Top Ideas for Private Event Entertainment

Planning a private party? You want it to be memorable, lively, and perfectly tailored to your guests. Whether it’s a wedding, corporate celebration, or an intimate get-together, the right entertainment can transform your event from ordinary to unforgettable.

At We Are Soma, we specialise in creating experiences that bring people together through music, energy, and atmosphere. Here are some ideas guaranteed to keep the dance floor full and the vibes high.

Signature Entertainment That Sets the Mood

The heartbeat of any great event is its entertainment. From sunset cocktails to late-night dance floors, here’s how to create moments your guests will never forget:

• DJ, Sax & Percussion Combos – our signature setup. Live musicians fuse with the DJ to create an evolving soundtrack that lifts the room, keeps guests moving, and brings pure energy from start to finish.

• Roaming Musicians – let sax or percussionists move through the crowd, breaking the barrier between performance and party. It’s spontaneous, interactive, and electric.

• Signature Rouge Dancers – professional dancers who elevate any stage or dance floor, adding flair, movement, and that extra spark of showtime magic.

• Silent Disco – one of the South West’s most in-demand experiences. Guests choose their channel, dance to their favourite vibe, and become part of a surreal, euphoric atmosphere that everyone talks about.

• Immersive Brunch or Sunset Sessions – think Ibiza energy meets Somerset soul: curated playlists, live performances, and beautiful production in unique settings.

Each concept can be tailored to your audience and venue — whether it’s a beach terrace, marquee wedding, or corporate rooftop.

How to Choose the Perfect Entertainment for Your Event

Selecting the right entertainment can feel overwhelming. Here’s a simple guide to help you make the best choice:

1. Consider Your Audience: Think about your guests’ interests and preferences. Are they more into music, interactive activities, or visual arts?

2. Match the Venue: Some entertainment options work better indoors, others outdoors. Check the space and acoustics before booking.

3. Set Your Budget: Entertainment costs vary widely. Decide what you’re willing to spend and prioritize accordingly.

4. Think About Timing: Plan entertainment around your event schedule. For example, a live band might be perfect for the main party, while a magician suits cocktail hour.

5. Hire Professionals: Experienced entertainers know how to read the room and keep energy levels high.

   
   

By following these steps, you’ll find entertainment that fits your event perfectly and keeps guests delighted.
