Corporate Entertainment in Northumberland

Entertainment for company events in Northumberland

Company events have a different rhythm from private parties. Across Northumberland, 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 Northumberland, corporate entertainment is booked for events in and around Alnwick, Morpeth and Berwick-upon-Tweed. Venues in the area include The Barn on the Bay, Slaley Hall Hotel and Doxford Barns, each with its own function rooms and event spaces. Other venues in the area include Langley Castle, Charlton Hall and Ellingham Hall, 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.

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

The essentials:

  • Prices usually from £400 up to £3,500
  • Reception, dinner and party entertainment from one agency
  • Christmas party season books up months ahead
  • The quote you receive sets out exactly what's included
  • 14-day change-of-mind refund on every booking

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.

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.
