Stuck for entertainment ideas? Let us help you…
Keep things sophisticated with a String Quartet
We can’t think of a better form of entertainment for a dinner party than that of a a live music performance. Amongst the many musicians available to book on Entertainers Worldwide is a very good selection of String Quartets that you can hire for a beautiful, instrumental performance allowing your guests freedom to talk among themselves and socialise. A String Quartet generally consists of two violins, a viola and then the deeper sound of a cello. The combination of these string instruments offers such a wonderful sound that will add sophistication and demure to your dinner party. You also have the option of choosing from modern instrumental versions of popular songs to the present day, from the likes of Coldplay, Adele and Mumford and Sons, or stick to classical music from great composers. Simply ask your chosen String Quartet for their repertoire of songs they can perform! Click here to find a String Quartet for your dinner party today!
Keep to the budget and choose a Cellist instead!
If your budget simply won’t allow for a String Quartet but you still want the warmth and gentle performance of an instrumentalist at your dinner party, we highly recommend choosing a Cellist to perform. A Cellist will again play classical music or modern instrumental songs while your guests eat and talk among themselves. Hiring a cellist will generally be a more reasonable choice than a whole String Quartet, but this does depend on their experience. Another benefit of hiring an instrumentalist, such as a Cellist is that they take up less space to perform so if you are hosting your dinner party in a small venue or indeed your home, a cellist might be the right choice for you! Find a cellist using our entertainment directory and get booking!
For a different kind of sound, book a Pianist/ keyboardist
Live music is one of the best types of entertainment for any event, but for a dinner party you probably want to keep it relatively low-key so that your guests can carry on chatting and eating while enjoying the background ambiance. If string instruments aren’t your thing, there is always the option of a pianist or keyboardist. If your venue has a piano, your musician will likely use it, however don’t worry if there isn’t one or that you do not have much space available. Most pianists and keyboardists can bring their own baby grand piano or keyboard to perform to your guests! Most instrumentalists, including pianists / keyboardists will again offer classical music or modern hits and some will even add Jazz into the mix. Want to find a pianist / keyboardist?

Keep things smooth and book a Saxophonist
Heading back over to musical types of entertainment, a Saxophonist gives your dinner party a much smoother, rich ambience. Playing Jazz and soulful music, a Saxophonist will perform to your guests giving them an original background sound.

Give guests a memento with the help of a Caricaturist
For entertainment that will give you and your guests plenty of memories, why not choose a Caricaturist for your dinner party?

Once your caricaturist has finished drawing, your guests will be given their drawing to take away with them. Choosing a caricaturist provides a type of entertainment that is quiet and can go on in the background, while your guests continue to eat and socialise.
