From a string trio for a board dinner to a 12-piece soul orchestra for a gala — the Paris entertainment talent we recommend for international corporate events.
Jazz, DJ, live band, mentalist, cabaret, MC — covering every moment of a corporate event.

DJ · AfterpartyResident DJ at Le Silencio Club. Lounge to peak-time house.

Cabaret · ShowCustom shows from former Lido and Crazy Horse performers.
MC · BilingualBilingual EN/FR conference moderator. Ex-Bloomberg TV.
Match the entertainment format to the moment of the event: arrival and cocktail want ambient (jazz trio, harpist, DJ background), dinner needs background acoustic, the show moment takes a single spotlight act (cabaret, magician, soul band), the afterparty requires DJ and dance lighting.
For brand-sensitive events, request the artist's setlist in advance — many planners learn too late that the "soul band" they booked closes with a song that conflicts with their brand's tone. Reputable Paris agencies will provide adjustable setlists at no extra cost.
