Corporate Entertainment in Durham
Entertainment for company events in Durham
Company events have a different rhythm from private parties. Across Durham, 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.
Across Durham, corporate entertainment is booked for events in and around Durham, Darlington and Bishop Auckland. Venues in the area include Ramside Hall Hotel, Black Horse Beamish and Hardwick Hall Hotel, each with its own function rooms and event spaces. Further down this page are more local venues, such as Beamish Hall Hotel, Bradbury Glade and Dalton Old Pump House, with details of each.
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.

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.
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.
Every act's page has video and audio of the performers you would actually book, along with their song list and written reviews from previous clients. It's the easiest way to check the style and the sound before you commit.
