Make A Party Great

Posted on by

When guests decide to get on the dance floor at a party, there’s a certain process involved of losing their inhibitions as they escape into the exciting world of music & lights. Memories and emotions can be ignited by the DJ’s choice of music and songs, often taking people back to their youth. What a great journey this can turn out to be if the DJ perfectly judges all the right tunes to play for your guests.

A good DJ should have a passion for all genres of music so that he can predict the response of people in the room when he plays certain classic songs from his collection. It is important for a DJ to read his crowd and he should instinctively know what kind of music will get people dancing. If you are providing a DJ with a playlist, it is advisable to allow the DJ some discretion to choose which tracks to play from your list and at what time to play them.

It is often surprising how late in the day, many people consider booking a DJ to provide their private party or entertainment despite how critical a great DJ is to the success of their event. This guide aims to help the first time booker understand what to look for when you hire a DJ, with tips and insights into how DJs work and what you need to do to get the best out of yours.

When guests share the dance floor it is similar to an audience laughing together at a comedian. Dancing helps people to unwind and relax and laughter relaxes muscles, boosts energy and triggers the release of feel-good chemicals. The feel good factor can also be promoted by the DJ if he plays positive uplifting music that is mainly found in songs written in the major keys.

It can be quite a challenge for a DJ to get guests dancing, especially early on at a corporate event where many of the guests might not know each other. Sometimes interaction over the microphone is required to help people feel more relaxed, and occasionally a little encouragement can be given to help create that essential party spirit.

There are a variety of different techniques which can be used and this is where DJ’s have varying styles and approaches. Some people like a DJ to be vocally interactive with their audience, whereas others prefer the more modern approach of minimal talking with the focus mainly on good music and taking requests.

History themed events

Posted on by

When it comes to themed parties, many people tend to pick something based on a television show, film or book series. They might even theme it around the current time of year or something that’s currently in the news. But why not have more historical parties? History themed events can be great fun.

It’s no good holding your historical themed party in a venue that doesn’t suit what you’re aiming for. Sure, you could probably hold your event in the local village hall but it doesn’t exactly scream Henry VIII and grandiose, does it? What we’re trying to say is that it doesn’t really scream ‘ye olde’ when it was built in the 1970s. No, what you need is to hire a venue for your event that actually has a bit of history to it! We’re thinking Historical Royal Palace Hampton Court Palace, Banqueting House or even the British Museum, which has a fine catalogue of ancient items nestled within its walls. So if you want to go historical, start with the setting!

We know that not all people like fancy dress, deeming it to be a lot of effort compared to just turning up in your work clothes. But not every event has a historical theme affixed to it! Costumes are a must if you want to take guests back in time properly and if you’re really wanting to make your party stand out, why not hire costumed characters to complete the look? Coming with astonishingly detailed costumes that make for fabulous photos, we provide actors who can play anyone from history be it a poor peasant worker through to royalty!Don’t forget to hire a costume for yourself as well!

Well it’d hardly be a historical affair without some form of comedy would it? The royals famously enjoyed being entertained at their banquets by many a fool and you can recreate this by hiring royal footmen or jesters to add to the flavour of your historically themed event. They don’t just meet and greet either; the jesters are able to perform on stilts, entertain with incredible acrobatics and can even hula hoop if you ask them to! t their antics!

It Isn’t really a party if you don’t have music now, is it? We acknowledge that the idea of long summer nights is now a couple of months behind us, but that’s no excuse not to have some form of olde entertainment front and centre for guests to enjoy. Be they providing background music or a short and intimate show, lutists are sure to impress. With full regalia as standard, you’ll almost certainly believe that you have gone back in time.

Event ideas for award ceremonies

Posted on by

Awards ceremonies can be stuffy affairs, especially for those who aren’t lucky enough to win on the evening. One sure fire way to make them enjoyable for everyone is to hire entertainment, sit back and watch as everyone has a great time downing the free drinks! But what sort of entertainment should you be booking for the event?

Circus Acts
Hiring circus entertainment for your awards bash is a hell of a way to get the party started on the night! The lights go down, there is a palpable sense of expectation! Hoops, LEDs, aerial silk artists swinging from the rafters…Circus entertainment is an amazing way to impress everybody which will not only ensure impressed coos from the audience but also a lot of sharing on social media!

Awards Host
You can’t exactly have an awards ceremony without a host can you? For the smaller companies and their awards evenings, this is often somebody from the company, perhaps the CEO making a couple of awkward jokes before making way for Barry from Accounts, a man whose humour doesn’t match his enthusiasm blundering through the evening. Once you’re more established though, you can book a presenter from the telly or an established comedian who will keep the laughs coming throughout the event.

Meet and Greet Acts
Arriving at an awards ceremony can be a daunting affair. If you’re particularly unlucky then you might well be going alone to the event and although happy to attend, it is a tad alarming to think you might be eating dinner with people you don’t know and could feasibly in for a quiet night; nobody likes starting conversation with strangers. If you book meet and greet acts for an awards ceremony though, this fear dissipates instantly. Guests will arrive and are instantly able to relax as they marvel at costumed characters or stilt walkers.

Finale/After Party
Who doesn’t like a good dance at the end of an event? The answer is of course ‘nobody’. If
there’s one thing sitting in chairs at dining tables for three or four hours makes you want to do, it’s getting to your feet and dancing the night away as soon as possible. The band who provided the award stings can play some songs whilst other entertainment is also just as well suited to such an evening! LED Canapé Girls are sure to impress whilst photo booths provide a unique opportunity for someone to show off their award with a humorous prop in tow.
