Party bands for corporate events for hire

Our musicians provide a fee expectation on their profile which you can use as a guideline. The fee is negotiated individually for each concert and depends on the expectations of each artist, the desired playing time, line-up, travel costs, equipment (if necessary) and the overall effort. As a guideline, you should budget a fee of at least 350€ per band member and plan some buffer for additional requests, travel and technical equipment so that both you and the musician are happy.

Together with friends and family you can think about what music suits your party the best and determine how long and what kind of music you would like for the concert. Most bands play between 60 and 90 minutes and can accommodate some song requests, but be sure to budget for preparation time and for special requests.

It all depends on the setting and the group that you are planning the corporate party for. For a relaxed after-work event in a small circle acoustic music from a singer-songwriter works great. For the summer party with the team a duo or an acoustic band which will stir up the evening with their music is suitable. Those planning a large corporate party can schedule a live band with a full lineup for a concert as the main program item and performing as the highlight of the evening to create a fun party atmosphere!

At a successful corporate party neither live music nor a playlist for the background should be missing: Unlike canned music, live music is a real highlight and program item of the party. A live musician, or band can directly respond to the audience and create a unique atmosphere at your office party or corporate event. Nevertheless, you should prepare a nice background playlist for the breaks and the time when no live music is planned. Listen to our best-of playlist for your corporate party. Or find relaxing background music for your corporate dinner in our dinner playlist.

Depending on the size and atmosphere, different live music for your office party is suitable. For a small team event, a solo musician or duo is the right choice. If you are planning a larger event such as a corporate anniversary or open house, you should book a party band or DJ. Basically: The bigger the band and the more instruments there are, the more versatile the arrangements and the more varied and entertaining the music. If the music program is to last longer than 90 minutes, you should definitely book a whole band.

Hardly anything connects as much as music does. No matter the setting the corporate celebration is planned for, live music is a real highlight at both small and large events. A few

popular Christmas party program entertainment ideas

are as follows:

• An after-work concert is a great surprise for employees and a great way to say thank you.
• At the Christmas party, the live band can perform as a program item after the Christmas dinner or it can frame the welcome and speeches with a short contribution of 3-4 songs. Live music can create a relaxed atmosphere in the background or bring all colleagues to the dance floor again for the party after the speeches and toasts.
• If you are planning a large corporate event, you can hire corporate event musicians as a walking act who move freely around the room.
• The absolute highlight for music-loving employees is their own festival-style summer party with various acts in different rooms. There are a lot of corporate event musicians for hire!

The earlier you request a band or musician for your corporate event, the more likely it is that your desired band will still be available on the desired date. It makes sense to request different bands 2-3 months in advance – especially for popular dates like the weekends leading up to Christmas. But even on short notice you should be able to find a great musician on our platform – but you should definitely request as many musicians as possible and you’ll need to be a little bit more flexible. It is always worth asking: we have booked live music for office parties in the same week!

Original party themes are a great way to make the celebration stand out from the previous year and always add a new touch. This way you can come up with great decorations and program items for the party and employees can dress appropriately. You can then choose the music to match the theme of the corporate party - overall it is a great entertainment idea. For a ‘golden 20s’ party you can hire a swing or jazz band for your corporate event. Those planning a corporate summer party can create a mini-festival with different stages. This way, there will be something for everyone. There are no limits to your creativity! At SofaConcerts, you will find a variety of music acts that fit the individual motto of your corporate party. .

For a corporate party in a small circle, an acoustic concert is no problem. For up to 30 people and an acoustic lineup, you don't have to worry about technical equipment. For events with more guests the appropriate technical equipment is usually available at the venue or the artists bring their own equipment after consultation – just ask them directly and plan a little bit extra into your budget.
