Corporate Events
Live Bands
Live music can immediately change the energy of a room.
For a large celebration or gala, a high-energy dance band can turn the entertainment into one of the major experiences of the evening.
For receptions, dinners and other events where conversation remains important, live music can create atmosphere without taking over the room.
Ariel Music & Events can help determine the style, size and energy level of the musical presentation based on your audience and event format.
The goal may be a packed dance floor.
It may be sophisticated background music.
Or it may move from one to the other over the course of the evening.
Do we need a DJ,
a band or both?
A professional DJ provides enormous flexibility for a corporate audience.
One event may bring together employees, executives, clients and guests from several generations and musical backgrounds. A DJ can move naturally between genres and eras while adjusting the energy as the event develops.
DJs are an excellent option for holiday parties, company celebrations, after-parties, networking events and corporate receptions where musical variety is especially important.
Hybrid bands include a DJ and one or more live musicians to bring a fuller, more produced sound to a live music event.
Music can also be coordinated around scheduled presentations, announcements and other programmed portions of the event.
Holiday Parties
Holiday parties are a chance to bring people together outside the usual workday and celebrate the year in a way that feels genuinely special. Ariel Music & Events creates entertainment that matches the personality of your company and the atmosphere you want to create, from sophisticated cocktail receptions and elegant dinners to high-energy end-of-year celebrations.
Live bands, DJs and hybrid entertainment can be tailored to your guest list, venue and schedule, with music that moves naturally from arrivals and dinner through dancing and late-night festivities. We can also coordinate sound, lighting and production around speeches, awards, presentations and other planned moments throughout the evening.
Whether you are hosting an intimate team gathering or a large company-wide celebration, we help create a polished, seamless event where your guests can relax, connect and enjoy the occasion.
Awards
& Recognition ceremonies
At many corporate events, entertainment is only one part of a larger program.
There may be awards, executive remarks, presentations, videos, introductions, fundraising moments or recognition of employees and honorees.
Those elements need to happen on time and without awkward interruptions.
We coordinate the entertainment around the event schedule so music, announcements and transitions support the program instead of disrupting it.
A well-run event should move easily from one moment to the next even when there is a detailed plan operating behind the scenes.
Professional Sound
& Lighting Included
Professional sound and basic stage lighting are included with our entertainment services, giving our performers the technical support they need to look and sound their best.
We take care of the entertainment environment so you can concentrate on the reason everyone gathered in the first place.
If your vision involves additional lighting features, upgrades are available.
Entertainment
for a Diverse Audience
Corporate guest lists can be extraordinarily varied.
Employees may range widely in age. Clients may come from different industries, cultures or parts of the world. Executives and new hires may be sharing the same dance floor.
That makes musical range especially important.
Our bands and DJs draw from multiple decades and styles so the entertainment can engage a broad audience while still reflecting the personality of the company and the event.
If your organization has particular musical preferences, cultural considerations or songs that should — or should not — be included, those details can be incorporated into the planning process.
