes a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and an emergency contact line is available on the night.
