Central Florida is home to iconic theme parks, a thriving entertainment industry, and much more — making it also one of the best places in the country to host a convention. Orlando, with its high density of hotels, restaurants, event venues, and attractions, also touts the second largest convention center in the US — the Orange County Convention Center. As we come upon October – May, what’s widely considered to be Orlando’s “convention season,” we’re here to provide a few ideas and tips for booking live music entertainment for your big event.
Live Music for Conventions
We’ve got live music ensembles for corporate events and conventions both big and small.
Need to corral attendees from one area to another?
We suggest a strolling pep band to command a crowd’s attention, lead them between locations, and inaugurate important segments on the schedule.
Looking for a high-energy, yet leisurely sound to welcome guests at the entrance?
Dixieland Jazz Bands or string quartets can provide a refreshing, vibrant feel to greet attendees into any lobby, ballroom, or exhibit.
Prefer some casual background music in the lobby or dining area?
A jazz or string trio can create a relaxed, sophisticated ambiance to help keep attendees’ energy levels from tanking throughout the long days.
Know there will be a long line at some point?
This is a great opportunity to entertain the attendees waiting with strolling musicians — whether a violinist, accordion player, acoustic guitarist, vocalist, or a combination!
Booking Live Music for Conventions
So when’s the best time to secure your musicians and entertainment for a convention? Ideally, at least 4 months in advance will help ensure availability — so as soon as you have your venue, don’t wait too long! Need help understanding your many live music options?
