Corporate Entertainment in Oxfordshire

Corporate entertainment in Oxfordshire

The right entertainment turns a company event from a work obligation into a night people talk about. In Oxfordshire, corporate entertainment is booked for Christmas parties, awards dinners, summer parties, conferences and client receptions, with acts chosen to suit the room, the audience and the running order.

Across Oxfordshire, corporate entertainment is booked for events in and around Oxford, Banbury and Witney. Venues in the area include Blenheim Palace, Merriscourt and The Tythe Barn, each with its own function rooms and event spaces. You'll find more Oxfordshire venues below, including Caswell House, Old Luxters Barn and Ardington House, each with its own page.

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 Oxfordshire. You can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.

The essentials:

  • Budget from around £400 to £3,500, depending on the act and the date
  • Solo acts through to full bands for large functions
  • Acts who can pause for speeches and awards
  • Everything included is listed in your quote
  • Change your mind within 14 days and get a full 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.

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.
