When we think of award ceremonies, we should think of celebration, reward and memorable immersive experiences, however… in most cases award ceremonies feel long, boring and to be honest a chore! That’s where you need to hire experienced award ceremony planners such as Blackberry Events to manage your event in a way that ignites inspiration, rewards hard work, increases stakeholder satisfaction and most importantly – entertains!
When it comes to entertainment ideas for awards ceremonies,whether corporate or public you are never short of inspiration and thrilling options that promise to engage your delegates.
From interactive entertainment to live acts and performances, we help you find the perfect award ceremony entertainment that suits your event objectives, audience and budget. The event management experts at Blackberry Events have written a guide to selecting the perfect entertainment for your awards ceremony.
Now wait there! Before we delve into the exciting world of corporate entertainment, we have to say one thing, know your audience. It sounds simple but you’d be surprised how many of us don’t consider this when searching for entertainment when event planning.
Use data from past event feedback, personas or statistics regarding average age, gender and job title to really get to know your audience and to understand what inclusivity looks like to them too.
It is important not to forget this step, it can be the difference between a memorable night that is talked about for months, even years to come or the example people use to avoid making the same mistakes in the future. Let us put it into context, for example, if you are planning an internal awards ceremony for a team of energetic salespeople you may choose different entertainment to a public award with an audience containing a mixture of businesses from a broad range of sectors.
Next, refer to the objectives set for your awards ceremony and be sure your choice of entertainment aligns with these objectives. Also think about your brand and the tone of voice and perception you want to portray. Entertainment if chosen correctly can compliment a brand image or event theme, creating an immersive experience. If networking or team collaboration is something you’d like to come from your awards ceremony,interactive entertainment is your best bet and if you are hosting an awards evening for external stakeholders from a wide variety of sectors, something more suited for all, safe and inclusive to an array of personalities is likely better suited.
Add an air of sophistication and anticipation to your awards ceremony with the help of casino tables. Casino tables are run by professional croupiers who create fun for all and aid both beginners and advanced players in enjoying classic casino games such as Roulette and Blackjack.As a free participation game it makes for no forced fun, just voluntary mingling at your guests own accord – a great choice when you have a mixture of personality types and ages. Casino tables can be placed around the room for the duration of your event with little to no fuss.
Inject some fun and connection with photo boots, walls or features for guests to come together and make memories. Add props or branding to create laughter or eye-catching displays and digital sending for those ‘shareable’ moments. Long gone are the days of large modular photo booths that take up heaps of space and are quite frankly a logistical nightmare! The modern world of photo walls, booths and features offers tonnes of styles of booth and backdrop to suit your venue and logistical needs.For larger floor space you could wow guests with a 360 photo booth or for smaller more compact spaces you can have a freestanding vintage photo booth.
Are you looking for awards entertainment that brings colleagues or guests together for competitive and free flowing fun? There is a reason why gamification bars are all the range,but they are not ideal for large groups. We help you bring similar games to your awards event. Space dependent, you can choose from Retro Arcade Games,Racing Simulators, Sporting or Pub Games. Once the formalities are over, go head-to-head with a game of Air Hockey, Table Football, Scalextric or Shuffleboard.
Are you looking to get attendees up on their feet at their tables singing along and dancing to some classics we all know and love? Roaming musicians are the perfect way to get the audience involved in a musical production that will lift anyone’s spirits. Have singers and saxophone players serenade members of the audience whilst being positioned around the room, giving everyone their own personal show no matter the seating plan!Another popular alternative awards ceremony entertainment option is Singing Waiters.Have guests in shock (in the best way possible) as the waiters and waitresses burst into song and dance mid service. Tailor songs to members of the audience,a great option for corporate companies who know their audience well and want to add an extra layer of personalisation and humour.
Bring magic to your awards ceremony event, with the help of our amazing magicians. Have guests in awe with impressive tricks and illusions. We recommend charismatic magicians who will work the room, increasing interaction, creating crows and provoking emotional reactions.
Who doesn’t love a stilt walker. These make for great event entertainment that compliments your theme and décor whilst making for a great photo opportunity. Blackberry Events provide a wide range of stilt walkers, ones who can support in different ways such as welcoming guests,taking photos with guests or performing for guests.
Depending on your event objectives you can choose from a show-stopping entrance or half time performance with a group of on-stage dancers or choose to incorporate some unique dancers within the crowd such as Disco Heads or GlowBots and really get the party started at the end of the night as everyone takes to the dance floor with these eye-catching performers to accompany them.
A classic favourite but for good reason! Having a DJ, live band, singer or musician can be a simple but effective way to entertain guests at your awards evening. If you have a full-on agenda with little time for entertainment, then this could be the ideal way to start or end the night.
Hassle-free easy entertainment but don’t be fooled, we still recommend you source through a professional event management company like Blackberry Events to secure the right one. Top tip: be sure to pick an upbeat and energetic and modern playlist that suits your audience – no one wants slow jams we aren’t at a wedding or the local working men’s club.
Turn up the heat with fire breathers at your awards ceremony. Have them ignite excitement as guests approach your venue entrance. Fire breathers are particularly great if your awards are held in the winter when darker nights are apparent so guests can make the most of viewing this colourful, inferno of fun!
