Corporate Entertainment in Shropshire

Corporate entertainment in Shropshire

Whether it is a Christmas party for the whole office, an awards evening for clients or a product launch, entertainment sets the tone. In Shropshire, 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 Shrewsbury, Telford and Oswestry or further afield, the acts here cover the whole of Shropshire. Local venues include Wistanstow Village Hall, Park House Hotel - Shifnal and The Mill Barns, and it's worth checking with the venue where the entertainment will set up. Further down this page are more local venues, such as Walcot Hall, Wilde Lodge and Davenport House, with details of each.

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.

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

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.

Each act's page carries real video and audio, a song list and reviews from previous clients. A couple of clips will tell you far more than any description, so it's worth listening before you choose.

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.”
