Entertainment ideas for gala dinners and company parties
A gala dinner has its own rhythm. Here are our ideas for each moment of the night, with shows that already work at real events.
The welcome: surprise without interrupting
As guests arrive, formats that mingle with the crowd work best: Living Statues, Estatua Angelicus or cocktails served from above with Champagne Fairy or Champagne Fairies.
During dinner: short, close-up sets
Between courses, short acts that don't require anyone to stand up: Glass Music Show, iPad Magic Show or live art such as Coffee Artist, who portrays your guests.
The message moment
Before the speeches or awards, a narrative show warms up the room: Sand Drawing or Shadow Show can tell the story of the company or the year.
The big moment
For the climax of the night, high-impact formats: Electra Laser, Royal Mirror Show, Moaré Performance or, if the event is outdoors, the Aerial Drone Show.
Closing and party
To open the dance floor, live music: The Beatles Tribute, The Black Band — AC/DC Tribute or LED Drums Percussion moving from the stage to the floor.
