Live bands & music

Piano accompaniment for a dinner for two? A string quartet to serenade your guests? Or a barnstorming ceilidh band to blow the doors off?

Music sets the mood for any event, and we’ll make sure you get the mood just right.

speakers

It might be moving. It might be motivating. Or it might just make you think.

If you want a special speaker to set a special tone, our roster of talent is second to none.

Mix & Mingle

When you want to get to know your colleagues, your competitors or your clients, you need the appropriate ambience — chilled out and conducive to conversation.

We’ll suggest some ambient entertainment so you get the most out of the people who matter.

Stage Acts

Beautiful, breathtaking or flat-out bizarre: we know how a good stage act can bring an evening to life.

Whether you want an easy-going warm-up act or a show-stopping set piece, we offer entertainers who’ll help your event take flight.

Stand Up Comedy

Nothing brings people together like laughter. From the wryly amusing to the truly surreal, comedy is the perfect way to ensure that everyone has a good time.

And when it comes to the funny folk, we’ve got the best in breed.

Sarah and her team have proved invaluable to the organisation of our flagship event held in London. We partner with leading physicians from across the world to bring the latest thinking in cardiology to the participants, who come from many countries. This requires a team that operates to a high standard and can offer an experience that all involved remember. A foundation of this is the attention to detail, and a drive to get it right – mostly hidden from all when working well, but very obvious if not done. I have no hesitation to recommend Sarah and her team if you have an event you wish to deliver a the highest standards. The Optima team sends all our thanks to them.

Maximillion was great! They were responsive and accommodating and we would definitely use them again.

I could not be happier with how the event was organised in the months preceding the event and how it was managed on the days. Sarah and her team were both efficient and delightful to work with. I also had positive feedback from my co-host colleagues and a large number of delegates. I am in fact already in dealings with Maximillion again, in preparation of a new international meeting. I highly recommend Maximillion and Sarah Esslemont for leading and organising meeting.

Mr Nicola de Liguori Carino, MD

Your team on the night for installation were on time, super efficient and gave clear guidance on usage of the games and when I called to say we’d finished early – returned quickly and dismantled with the same efficiency.

Natwest

Like many other professional service providers, we are often metaphorically ‘spinning plates’ and ‘juggling’ competing priorities, so it was great for our team to try these challenges in real life. We discovered hidden talents and it reinforced that working as a team and providing a supportive learning environment are key to delivering an excellent result. Thank you to Maximillion for your support and encouragement during this fun event, as well as for your professionalism in pulling together a slick activity for 220 people.

Lee Hamill, Director of Finance

I received emails from the participants saying how much they enjoyed the event. Our HR manager stated he would use Maximillion again. Many thanks for all your effort.

TAQA Britani Ltd

With restrictions in place that curtailed our previous plans for the company’s 50th anniversary we were delighted to find a great alternative and a team well-equipped to deliver an event for such a significant milestone. The Maximillion team worked closely with us, making suggestions and sharing ideas to help make our virtual away day celebrations a real occasion. The feedback from the events was really positive and it was great to have a chance to get together in such a fun environment when all the teams have been working so hard over the past months.

Nadia Rae, Group HR Director

Everyone had a really good time and loved all the different levels and variety that Level-Up brought. Maximillion always provide an excellent event and guide you through the organising process with clarity, confidence and advice.

Davidson Chalmers Stewart

We thought the event was organised and ran extremely well. All of our staff had a fantastic time, great fun! Would recommend Maximillion.

Meraki Talent

Mike and his team did a fantastic job on the run up to and on event day. With the quick turnaround of plans, there was clear communication before, during and after the event. Thank you to Mike and the Maximillion team!
