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.

Where it works best

  • The welcome

    Hosts or hostesses to greet guests at the door

  • The reception

    Stilt walkers or champagne walkers during the drinks reception

  • Through the evening

    A jazz singer or band through drinks and dinner

  • The headline moment

    A giant champagne glass show as the headline moment

  • The finale

    Charleston dancers to open the dance floor

Tips from our team

  1. 1

    Make the arrival the moment

    Hostesses with feathered fans and a stilt walker at the entrance set the tone before anyone reaches the bar.

  2. 2

    Keep the music in period

    Jazz standards through dinner, then let the DJ take over with electro swing.

  3. 3

    Teach the Charleston

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

Frequently asked questions

Do venues around Nelson have rules for performers?

Many hotels and country houses have rules on ceiling rigging, fire, access times and changing space. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we will check everything before we confirm.

How much do Gatsby themed entertainment cost in Nelson?

There is no fixed price. Every event is different. Prices depend on the acts, the number of performers, timings, travel and location, so we quote each booking individually. Travel is part of the quote, and Nelson is 19 miles west of Bradford. Send us your date and venue for free, no-obligation options.

Which postcodes around Nelson do you cover?

All of BB8, BB9 and BB18, including Brierfield, Barrowford, Colne, Trawden, Foulridge and Barnoldswick, plus the rest of Lancashire and nearby Burnley, Clitheroe, Accrington and Todmorden.

What is included in a Gatsby entertainment package?

There is no fixed package. Most clients mix a welcome act (hosts or stilt walkers), a showpiece (champagne glass or champagne walkers), live jazz and dancers. We suggest a line-up that fits your venue, timings and budget.

Can the performers serve drinks?

Yes. Champagne walkers and some hosts can serve welcome drinks or canapés, working with your venue's bar and catering team.

How far ahead should we book?

As early as you can. Friday and Saturday dates in December and the summer months go first, often months ahead. Short notice is sometimes possible, so it is always worth asking.

Can the performers match our theme or brand colours?

Usually, yes. Tell us your theme, colours or brand guidelines and we will suggest the costumes and acts that fit best.

Do you work with our venue and event team?

Yes. We agree access, changing space, timings and any venue rules before the day, and work to your run of show.

Still have questions?

Tell us about your event and we'll come back with options.
