7 Creative and Unique Entertainment Ideas for your next Business Event

Looking to make your next business event the most memorable one yet?

Booking the right entertainment is vital to take your event from good to great — and put on a show that everyone will be talking about for years to come. You may have amazing speakers, an impressive event agenda, and a strong event brand, but there’s another element that you can’t ignore: making it entertaining and enjoyable!

The best entertainment ideas for your event will integrate seamlessly with your venue, theme, and goals. And with event-goer’s expectations rising every year, the right entertainment can help you impress attendees with an unexpected experience.

To help inspire you, we sat down with the best in the business, Fresh Creative Entertainment and they shared with us a few ideas that will help uplift your event and make them go from drab to fab.

Here were their suggestions:

“In our experience there are two main types of entertainment that work best for corporate events;

1. Roving Acts &

2. Feature Shows.

To break this down for you. Roving acts move in and around guests. Roving artists engage with guests and help in setting the tone for the event. Plus let’s not forget that initial WOW factor they achieve.

Feature shows are performances which have been created specifically for the event, where they integrate the clients dreams and vision into a performance. Fresh Creative Entertainments feature shows fuse dance, circus and theatre to create one off unique shows that are guaranteed to always receive a standing ovation.”

Ok, so know that we have that all explained. Let’s list some of the incredible entertainment ideas!

Entertainment idea #1: Magician

Thanks to performers like David Blaine, magicians and illusionists have gone from birthday party entertainers to professional performers. A magician will awe and inspire your guests with mind-bending tricks — either as a full stage show or strolling close-up magic.

Entertainment idea #2: Cirque show

Like magic, the circus arts have undergone an image overhaul, too, thanks to acts like Cirque du Soleil, which have elevated the art form to an immersive experience. Add some of that mystique to your own event by hiring contortionists, acrobats, and aerial performers.

Entertainment idea #3: Breakdancers

Want to amaze and energise attendees? The jaw-dropping moves of a bespoke break dance performance are just the thing. Break dancers are professionals at getting people out of their seats and engaged.

Entertainment idea #4: Fire performers

Whether it’s a fire-eater, dancer, or juggler, fire performers can add a bit of sizzle and drama to your event — not to mention being totally photo-worthy. Capitalise on all the social shares this act will occasion and make sure your event hashtag is clearly posted everywhere!

Entertainment idea #5: Mirror Men

If you aren’t familiar with Mirror Men stop what you are doing and watch the video below! This is a completely unexpected entertainment idea for your corporate event. Imagine mirror suited men taking over your event with smoke and lights! This would be a really special addition to a normally typically dance party, gala, or event before the main keynote speaker to rev up the crowd and a great photo moment!

Entertainment idea #6: Aerial acts

Are incredibly talented professional artists who flaunt the laws of physics. With beautiful costume design, and gravity defying choreography which is sure to illicit gasps of awe from your guests, aerial performers are a popular choice for important events such as product launches, parties that include important clients and/or guests of honour, and events where it’s all about the visual spectacle.

Entertainment idea #7: Themed Shows

Themed performances are fantastic and focusing the room and creating an event within an event. Fresh creative have designed shows based around well known themes, for example, Gatsby, Disco, 80’s, Rock ‘n’ Roll, The Greatest Showman, Top Gun  and Arabian to name a few. These themed shows involve, dance, music, singers – you name it, they do it. It’s that WOW factor that is always a crowd pleaser and leaves guests wanting more.
