Ask any seasoned event planner and they’ll tell you — finding entertainment that’s genuinely uplifting, a bit different, and easy to work with isn’t always straightforward.
That’s probably why so many corporate organisers are turning to live choirs. Whether it’s a company celebration, client dinner or awards night, choirs tick a lot of boxes — they bring atmosphere, emotion and a real wow factor without being too much. And when it’s done well, it’s the thing people talk about on the way home.
Here’s why choirs like ours are fast becoming a go-to option for events that actually stick in people’s minds:
- They create energy and warmth the moment the singing starts
- They make people feel something (yes, even your most hard-to-impress guests)
- They’re a dream to organise — no drama, just great vibes
Let’s take a closer look at why choirs are having their moment with corporate planners.
Choirs Create an Instant Atmosphere Without Being Overbearing
One of the main reasons event planners love booking choirs is the atmosphere. The moment the first note lands, the room shifts. People stop chatting, they turn their heads, they smile — not because they feel like they have to, but because something real is happening right in front of them.
It’s a kind of magic that doesn’t take over the event — it lifts it.
Unlike a full band that might dominate the space, or background music that fades into the noise, a live choir creates a beautiful middle ground. It’s immersive but not overpowering. It fills the room but still leaves space for conversation, movement, and flow. Perfect for drinks receptions, dinners, conferences or anything that calls for a bit of heart.
Here’s what planners often tell us they love about using choirs at events:
- No need for huge sound systems or stage builds
- Works beautifully in both large venues and more intimate settings
- Guests feel engaged without feeling “on the spot”
It sets a tone — uplifting, thoughtful, joyful — depending on the vibe you want
We’ve performed at all sorts of corporate events — from stylish evening awards dos to casual team gatherings — and in every setting, the choir adds that extra layer of warmth and connection that you just can’t fake with a playlist.
Choir Performances Are Memorable and Emotionally Engaging
If you’ve ever seen a group of singers lock into harmony and fill a space with live vocals, you’ll know — it does something to people. We’ve seen it at so many events. One minute guests are politely sipping a drink, and the next they’re fully caught up in the moment. Some smile, some film it, some just stand quietly soaking it all in.
That’s the power of live voices — it feels personal, even in a big room.
Corporate events are often full of small talk, formalities and fast-moving schedules. A live choir performance cuts through all of that. It gives people something they weren’t expecting, something they can feel. It might be goosebumps from a powerful arrangement, or the surprise of hearing a song they know reimagined in a totally fresh way.
Here’s why this matters:
- People are more likely to remember how they felt than what was on the agenda
- Emotional moments help create genuine connection — between guests, clients and teams
- It adds heart and soul to events that might otherwise feel too polished
We often hear from organisers after a performance who say: “It made the whole event.” And that’s what we aim for — to be the part people keep talking about afterwards.
If you’re curious about how this could work at your next event, we’ve put together a simple guide on how to book a choir for an event that walks you through what’s involved.
Choirs Are Surprisingly Easy to Work With (Especially Ours)
One thing we hear a lot (usually after we’ve performed) is how simple the whole thing was to organise. For event planners juggling schedules, suppliers, catering, signage, and guest lists, the last thing you need is a complicated entertainment setup. That’s where booking a choir really shines.

Why Corporate Event Planners Keep Coming Back to Choirs
When you’re planning an event, you want entertainment that feels special, works across a range of audiences, and doesn’t give you a logistical headache. That’s exactly why more and more planners are choosing to include live choir performances — they bring warmth, energy and a genuine moment of connection that’s hard to match.
To quickly recap:
- Choirs create a brilliant atmosphere without stealing the spotlight
- They bring real emotional depth to an event — and people remember that
- They’re easy to book, flexible to work with, and bring their own feel-good factor
Whether you’re planning a high-end awards night, a relaxed team celebration or something completely unique, a choir can add that extra something that elevates the whole experience.
