What is in a Gatsby package?
A Gatsby night works because everyone knows the look: feathers, pearls, sharp suits, art deco gold and a room full of fizz. Our Gatsby performers bring that world in with them, from the moment guests arrive to the last dance.
Pick a single showpiece, like stilt walkers or a giant champagne glass, or build a full package with hosts, a jazz singer, Charleston dancers and roaming characters who stay in character all night.

Keep the music in period
Jazz standards through dinner, then let the DJ take over with electro swing.

Teach the Charleston
A short dance lesson from the dancers gets even the shyest guests up and laughing.
