If you’re reading this blog, we’re assuming that you’re looking for ideas for entertainment for your engagement party. We’ve chosen our favourite acts who will bring your occasion to life, whether you’re hosting a laid-back barbecue in the garden, you’ve hired out a bar or are going up-market with a black tie dinner. Whatever your theme, you’ll find the perfect act for your engagement party at Entertainment Nation!
A Party Band
For engagement party entertainment to knock your guests’ socks off, hiring a party band is the way forward! Whether you want to dance the night away with a pop and rock band or an acoustic folk band, get your rock on with an indie and Britpop band or get everyone grooving with a funky soul and Motown band, you’ll find the perfect act for your engagement party right here.
A Roaming Band
Sunny vibes alert! The beauty of a roaming band is that they are able to play pretty much anywhere, including outside. They don’t need any electrical equipment so they are able to wander around amongst your guests as they perform. Interaction is usually encouraged so hiring a roaming band is a sure-fire way to make your engagement party totally unforgettable for all your guests.
A Saxophonist
If you love that chilled Ibiza vibe, hiring a saxophonist will be right up your street! Transport your guests to the sunset strip with the smooth sound of this immensely popular instrument. If you’re having an evening do, club classics are a must, and these superb musicians won’t disappoint. With LED lights adorning their instruments, they’ll create a club atmosphere on your dance floor that no-one will forget in a hurry!
A Jazz Ensemble
Suitable for fabulous garden parties and formal events alike, our sensational jazz bands come in all shapes and sizes. From roaring 20s-style vintage bands to classy jazz trios like the Darcy Gents above, you’ll find a huge selection of the best jazz and swing bands available for hire!
An Acoustic Soloist Or Duo
From solo singer-guitarists to duos with drum kits, pianos or even cellos, there’s no doubt that a soloist or duo will light up your engagement party! Don’t be fooled by their small size either. Even a single musician can fill a dance floor as they will usually use high-quality backing tracks to help them create a full-track sound. So whether you’ve decided on a cheese and wine evening or a rip-roaring party with hundreds of guests, your party will go down a storm when you hire one of these talented acts!
A DJ With Live Musician
Love the idea of live music for your engagement but also crave the versatility of a DJ? Well, with a DJ and live musician act you can have the best of both worlds! Perhaps you’d like a live drummer, saxophonist, brass act or even a full band with DJ backing. We love the flexibility these acts offer and if you’re going to be dancing the night away at your engagement party they might be just what you’re looking for!
A String Quartet
Perhaps you’d like a more refined feel to your engagement party, in which case you can’t beat a string quartet! Of course they can play beautiful classical numbers, but they are equally at home playing stunning renditions of more recent songs too. From rock and pop favourites, to dance and club classics, there’s nothing these fab foursomes can’t make sound magical! In fact, that goes for all classical musicians for hire!
