Corporate Entertainment in Cambridgeshire

Entertainment for company events in Cambridgeshire

Company events have a different rhythm from private parties. Across Cambridgeshire, businesses book entertainment for drinks receptions, gala dinners, awards ceremonies and after-dinner parties, where the act has to fit a schedule, read a mixed audience and keep things professional from start to finish.

Popular venues for company events in Cambridgeshire include Swynford Manor, Trinity Hall and The Guildhall, and our acts travel to events across Cambridge, Peterborough and Ely. Tell us the venue when you enquire and we'll help you choose entertainment that suits the space. You'll find more Cambridgeshire venues below, including Childerley Barn, Chippenham Park and Longstowe Hall, each with its own page.

Corporate entertainment covers a wide range of acts: function and party bands, DJs, saxophonists and DJ-and-sax sets, tribute acts, duos, pianists and string ensembles for receptions, and close-up magicians to break the ice between guests.

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

The essentials:

  • Typical cost: £400 to £3,500, depending on the act, how long they perform and the date
  • Your quote shows exactly what's included
  • Acts experienced with speeches, awards and tight running orders
  • December dates book up early, so it pays to enquire in good time
  • Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind 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.

Expect to pay from around £400 up to £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. Busy Saturdays and the December season sit at the top of the range, and your quote shows exactly what's included.

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.

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.
