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.

Tips from our team
- 1
Keep the music in period
Jazz standards through dinner, then let the DJ take over with electro swing.
- 2
Make the arrival the moment
Hostesses with feathered fans and a stilt walker at the entrance set the tone before anyone reaches the bar.
- 3
Teach the Charleston
A short dance lesson from the dancers gets even the shyest guests up and laughing.

How much do Gatsby themed entertainment cost in Ryde?

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.

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