Hint: It's Music Psychology

What Makes a Corporate Gala Soar!

How do you engineer moments of delight at your gala that make it uniquely yours? Levity should not be discounted — a gala is a party, after all.

Studies revealed that organizers emphasized the importance of making their event memorable through fun, whether that’s a notable performance or a menu curated by a celebrity chef. For some, the focus is on their space. Particularly for large institutions who host their galas on-site with a grand entry hall, or in a museum after hours. We would add one more suggestion: use your gala to connect with your patrons on an emotional level, through music.

Music has a profound effect on mood, and psychological researchers aren’t the only ones who understand this.

According to 2013 research in the journal Frontiers of Psychology, mood regulation is one of the most important reasons that people say they listen to music.

The music at a conference for young professionals should be different than the playlist for a meeting of seasoned industry executives. The younger group will appreciate current mainstream hits, and possibly even independent music. But if your attendees are mostly over age 50, they may prefer music by The Beatles and Creedence Clearwater Revival. Feel confident that your next event will be planned properly with the help of The Good DJ. We will work with you in coordinating your occasion so that your guests stay engaged, organized, and entertained.

How do you select music?

1) Research and consider your audience
2) Pick music that resonates with your location
3) Be sure to consider what moods you want to evoke with music at different stages of the event

Should I have LIVE music at a corporate event?

Consider your budget first. Live music is more expensive and impactful, but often has a narrower range of options than recorded music or a DJ. Consider working in a mix of live and recorded music to reap the benefits of both!
