Are you organising a charity and fundraising event, wedding, corporate event or a surprise party/celebration and are looking for themed ideas? What theme do you choose? Well, with the new Bond film Spectre coming out in 2015 then a Las Vegas, Casino, Bond, Mardi Gras, James Bond themed event will always be well received.
The Name Is Band – Bond Tribute Band have attended many events and we thought we’d pass a few of our ideas and some of our experience on to you!
If you are planning a James Bond Themed event then you’ll need to think about how you want the evening to run. It’s not all about the decoration – remember to leave enough in the budget for the entertainment!
Red Carpet Arrival – give your guests a celebrity entrance as they walk along a red carpet. Throw in some paparazzi to take their photographs as they arrive – it doesn’t have to be a professional photographer – ask a couple of mates to bring cameras, wear old macs and press hats – if there’s film in the camera then even better – but there doesn’t have to be!
Hire in beautiful showgirls wearing diamonds, sequins, feathers and bikinis to greet them with glasses of martini– shaken not stirred of course – and escort your guests into the venue in style.
Look-a-likes. Greet guests with a James Bond look-a-like:Daniel Craig, Sean Connery, Roger Moore. To add a bit of drama hire a henchman too like Jaws, Baron Samedi or Odd Job and get them to play off each other to add drama and excitement. If your event is a fundraiser then hire a photographer and guests can have photos taken with the Bond and Henchman at loggerheads!
Disco flooring. The Name Is Bond – Bond Tribute Band hired a responsive dance floor. As guests walked/rolled over the panels on the floor the image would change with explosions and fire around them.
Scalextric – for a charity event The Name Is Band – Bond Tribute Band hired in a Giant Scalextric set – the cars were all bond themed so guests could pick their favourite Bond car to drive around the set.
Fire-eaters, stilt-walkers, live gold statues are always a great addition and can be very interactive. It gives the feel of the Bond films Live and Let Die and GoldFinger and adds a little glamour too!
Looking for Bond/James Bond/Casino table decorations? Hire or buy large martini glasses and fill them with diamonds, flowers, feathers, candles or battery operated fairy lights.
Name your tables with the Bond film titles and give your guests themed name places with questions and quizzes on the name tags so that guests can keep the conversation going and test their knowledge! Why not offer a prize for the table who have the most correct answers?
You’ll possibly want a drinks reception – try a James bond themed ice sculptures – there are some great shapes in guns and girl statues that are filled with vodka shots .
Whilst guests are arriving consider a Lounge Band playing easy listening/jazz numbers to add a touch of class and atmosphere. The Name Is Band – Bond Tribute Band have excellent musicians who can adapt to any musical style and can perform a cocktail set as guests arrive.
Of course no James Bond themed event is complete without a fantastic live band. The Name Is Band – Bond Tribute Band is a 10-piece band who play James Bond Themes from the films. You can add our dancing girls or just have the band playing. Lively, impactive and certain to give you the WOW factor!
It doesn’t stop there! A further party set is added for later with the band playing non-stop hits from the 1960’s to today’s chart numbers there is something for every guest and we guarantee a packed floor! Tom Jones, Tina Turner, Amy Winehouse, Florence and the Machine, Adele, Sam & Dave, Blues Brothers, The Beatles and so many more…..
Want something more sophisticated? Change the party set to our cracking swing set with hits from Frank Sinatra, Louis Prima, Sammy Davis Junior, Dean Martin, Tony Bennett and so many more.
Hopefully the above will give you some inspiration. If you would like to get in touch to find out about the band we would love to hear from you!
