Corporate Entertainment in Hertfordshire

Book corporate event entertainment in Hertfordshire

Whether it is a Christmas party for the whole office, an awards evening for clients or a product launch, entertainment sets the tone. In Hertfordshire, corporate bookings range from background music for a networking reception to a full band for the dance floor at the end of the night.

Whether your event is near St Albans, Watford and Hertford or further afield, the acts here cover the whole of Hertfordshire. Local venues include Tewinbury, Pendley Manor Hotel and Dyrham Park Country Club, and it's worth checking with the venue where the entertainment will set up. You'll find more Hertfordshire venues below, including North Hill Farm, Chenies Manor House and Fanhams Hall Hotel, 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.

Hireaband has been booking live entertainment for company events since 1999. Every act listed here travels to Hertfordshire as standard, and the instant quote button on this page shows pricing and availability for your date.

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

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.

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.

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.

The instant quote button gives you a price and availability for your date straight away. From there, we manage the contract and deposit and keep you updated until the event. Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and there's an emergency contact line on the night.

“The House of Lairds were amazing and helped us having a roaring time while we celebrated our anniversary. They coached us through the traditional dances and played so many of the great songs we flagged ahead of time. They had a good flow in the set and were just all around great people. Hireaband made it super easy to book and manage.”
