Corporate Entertainment in Somerset

Entertainment for company events in Somerset

The right entertainment turns a company event from a work obligation into a night people talk about. In Somerset, 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 Somerset, corporate entertainment is booked for events in and around Taunton, Bath and Wells. Venues in the area include Priston Mill, Orchardleigh House and Homewood Park, each with its own function rooms and event spaces. Further down this page are more local venues, such as Brympton House, The Roman Baths and Wick Farm, with details of each.

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.

Hireaband has been booking live entertainment for company events since 1999. Every act listed here travels to Somerset 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.

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.

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.

“Carlyle were absolutely fantastic, I've had such great feedback from colleagues on the band's performance at our 10 Year Anniversary party and people asking where we found them. Although a lot of our group were slow to get on the dancefloor, the songs and atmosphere created by the band soon got them going and everyone was up later in the evening. Loved the setlist, not a bad song all night!”
