Let Me Entertain You: Why Attendees Thrive Off Unique Entertainment
There are three things people remember about a great event - the food, the drinks, and the random magician that joined their table at a black tie gala.
Live entertainment is always a good idea when it comes to elevating your event - but unique entertainment is a sure way to break the generic mould and turn your event up a notch (yep, we’re talking #FOMO territory).
Below are our five top recommendations for entertainment at your next event designed to keep your guests hooked on you for weeks!
RECOMMENDATION ONE: DANCERS
Jazz, hip hop, acrobatics - you name it, you’ll want it. Dancers ALWAYS bring it to any event space, whether it be Drag Queens lip-syncing up a storm, acrobats serving bubbles from a suspended ring, or a group of hip-hop dancers mimicking guests’ every move. Don’t forget to contact local dance schools if you’re ever on the hunt!
RECOMMENDATION TWO: FOOD & DRINKS
When you’re thinking of unique entertainment, don’t ignore your taste buds! Theatrical food and bevvies are a simple way to elevate guest experience. Think themed cocktail bars, canapés with a side of liquid nitrogen, and food stations with live chefs. If your budget is tight, something as simple as a glitter bomb for welcome drinks will do the job.
RECOMMENDATION THREE: SPECIAL GUESTS
Moving on from the glitz and glamour of dancers and cocktails, we arrive at recommendation #3 (insert more glitz and glamour) - special guests. If it aligns with your event purpose, engage a famous MC or host. If you’re planning a sit down dinner, think about having special guests host each table. Whether they be sport stars, soap stars, ministers, or models, it’s always memorable having a conversation with someone you thought you’d never meet!
RECOMMENDATION FOUR: LIVE ART
Let’s be real, we don’t think there’s anything like having an artist at your event capturing the atmosphere - in real time. Whether it be an oil painting of the bride and groom or a digital sketch of the dance floor, having a physical memoir of the event that isn’t a photo or video is simply magical. It not only brings guests together by being part of a universal art piece, it also supports local artists who need it most!
RECOMMENDATION FIVE: MISCELLANOUS
There are SO many incredible entertainers here in Perth - recommendation five had to be a mash-up. Special shoutout to the magicians, slam poets, light artists, and everyone else in between that sparks joy across our city. There are stellar small businesses and solo performers in the art sphere that have been doing it tough since March 2020, so show them some love and add them to your list for your next event.
