London has more event venues than anywhere else in the UK, from hotel ballrooms and livery halls to rooftop bars, riverside venues and suburban golf clubs. We supply acts for weddings, corporate events, private parties and celebrations across Greater London.
Tell us the venue, the guest numbers and the feel you want, and we’ll suggest acts who suit the room and the budget.
Getting there
Central London venues are best reached outside rush hour, and many have no on-site parking, so acts often need a loading slot and nearby parking arranged in advance. The Congestion Charge and ULEZ apply in central and Greater London, and we factor travel and any charges into your quote so there are no surprises.
Venues we supply
- Hotel ballrooms and conference venues for awards dinners and Christmas parties
- Livery halls, museums and historic buildings for gala dinners and weddings
- Rooftop, riverside and bar venues for drinks receptions and launches
- Golf clubs, sports clubs and community halls across the suburbs for birthdays and anniversaries
Choosing an act
Many London venues have sound limiters, especially in residential areas and listed buildings. Acoustic duos, solo vocalists and swing singers work well where volume is restricted, while larger function rooms suit a full party band. For a themed night, a tribute act gives guests a show they will talk about for weeks.
Planning tips
Book early for December, as Christmas party dates in London fill up quickly. Confirm the finish time, the get-in time and where the act can change, and check whether the venue needs PAT certificates or public liability insurance details in advance.
Acts we recommend
All acts →Frequently asked questions
Can you supply acts for central London venues with strict load-in times?
Yes. Many central venues have fixed get-in slots, loading-bay bookings and sound limits. Tell us the venue’s rules when you enquire and we’ll match an act who can work within them.
Do you cover outer London and the Home Counties?
Yes. We book acts across all London boroughs and the surrounding counties, including Hertfordshire, Essex, Surrey and Kent.
Which acts work well for London corporate events?
Swing and Rat Pack singers for drinks receptions, a comedian or host for awards nights, and a party band or tribute act to finish the evening are all popular choices.
How much does it cost to book an act?
Fees depend on the act, date, travel and set length, so we quote each event individually. Send an enquiry with your date and venue postcode and we’ll come back with a tailored price – there’s no obligation.
