Corporate Event Entertainment in Chicago
The right corporate entertainment should have a job: welcome guests, support networking, create a focal moment, shift the energy, open the dance floor or give the room a finale.
You do not need to arrive with an act already chosen. Tell Vaudezilla what needs to happen in the room, and we’ll recommend the entertainment that belongs there.
Featured entertainment from $795 • Multi-performer experiences from $3,500 • Creative production from $7,500+

Start With What the Entertainment Needs to Do
Welcome Guests
Hosts, live music, visual performers and characters can make arrival feel intentional before the formal program begins.
Support Networking
Interactive entertainment can create conversation points without forcing the entire room to stop what it is doing.
Create a Focal Moment
A concise featured performance can mark an opening, transition, celebration, award, reveal or brand moment.
Shift the Energy
After meetings, speeches or dinner, entertainment can make it clear that the next part of the evening has begun.
Open the Dance Floor
Performers can bridge the gap between formal programming and a more social, celebratory room.
Deliver a Finale
Fire, LED, specialty performance or a custom closing moment can give the event a clear punctuation mark.
