Roaring 20s Speakeasy Jazz for a Corporate Holiday Party at the Central Park NYC Loeb Boat House
Review: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
“As a corporate event planner I work with many bands - Svetlana one of the best I have ever worked with - Professional, very quick to respond, managed multiple requests from my agency and the venue, and very low maintenance. The event was a "Speakeasy" / "Roaring 20s" themed holiday party for my client - held at a posh iconic NYC location that has seen the highest level of talent - and Svetlana did not disappoint! Their attire, vibe, and music was all very classy and just right for the occasion. The crowd loved them and they really took our "Speakeasy" themed holiday event to the next level and added just the right flair to this high profile corporate event.”
Svetlana and the Delancey Five were invited to provide musical entertainment for a holiday party at the Historic Central Park Loeb Boathouse in New York City. Loeb Boathouse is a legendary NYC venue that appeared in dozens of iconic movies about NYC and is a venue used in the most exclusive events.
We were approached by an exclusive national corporate and private event agency to provide Speakeasy like environment for this Roaring 20s party based on our reputation as one of the premier roaring 20s Great Gatsby New York (NYC) bands - especially so based on our weekly residency at the Back Room NYC.
Back Room is where we've played our weekly roaring 20s vintage jazz concerts every Monday since 2012. The front of the speakeasy is the Lower East Side Toy Company, on Norfolk Street between Delancey and Rivington. Not everything in NYC is as it appears, though, and this serves as a ‘fake front’ for the Backroom Bar, a contemporary NYC speakeasy with roots that date back to Prohibition. Back Room had a real business operating in conjunction with the speakeasy during the Prohibition era - Ratner’s restaurant, another Lower East Side institution that opened up in 1908 and moved to Delancey Street just before the Volstead Act took effect. Just watch this video to get the idea of the kind of fun we are having at the Back Room!
Thanks to this authentic atmosphere, many upscale companies choose Loeb Boathouse to host their special events and holiday parties - and when they are looking for musical entertainment NYC agencies and clients are often choosing the Delancey Five to play at the event!
On that night of the holiday party we played, the theme of the evening was Roaring 20s. Both the guests and the band were decked out in their vintage best, and the band was invited to add its elegant upbeat music to enhance the authentic New York vintage mood of the event. The guests loved our upbeat swing music and vintage jazz selections - everyone was dressed the part and enjoyed the music on the dance floor and off.
Contact Svetlana to plan your next event with vintage and classic jazz music. Whether an intimate jazz trio, a larger swing band or even a full size big band, we bring classy, Old New York to every special event. You won't be able to get your guests off the dance floor!
