Vintage Themed Corporate Entertainment Ideas Corporate Event Entertainment Ideas!

Vintage themed corporate events are a big hit this year. We've seen all sorts of great vintage style corporate entertainment hit the events-sphere in the past few months alone, including: a 1950s inspired pool party, complete with dressed up waitresses and synchronised swimmers; the Hemingway's Vintage Festival, part of the 2014 Commonwealth Games celebrations, seeing the likes of 40s/50s dance troupes and a gramophone DJ.... even the Corporate Entertainment Talent Competition had a vintage bowling theme for the second heat - enough said!

Vintage Airstreams & Vendors

Why not serve up vintage style food and drinks from vintage trailers and vendor stands - call the Alive Network team today to arrange the ideal candy stand or 40s ice cream cart for your corporate event.

Everyone loves food, especially delicious treats that come served from exciting vintage themed carts and kiosks. Yummy Carts can provide your guests with perfect popcorn, candyfloss, ice cream and more! Get in touch with our agents to arrange what you want served up at your vintage themed event.

Vocal Harmony Trios & Quartets

Book a vocal harmony trio or quartet for your vintage corporate event to give your guests the rare opportunity to relive the 1940s musical trend that was three-part harmony singing. Close harmony singing requires huge talent and many years of practice, and when executed magnificently, like our artists can, your guests will be blown away!

The Melodic Belles are a beautiful 40's and 50's vocal harmony trio. They are guaranteed to have you swinging and along to the sounds of The Andrews Sisters, Vera Lynn, The Chordettes, The McGuire Sisters and many, many more!

I am writing to thank you for organising your group to come over to Normandy as a major part of the 70th Anniversary of D-Day...I can tell you that all our group travelling from England, all the French and especially all the Veterans were absolutely blown away by their performance.

A top class, sassy, talented vintage vocal trio who can definitely bring the WOW factor to your vintage themed corporate event!

We loved having The Sweet Arts perform at our event, they were exceptionally friendly and accommodating and were flexible throughout the whole day taking our requests and timings on board.

My guests enjoyed every minute of their performance and I would certainly book them again.

I can't thank the Bugle Bells enough - they were very professional but also bags of fun to work with - and super talented. The guests at our 1940s themed party really were 'wowed' by the performance. I'd highly recommend them.

Vintage Gramophone DJs

Nothing will complement your vintage theme event like 30s, 40s and 50s music! Why not hire one of our Gramophone DJs to play 78s, over original 1930s HMV gramophones throughout the day.

A quirky, original 1930s HMV gramophone owner who can spin rare 78s to your heart's content to give your corporate event a vintage tinge, sending your guests as far back as the 1920s!

Jazz Bands

Jazz bands and orchestras dominated what we now call the 'vintage music scene' of the early 20th century, which became popular in the 1910s in New Orleans and quickly spread to the UK and Europe. We have a huge collection of jazz bands, duos, trios and jazz orchestras to give your vintage themed corporate entertainment the sophistication and class it needs - enquire today!

Outstanding, professional and gifted jazz musicians, The Quartones will make your vintage theme event complete with authentic covers of 1940s and 1950s era songs and brilliant jazzy instrumental jams.

I would highly recommend The Quartones if you want a Jazz Band to add fun and quality to your event at a reasonable price. We opted for a female vocalist which was an excellent decision as she had a beautiful voice that added to the fantastic sound of the Sax, Double Bass, Keyboards and Drums combo. Thank you Jacob and the band for filling the room with your wonderful tone.

A unique jazz and swing band who can play the most jaw-dropping instrumental breakdowns you'll ever hear, amongst other great songs from the 40s/50s!This 5-piece band will transport you back to war-time Britain in the blink of an eye.

The Wize-Guys were great at our corporate event. They were very talented and very professional. Their music was a great addition to our celebrations and helped to create the perfect atmosphere for our guests to network in. The band seem more than capable to cater for all functions and affairs and would be the ideal choice for those looking for a classic swing band.

Venturing across the pond now, the Strutters are a vintage New Orleans style jazz band who come in a number of different line-ups to suit any corporate event budget. They can be booked as a fully acoustic band - so there's no need for a PA, just total immersion into how things we're done back in the golden days of jazz music.

They were a tremendous success and our guests were delighted when they appeared and played. We had kept their appearance a surprise and they were great. They arrived ahead of time, looked great and were four very nice men. They played well and got our guests dancing. They were very good value for money and I wouldn't hesitate to book them again and to recommend them. We have had so much good feedback from our guests praising The Storyville Strutters.

King Pleasure and the Biscuit Boys, were incredible. They were extremely professional, turned up on time, set up discreetly etc. The show they put on for us was phenomenal and we have nothing but praise for the band. They got everyone on their feet by the end of the evening and no one wanted them to stop playing. In short, they were terrific.
