What To Look For When Hiring A Live Party Band For Your Corporate Event

Have an upcoming event for your business and want to entertain your employees and clients? The event is a gift to them and the company, and the entertainment you select should represent that. Live party bands that are versatile, professional and have immense talent can provide you with everything you need to throw an amazing event. However, it isn’t always easy to find a live party band that can ensure an upbeat party while maintaining a professional atmosphere. 

Groove & Tonic wants to save you the time it takes to research and find the right band. We’ve comprised a guide on what to look for when hiring your live party band below:

Considers the Different Age Groups 

A business can be comprised of groups of people as young as 22 to groups in their mid 60s. These different age groups will most likely not enjoy the same genres of music, or decade of music. A live party that finds a way to cater to each varying age group to have them on their feet, dancing to the beat is crucial. A band should have information on how they combat that obstacle of differing age groups and music tastes. For example, Groove & Tonic delivers renditions of both old school and contemporary R&B, Disco, Pop and Rock songs during the events they cover. This can allow for the alternative introvert as well as the hip hop extrovert to have a great time together.

Performs Appropriate Renditions

Even if your corporate event is more informal than most, it’s important for the live band to be aware of the fine line between inappropriate and fun. Not all guests will tolerate explicit language or suggestive songs, and successful performers will be able to accommodate that. Groove & Tonic has a wide array of classic, age friendly & appropriate songs that your guests love; however, any songs your business may not want included in our performance won’t be sung! Everyone deserves to enjoy the hits without feeling any hint of discomfort, and we’ll guarantee that will be the case!

Blends Well With Other Activities

Booking a live party band does not necessarily mean your employees and guests are expected to dance all evening. The band’s purpose is to accommodate guests eating hors d’oeuvres, having cocktails at the bar, networking amongst each other and dancing as well! Groove & Tonic knows exactly how to fuse their performance with other activities at a corporate event for a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere.

Has Performed Similar Events 

No matter how much research is done on a band, the best point of reference is a video of their live performance! If you’re considering a large party band for your corporate event, they should have videos of past event performances readily available for you to watch on their website. Groove & Tonic has multiple videos of our engaging performances and our guests grooving to the tunes on our site!
