Corporate Entertainment in North Yorkshire

Corporate entertainment in North Yorkshire

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

Popular venues for company events in North Yorkshire include Sandburn Hall, Howsham Hall and Crayke Manor, and our acts travel to events across Harrogate, Scarborough and Skipton. Tell us the venue when you enquire and we'll help you choose entertainment that suits the space. Other venues in the area include Danby Castle, Middleton Lodge and Hornington Manor, and each has its own venue page further down.

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 North Yorkshire. 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.

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.

“We hired Simply Groove for our xmas party and they went down a storm. Really lovely bunch of lads, good communication prior to the gig and also on the day. Staff had an amazing evening - thank you for making our night!!!”

“Excellent communication from Del and the team. Declan was brilliant. Very professional musician with a lovely voice. Played a great variation of songs to suit all age groups of the party. Excellent value for money. Stairway to Heaven was incredible! Will book again in the future and highly recommend Declan and the company to everyone.”

“There are only two words to describe James - World Class. He nailed the brief and really annoyed the hotel staff because people were dancing instead of eating. Brilliant stuff. Thanks James.”

“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!”

(5)

“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.”
