CORPORATE & PRIVATE EVENTS

Entertainment people actually watch

Holiday parties, company milestones, private celebrations — Hot Popsicle brings live pop and dance music that holds a room's attention instead of sitting in the background.

Reads the room

Keys, drums and sax, mixed from the stage, which means we control the volume rather than asking you to. Background level during a drinks reception or an awards segment, full energy once the formal part is done. Live music throughout, not a backing track, built around songs your crowd already knows.

Easy to work with

We show up on time, load in quietly, and work with whatever AV or timeline your event already has. If you're the one coordinating the day, the band should be the part you don't have to worry about.

How booking works

1

Check your date

Send us the date, venue, and what kind of event it is — we'll follow up with pricing and availability.

2

Lock it in

A signed agreement and a deposit hold the date. We can work with your procurement or AP process if you need us to.

3

Coordinate the details

We'll confirm timing, space, and power needs ahead of the day so there are no surprises for you or your venue.

Questions planners ask

How much space and power do you need?

Less than most bands — there is no guitar rig and no backline. Tell us the room and we'll give you exact figures for your floor plan. How we work on site is covered on the venues and planners page.

Can you keep the volume down?

Yes, and we plan for it. We run our own mix and monitor from the stage, so we can play a cocktail hour at conversation level and then open up once dancing starts. If your venue has a decibel limit, tell us the number.

What do you do during breaks?

Recorded music through our PA, chosen to match the set. The room never goes silent between sets.

How long does setup take?

Give us a load-in window that ends before guests arrive and we'll be set, checked and out of sight. We run our own sound, so there is no separate AV call to coordinate.

Do you take requests from our guests or our team?

Send us must-plays and do-not-plays ahead of the event and we'll build around them. On the night we read the room, but your list comes first.

Can you work with our AV company?

Yes. Put us in touch and we'll sort out patching, monitors, and who's providing what before the day, not during it.

How do we pay?

Deposit to hold the date, balance per the agreement. Tell us what your accounts payable process needs and we'll work with it.
