Corporate Entertainment in Middlesbrough

Book corporate event entertainment in Middlesbrough

Whether it is a Christmas party for the whole office, an awards evening for clients or a product launch, entertainment sets the tone. In Middlesbrough, 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 Middlesbrough and Stockton-on-Tees or further afield, the acts here cover the whole of Middlesbrough. Local venues include Hardwick Hall, Sedgefield, Rushpool Hall and Gisborough Hall, and it's worth checking with the venue where the entertainment will set up. Other venues in the area include Acklam Hall, Middlesbrough Town Hall and Wynyard Hall, and each has its own venue page further down.

The best corporate acts are used to working to a schedule. They can pause for speeches and awards, keep the volume right during dinner and then lift the energy for the party, and they know how to play to a room of colleagues rather than a group of friends.

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

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.

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.

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.

“Absolutely brilliant performance at our party! Mitch brought his DJ/percussion combo and honestly, it was a game-changer. What could’ve been just a regular office do turned into something really special. The live drumming during the DJ sets got everyone up on their feet and made the night one to remember. From start to finish, everything was super easy to organise and went off without a hitch. Our team’s still talking about it, and we’re already thinking of booking again next year!”

“The band were absolutely fantastic - very professional, extremely talented musicians, superb equipment and sound quality, and kept the dancefloor full all night. The second set, which had a number of requests from the crowd, was a particular highlight and the bands willingness to play requests was a real USP! We had a number of comments from guests about how great it was, and we fully agreed. Thanks for making it a great evening!”

“Wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Hireaband. They listened to what we were looking for and gave us a great selection of acts. Everything was transparent- including pricing - and we were delighted with the option we chose, Kasbah. We’ve never had a busier dance floor and that’s all down to the band. The boys had a great multi generational set list and were fantastic musicians. We’re already trying to find an excuse to book the band again. Absolutely first class.”

“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.”

“Fairmont were excellent. Very polished and professional and set the perfect tone to our colleague event. They played a great mix of tunes, traditional and contemporary which was great. Would highly recommend.”

“Absolutely Fantastic! We booked All Night Long for a corporate event held at Wyboston Lakes and everyone who attended thoroughly enjoyed it! A great mix of music, talented musicians and brilliant singers. Booking was effortless and very well organised. We couldn't have asked for more. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend for large scale events or smaller gatherings. Thank you again for providing us with such an enjoyable evening!”
