Corporate Entertainment in Essex
Entertainment for company events in Essex
Company events have a different rhythm from private parties. Across Essex, 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.
Essex has a wide choice of event venues, from Blake Hall and Great Lodge to Crondon Park. Our acts travel to towns across the area, including Chelmsford, Colchester and Southend-on-Sea, so the location of your event won't limit your choice. You'll find more Essex venues below, including Anne of Cleves Barn, Maidens Barn and Vaulty Manor, each with its own page.
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 Essex, and the instant quote button shows pricing and availability in a few seconds.

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.
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.
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.
