Why 1920s Corporate Parties Are the Bee’s Knees

Looking to impress your clients, reward your team, or make your next corporate event unforgettable? Step into the Roaring Twenties with a 1920s-themed corporate party — a timeless blend of glamour, fun, and pure vintage charm.

The Allure of the Jazz Age

The 1920s were all about celebration: swinging jazz, champagne towers, flapper fashion, and dance floors packed with the Charleston. Recreating this spirit gives your guests an exciting escape from the ordinary — and a night they’ll talk about all year.

Live 1920s Jazz: The Ultimate Crowd-Pleaser

Nothing sets the tone like live jazz. Booking a vintage performer like Greg Poppleton — Australia’s only authentic 1920s–30s swing singer — instantly brings your event to life. With period-perfect vocals, tailored sets, and old-school charm, Greg and his band deliver a unique entertainment experience your guests will love.

Interactive Fun: Dancing & Dress-Up

Want your guests truly engaged? Encourage 1920s attire and hire a swing dance instructor to get the room moving with easy, upbeat steps like the Charleston or Lindy Hop. Add a vintage photo booth with props like feather boas, suspenders, and fedoras for Instagram-worthy moments.

Theming It Right: Decor, Cocktails & Atmosphere

From speakeasy-style lounges to Gatsby-style elegance, a 1920s party can go in many directions. Use gold, black, and art deco accents. Serve classic cocktails — the Sidecar, French 75, and Bee’s Knees are always a hit. Finish the vibe with candlelight, jazz posters, and a touch of mystery. Speaking of which, Greg Poppleton's swing and jazz also adds to 1920s murder mysteries hosted by your choice of Murder Mystery Fun or The Murder Master.

Why It Works for Corporate Events

A 1920s party is ideal for client entertainment, EOFY celebrations, product launches, or Christmas functions. It's classy, inclusive, and effortlessly fun — giving your guests a full sensory experience and a chance to let loose while still feeling like part of something special.
