In a competitive market like NYC, entertainment can make or break your event. It doesn’t matter how wonderful your keynote speaker is, how beautiful your floral arrangements are, or how incredible the merch is in your swag bags. If the entertainment doesn’t keep your guests engaged, your event will flop.
Fortunately, a new trend makes it easier than ever to create engaging events, even when it’s not appropriate for the entertainment to be front and center: ambient artists. Background entertainment changes the energy of your event, providing a way to keep guests engaged, clients happy, and your business at the top of the industry.
What Are Ambient Artists?
Ambient artists are entertainers who contribute to the atmosphere of your event without taking over the spotlight. If you’ve ever been to a wedding with a string quartet or attended a Renaissance fair with roving characters in costume, you’ve already experienced background entertainment provided by ambient artists.
As an NYC event planner, you can take advantage of companies like Altus Entertainment that offer “Atmosphere and Ambient Entertainment.” With a variety of ambient artists available to book, it’s easy to find performers to fit any event.
How Can Ambient Artists Change the Energy of My Event?
Whether you’re hosting a corporate conference, business dinner, wedding, or milestone birthday party, ambient artists are the perfect solution to elevate the energy of your event without taking the focus off speakers, honorees, or the happy couple. Guests enjoy the ambiance of the event and are entertained by the artists in the background, while the focus remains on the main activities of the event. In a setting like a festival, ambient artists also contribute to the overall atmosphere of the event as guests move through the venue.
