If you’re the one who’s in charge of your next corporate event, then you must want to wow your guests (and possibly wow your boss for a raise). Then keep reading because Buffy’s Beats has some of the best unique ideas for corporate event entertainment!

Aside from creating bomb private parties, we also take care of corporate events. That’s why we’ve created this list of fun company party ideas which you can organize by yourself or with us! 

Let’s get a quick look at some fun and enticing ideas to elevate your corporate event.

1. Hire a Professional DJ to Set the Tone

Of course, at the first spot we need to put DJ entertainment. A DJ is more than just someone who plays music—they can be the heartbeat of your event. 

A professional DJ can tailor the music to fit the vibe of your event, from background tunes during networking sessions to high-energy beats for the after-party. They can also serve as an emcee, coordinating the flow of the event, introducing key-note speakers, and ensuring everything runs smoothly. 

2. Karaoke

Karaoke is always a crowd-pleaser, offering your team the chance to showcase their vocal talents—or simply have a good laugh. 

Setting up a karaoke station at your corporate event can break the ice and encourage mingling. To take it up a notch, consider a karaoke competition with prizes for the best (or most entertaining) performances.  Remember, you don’t have to be a good singer to enjoy karaoke!

3. Book a Stand-Up Comedian

Laughter is a great way to break the ice and lighten the mood at any corporate event. Hiring a stand-up comedian who can deliver a clean, corporate-friendly routine will leave your guests in stitches. 

To make it even more personal, find a comedian who can incorporate company or industry specific humor into their set.

4. Interactive Culinary Experiences

Food is always a highlight of any event, but you can make it even more memorable with interactive culinary experiences. 

Options like live cooking demonstrations, build-your-own dessert bars, or cocktail-making classes can turn a meal into an engaging activity. Consider hiring a local chef or mixologist from a well known restaurant to lead the session!

5. Magician or Hypnotist

Magicians and hypnotists can bring an element of wonder and surprise to your corporate event. They can perform magic during the cocktail hour or they can have a full stage show. 

You can never go wrong with magicians. Who doesn’t like magic?

6. Photo Booths with a Twist

Traditional photo booths are always popular, but why not spice things up with a themed booth or one that offers instant social media sharing? Add props, custom backgrounds, or even a slow-motion video booth to provide your guests with fun and shareable memories.

7. Caricaturist or Cartoon Artist

Booking a caricaturist or cartoon artist adds a unique and personal touch to your event. Guests can take home a fun, personalized keepsake, and watching the artist at work can be an entertaining experience in itself. 

This is an excellent option for making your event stand out.

8. Team-Building Games and Competitions

Incorporating team-building activities into your event can foster collaboration and camaraderie among your employees. Consider organizing games like trivia contests, escape rooms, or scavenger hunts that can be tailored to your company’s culture and goals.

9. Live Music

If you want to know what are common activities at corporate events, then the answer would most definitely be live music. 

Live music can add a sophisticated or energetic vibe to your event, depending on the genre. Whether you hire a full band, a string quartet, or a solo acoustic artist, live performances can enhance the atmosphere and provide entertainment that appeals to all ages.  

10. VR and AR Experiences

Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) experiences are becoming increasingly popular at corporate events. VRs and ARs can provide immersive experiences, such as virtual tours, interactive games, or simulations that align with your company’s objectives.

11. Themed Dance Parties

Themed dance parties can turn a standard corporate event into a night to remember. Whether it’s a retro disco, a masquerade ball, or a glow-in-the-dark rave, the theme can inspire everything from the décor to the dress code. Hire professional dancers to kick things off and encourage participation!

12. Interactive Exhibitions and Demonstrations

If your event has an educational or product-focused angle, or your team consists of engineers, consider setting up interactive exhibitions or demonstrations. 

These can include product showcases, technology demos, or hands-on workshops where attendees can engage directly with the subject matter.

13. Silent Disco

A silent disco is a unique and engaging way to keep your guests entertained. Attendees wear wireless headphones and can choose between different music channels. 

This allows for multiple DJs or music styles to play simultaneously, catering to diverse tastes while avoiding noise restrictions.

14. Outdoor Activities and Adventures

If your event is being held in a location with outdoor space, take advantage of it with activities like obstacle courses, guided nature hikes, or even a mini sports tournament. These activities can provide a refreshing break from indoor sessions and promote team bonding.

15. DIY Station

Create a DIY station where guests can make or customize their own souvenirs so that they can remember this corporate event. Whether it’s a branded t-shirt, a personalized mug, or a DIY craft, this activity gives attendees a tangible memento of the event. 

Plus, it adds an interactive element that’s both fun and creative.

16. Escape Rooms

Bring the excitement of an escape room to your corporate event. These puzzle-based activities require teamwork and critical thinking, making them an excellent choice for team building. 

You can set up portable escape rooms at your venue or even use virtual escape rooms for a remote event.

17. Corporate Casino Night

Turn your event into a high-stakes casino night with blackjack, poker, roulette, and more. Guests can enjoy the thrill of gambling with play money, and you can even offer prizes for the biggest winners.

This is a great way to add excitement and encourage friendly competition.

18. Improv Workshop

An improv workshop can be both entertaining and educational. Hire professional improv artists to lead a session where participants learn the basics of improvisational comedy. This activity can improve communication skills, foster creativity, and provide plenty of laughs.

19. Interactive Science Shows

Bring in a science entertainer to conduct mind-blowing experiments and demonstrations. These interactive shows can be both educational and entertaining, making them perfect for tech companies or events with a focus on innovation.

20. Live Art Performance

Book a live painter or artist to create a custom piece during the event. It’s a visually stunning way to commemorate the gathering and showcase your company’s creative side.

21. Balloon-popping game

Add some excitement to your event with a balloon-popping game that’s sure to wow your guests. Here’s how it works: write prizes on slips of paper, place them inside balloons, and then fill the balloons with air. Guests can purchase a balloon, pop it, and see what they’ve won! 

Or you can ask your colleagues to invest in it, so that you can put big prizes inside and then just share the balloons between each other, and then pop the one you think has the prize.

To keep things interesting, you can include a few “Thank you for participating!” slips as well. Winners can redeem their prizes at a designated booth, making this a fun and interactive way to engage attendees and add a little surprise to the day.

22. Wine or Whiskey Tasting Stations

Set up tasting stations where guests can sample a variety of wines, whiskeys, or craft beers. To make it more interactive, hire a sommelier or a whiskey expert to guide guests through the tasting experience, offering insights into the origins and flavors of each selection.

23. Glow-in-the-Dark Activities

For a fun twist, incorporate glow-in-the-dark elements into your event. From glow-in-the-dark mini-golf to neon body paint stations, these activities create a visually stunning experience that’s both fun and memorable.

24. Flash Mob Surprise

Surprise your guests with a flash mob during the event. Whether it’s a choreographed dance routine, a musical performance, or a theatrical act, a flash mob can energize the crowd and create a buzz.

25. Drone Light Shows

Elevate your corporate event with a drone light show. These choreographed displays can create stunning visuals in the sky, tailored to your event’s theme or brand. Drone shows are a modern alternative to traditional fireworks, offering a unique and environmentally friendly spectacle.
