Office Opening Entertainment
3 November 2025
When opening a new office, the challenge goes beyond logistics and design; it’s about creating a space where your team feels welcomed, valued, and excited to be part of something new. The first impressions of a workplace can have a lasting impact on employee morale and engagement, making it essential to foster a sense of belonging right from the start. One of the most effective ways to achieve this is by hosting a thoughtfully planned opening celebration, complete with office opening entertainment that engages your team and sets a positive, memorable tone for the new space.
An office opening event isn’t just a formality; it’s an opportunity to introduce your team to their new environment, showcase the culture of your company, and ignite a sense of excitement about the future. Incorporating engaging office opening entertainment can transform the event from a simple gathering into a memorable experience that encourages connection, collaboration, and even a bit of fun. Whether it’s interactive games, live performances, or team-building activities, entertainment sets the tone for this new chapter, helping employees feel at ease in their surroundings while reinforcing the values and energy of your business.
Let’s explore the office opening entertainment AOK Entertains can offer.
Glambot
Give your guests the ultimate red carpet experience by welcoming them with a Glambot at your office entrance. Unlike a standard photo booth, a Glambot brings a touch of Hollywood-style glamour, instantly making your guests feel like VIPs.
Photo booths are fantastic for capturing candid moments and creating fun memories, but a Glambot takes it to the next level. Using a high-speed camera, it records footage at several hundred frames per second or more, producing stunning slow-motion videos that highlight every detail, from laughter and confetti to dramatic poses and playful gestures. The result is a dynamic, cinematic keepsake that your team and visitors will treasure long after the event.
Custom Colour by Numbers Activity
Engage your guests in a fun, interactive way while capturing their first impressions with a custom collaborative colour-by-numbers artwork. This activity isn’t just a creative icebreaker; it’s an opportunity to translate your company’s values, mission, or even your new office space into a shared artistic experience that gets everyone excited about this next chapter.
Each panel of the artwork is carefully numbered to correspond with a specific colour, making it simple for everyone to pick up a pen, brush, or marker and contribute, regardless of artistic skill. As your team and visitors fill in the colours, the piece gradually comes to life, symbolising collaboration, unity, and the collective effort that drives your company forward.
Beyond being a fun activity, the finished artwork becomes a meaningful keepsake for your office, serving as a visual reminder of teamwork, creativity, and the shared excitement that marked the opening of your new space. It’s a memorable way to make guests feel included, spark conversations, and leave a lasting impression that embodies the spirit of your organisation.
Magician Sonia
Add a touch of wonder to your event with the enchanting presence of our roaming magician, Sonia. An interactive entertainer of this calibre doesn’t just perform tricks; she warms up the crowd, sparks curiosity, and keeps guests engaged from the moment she arrives.
Sonia’s journey is as magical as her performances. Originally from Spain, she moved to London at just nineteen to pursue her performing dreams, without speaking a word of English. Her determination and passion for the arts quickly set her apart. With a diverse skill set that spans hip-hop and commercial dance, she has shared stages with international icons such as Rihanna, Pharrell Williams, and Jack Jones, blending precision, style, and storytelling into every movement.
What makes Sonia truly unique is her signature approach to magic, which often integrates movement, choreography, and theatricality. This innovative style has made her highly sought after in the world of brand activations, where she has consulted and performed for major campaigns with Samsung, Adidas, Rimmel London, Nespresso, Voxi, Sky Glass, and more. Her performances aren’t just tricks; they’re immersive experiences that leave a lasting impression on audiences.
Recognised as a rising star, Sonia is redefining the art of magic for future generations. Her talent and influence earned her a spot on One Ahead’s “Ones to Watch: 2022,” highlighting her as a performer who is shaping the future of interactive entertainment. Bringing Sonia to your event ensures a memorable, engaging, and truly magical experience that your guests won’t soon forget.
Roaming Acts
Roaming performers are a fantastic way to keep your event vibrant, engaging, and full of energy. Beyond adding visual excitement, these performers can assist with way-finding, helping guests navigate the space while naturally encouraging interaction and conversation. Their presence ensures your event feels dynamic from start to finish, leaving a lasting impression on attendees.
Showgirls: Our elegant showgirls are available to welcome your guests as they arrive, creating a glamorous first impression. Throughout the event, they mingle with the crowd, engaging guests with their charm and flair. Their striking costumes and presence also provide a perfect photo opportunity, allowing attendees to capture fun and memorable moments.
Mirror Ball Heads: For a truly unique and slightly surreal touch, our Mirror Ball Head performers bring disco-inspired energy to your event. These eye-catching characters are a bold, playful take on the classic walkabout act, making them ideal for corporate events, product launches, or any celebration that calls for a wow factor. Their mirrored heads catch the light in dazzling ways, sparking conversations and encouraging guests to interact, dance, and immerse themselves in the party atmosphere.
With roaming performers like these, your event becomes more than just a gathering; it transforms into an immersive experience that delights, entertains, and keeps guests engaged at every turn.
Speed Painter
Our speed painter brings a captivating focal point to any event, as guests are mesmerised watching him transform a blank canvas into a stunning, bespoke painting in real time. This isn’t just art, it’s performance, blending creativity, skill, and showmanship to create a truly memorable experience for everyone in attendance.
Our artist is renowned for painting as a live performance, and you may have seen him showcasing his talent on national television, including Britain’s Got Talent, BBC Breakfast, Blue Peter, and This Morning. His high-energy performances turn each brushstroke into a moment of suspense and excitement, keeping guests engaged from start to finish.
Performance painting has taken him far and wide, from creating live portraits for A-list celebrities like Robert De Niro and Lewis Hamilton, to touring internationally with notable stops in the USA and Canada. Beyond entertainment, he has also used his artistry to make a real-world impact, helping raise over £400,000 for charity through live painting events.
Corporate clients recognise the value of his unique talent as well. Brands such as Nike, Mercedes, Bentley, and ITV have all harnessed his performance art to enhance their events, leaving guests inspired and engaged. Bringing our speed painter to your event ensures a one-of-a-kind experience, combining visual spectacle, interactive entertainment, and the thrill of witnessing art created before your very eyes.
