Main Event Entertainment Ideas

Are you an event planner responsible for the main event entertainment ideas for a company, business, or office event? Or maybe it’s a gala or private affair. Do we have that right? Listen, of course we have a lot of fantastic event ideas listed below, but whether it’s a product launch, leadership retreat event, or a holiday party, the main point is this. The more you can get your attendees and invited guests engaged, involved and talking about the event, the better! The objective is to have an event that gives everyone memorable experiences while achieving the most important goals of the event itself. All the event decisions need to be aligned to support the achievement of that objective. Once you get your ideas listed, begin thinking about how to cohesively blend those ideas into your event.

Creative Main Event Entertainment Ideas

When it comes to creative main event entertainment ideas, there is just one problem you are likely to face. The feeling of “seen it, done it” lingering around in the minds of your guests the moment they are invited to the event. The truth is, they are likely right. But you can really change that perception by doing something different and innovative from very the start. You can make them feel good when they think about the upcoming event. You can make them feel excited and eager to attend. You can make them feel important! And the sooner, the better!

So how do you accomplish that? You do something that no one else is doing. You do it with the most overlooked, untapped and underutilized opportunity available to you. The invitations! It’s true; the way you invite your guests and VIPs can make all the difference. So, be different!

Sending Gigeo® personalized video invitations is the easiest way to engage your guests and VIPs while creating a buzz long before your event begins.

Main Event Entertainment Ideas for Planners

Below you will see a variety of inspiring, innovative, creative, and out of the ordinary event ideas to help get your event planning headed in the right direction.

Glow Show
Everything looks better, brighter, and shiner. If you are looking for an unforgettable experience for your guests, a mesmerizing ‘Glow Show’ is perfect for your opening ceremony.

Electricity Show
Wow, the audience with electrifying entertainment.

Toy Soldiers on Stilts
These entertainers will be impossible to miss! They’re an Instagram dream. Hire some soldier to walk around on stilts playing on LED drums.

Water Dancers
These human fountains will impress your guests with an unforgettable water performance.

Electrical Parade
Light up your night with a stunning electrical performance.

Cultural Parade
Incorporate your location’s history to influence your activities and performances.

Hot Air Balloon Rides or Launches
Many people dream of going in hot air balloons, although the weather conditions have to be just right.

Art Stroll that Supports your Mission
Create an art gallery tour. You can even auction off the creations to raise money for a charity.

Are you in charge of a casino special event, company event, celebrity golf tournament or the entertainment ideas for a corporate party? The objectives and goals of most corporate events will differ substantially for every event. This makes the planning, production and execution of your main event very different from another event. Because of this, it can be quite challenging to square the corporate objectives and goals for the event you are planning. Additionally, there is the added pressure for new creative and innovative guest experiences and event ideas. And it really makes no difference whether the event is for live, in-person attendees or a virtual event.
