The office holiday party
Tejas Singh
Quartet. Fronted by Tejas Singh.
Two hundred staff, a hotel ballroom, a short program in front of the dancing. The band plays dinner at conversation volume and gets loud on cue.
- Configuration
- Quartet, 4 players
Corporate & Galas
Everyone in the office remembers that one party.
. . .The one where everyone flooded the dance floor. Where people who had planned to leave after dinner were still there at the end, and half the office was still talking about it in February. That party is a bookable thing, and mostly it comes down to who is playing and whether the night was built around your program or dropped on top of it.
Signet Artists is a Denver corporate entertainment company: bands, small ensembles, a DJ and a live band karaoke act, all on one contract. Office holiday parties, galas and award nights, client dinners, mountain retreats and the after-party each have a page below, and the program section explains how the music works around remarks, an auction and a video. Our musicians have done this for Amazon, NBCUniversal, Charles Schwab and the Denver Art Museum.

details and costs
three Examples and some details on each
Sound support and a point of contact for the night are spec'd in every booking.
The client dinner
Jazz Duo
Duo. Upright bass and guitar.
Twenty at one table or eighty at ten. The conversation is the event, so the music sits under it for the whole night and nobody has to raise their voice to be heard across the table.
- Configuration
- Duo, 2 players
The member or association event
Dirty Flamenco
Trio. Fronted by Gary Meyers.
An event that has remarks in it and wants one thing guests describe afterwards. A set piece rather than a background, placed where the program leaves space for it.
- Configuration
- Trio, 3 players
“Their music created the perfect atmosphere, elegant, sophisticated and beautifully understated, while still adding something truly special to the evening. They were professional, polished and elevated the entire event.”
What live music costs in this market is set out on the pricing page. Travel outside the metro, holiday weekends and New Year’s Eve are quoted as their own lines on the contract rather than folded into a total.
The occasions
Five corporate occasions, each with its own page.
The configurations above show what a corporate booking looks like. Each occasion also carries a full page of its own: the dates, the venues that market books, the way the music works around the program, and the questions that come with it.
- Office holiday parties
- The season page, with every Thursday, Friday and Saturday of November and December dated and the peak premiums tagged, plus the January party, which Denver venues now run as part of the same season.
- Galas and award nights
- The program-driven evening: remarks, an auction, a paddle raise, a video, a walk to the stage. That page sets out what the music does on either side of each cue, from the reception act to the floor after the last award.
- Client dinners and member events
- Dinners where the conversation is the event: client dinners, member and association evenings, private clubs, firms and showrooms. The jazz duo leads that page, playing low enough that the table forgets it is there and well enough that they remember on the way out.
- Corporate retreats
- Retreats and incentive events in the mountain corridor, Vail through Aspen, and the Colorado evening a group that flew in for it expects. A resort date carries the drive and, past the passes, a night’s lodging, both itemised.
- After-parties
- The hour after a conference dinner, a gala program or the holiday party’s speeches. A DJ with a live player over the set, a band that lets the crowd sing, or a soul band on the ballroom floor, on the sound system that’s already up.
What each size costs in this market is in the cost guide, and ideas for the whole evening are in corporate event entertainment ideas in Denver.

We Work around your event's program
Every great corporate evening runs on great programming. You've got remarks from leadership, maybe an an award or auction, a window of time where people need to hear each other talk. Dinner and networking are served with live music at conversation volume, and the night can get loud later, when loud is exactly the point.
The music stops while your CEO is still three steps from the microphone. Transitions are planned with the run of show.
We work awards dinners, auctions, remarks and a video the same way: music up to the moment, silence through it, music again when the applause starts. If the program wants a louder set, live band karaoke is its own act: the band plays the hits on its own and hands the mic to whoever wants a song.
Galas and fundraisers book this way too, at the same sizes. A reception set through arrival, dinner music around the program, and the auction, the paddle raise and the thank-yous treated as cues the band works around. What a gala needs from the music is precision against its program, and the galas and award nights page covers every cue.
Getting us through your finance team
- Vendor onboarding and purchase orders
- We can be set up as a vendor and quote against a PO. Start it early; onboarding is usually the slowest step in a corporate booking, and it is the one nobody schedules.
- One itemised invoice
- Everything on separate lines, in a form accounts payable will accept the first time, with the W-9 and the certificate of insurance already in their inbox from the day you signed.
The full list of what every booking includes is on the pricing page.
Playing the mountain corridor
Mountain venues run on their own rules. Decibel limits and curfews are honoured as written, and where there is a cap we want the number at contract: a band that knows the ceiling in advance builds a different night under it, choosing arrangements and instrumentation to land inside the limit instead of just turning down.
Load-in is coordinated with the venue before the day. Dock times, elevator windows, dedicated circuits, where the cases sit during dinner. All of it is written down by band size, so you can hand the venue a link rather than relay questions between us.
Travel is its own line on the quote, at the rates on the pricing page. The caps, the curfews, the altitude and what Colorado’s statewide noise law does to a town sound permit are all set out on the mountain corridor page, cited and dated.
Corporate booking questions
The full set, from substitutions to decibel caps, is on the planners question list.
- What does live music cost for a corporate event in Denver?
- It depends on the size of the act, the hours it plays and the date. We do not publish prices, because one figure would be wrong for most of the nights somebody read it on. What live music costs across this market is set out on our pricing page, sourced. Send the date, the venue and the guest count and you get our number for that night.
- How far in advance should we book?
- Corporate holiday parties are typically decided August through October for November and December dates, and New Year's Eve books earliest of all. Client dinners and retreats run on shorter windows, and any date gets a straight yes or no by email.
- Can you work with our procurement process?
- Yes. We can be set up as a vendor, quote against a purchase order, and invoice net-30 on approval. A certificate of insurance naming your venue, a W-9 and one itemised invoice arrive in the same email as the contract. Vendor onboarding is usually the slowest step, so start it early.
- How do you handle speeches and a program?
- The music stops while your speaker is still steps from the microphone, and transitions are rehearsed against the run of show the week before the event. A dedicated announcement microphone is live on its own channel from the end of sound check at every size, so remarks, awards and auctions never wait on a cable swap.
- How loud is the band during dinner and networking?
- Dinner and cocktails run 65 to 72 dBA at the nearest table, a level you can talk across without raising your voice. Dancing runs 88 to 95 dBA on the floor, later in the night, when loud is the point. If your venue enforces a cap, give us the number at contract and the night is built under it.
