What is a Gatsby theme?

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

  • Step 1

    Hosts or hostesses to greet guests at the door

  • Step 2

    Stilt walkers or champagne walkers during the drinks reception

  • Step 3

    A jazz singer or band through drinks and dinner

  • Step 4

    A giant champagne glass show as the headline moment

  • Step 5

    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

    Teach the Charleston

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

  3. 3

    Keep the music in period

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