Live Music for Corporate Events Netherlands
Corporate live music, Netherlands

Bands, jazz trios and DJ sets for corporate events across the Netherlands.

The phrase people type is "live music for corporate events", and the reason is simple: a corporate event lives or dies on its atmosphere, and a playlist never carries a room of colleagues the way a live act does. Lupa Entertainment, founded in 2018 by working bandleader Noam Bargil, books live music for corporate events of every shape, from cocktail receptions and gala dinners to product launches, conference openers, town halls, award nights and year-end parties.

We have produced more than 300 events for teams at Heineken, Microsoft, Salesforce, Booking.com, IBM, Canon, ING and the City of Amsterdam, in venues from the Conservatorium Hotel and Hotel de l'Europe to the Gashouder and Westergasfabriek. The right answer is rarely one act for the whole night. It is usually a sequence: a jazz trio under the reception, a band when the dancing starts, a DJ to close. We design that sequence so it fits your run of show and your budget.

How it works

What live music does for a corporate event

A live act sets the tempo of a room without anyone naming the mechanics. During a reception it gives guests something to gather around and lowers the awkwardness of a room that doesn't know each other yet. During dinner it keeps the energy warm under the conversation. After the speeches it gives people a reason to stay, and a dance floor a company party rarely fills on its own. The skill is reading those moments in real time, which is what separates a working live act from a function-band cliche.

How we run a corporate booking

Most corporate clients come to us through our artiestenbureau with a date, a venue and a headcount, and we come back with a recommended line-up. For an all-band evening see our corporate bands for international events, for a curated reception see jazz for corporate events, and for a high-energy close a corporate DJ or a Dutch bedrijfsfeest band. One bandleader runs the day, one invoice goes to your finance team.

Prices for live music at a corporate event

Live music for a corporate event starts at EUR 1,000 for an acoustic duo and EUR 1,400 for a jazz trio. A full 4-piece live band with its own sound and light starts at EUR 3,000, and each extra musician adds EUR 500, so a 5-piece runs from EUR 3,500 and a 6-piece from EUR 4,000. A DJ starts at EUR 850, or EUR 1,500 with full sound and light. A multi-act evening is quoted as one package on a single invoice, so there is no surprise on the procurement side.
