An employee party is more than just a cosy evening together. It's an opportunity to build and strengthen community, create good relationships across departments and give employees an experience they can talk about at the lunch table. Music plays a crucial role in creating the right atmosphere, and at Limunt we help companies across the country with professional employee party music that lifts the mood and gives the party a strong impression.
Why choose live music for your employee party?
Live music brings energy, presence and connection. Musicians can adapt the repertoire on the fly, read the audience and create a great experience that makes all the difference. Many companies report that music is the factor that creates the setting for colleagues to enjoy themselves and create shared memories.
Music for corporate events creates:
- A vibrant and energetic atmosphere from the first note
- Cohesion and shared experiences among employees
- Variation throughout the evening to get both the quiet start and the wild party right
- An experience that feels professional and thoughtful
What music fits best?
The right music solution depends on your company culture, the type of party and how much energy you want to put in the room. Some choose a DJ for an employee party, others prefer live music such as party bands for the corporate event, and many combine both to get the best of both worlds.
Music during dinner
When employees arrive, the atmosphere needs to be built up quietly and calmly. This is where background music can make a big difference. An acoustic guitarist, a pianist or a duo creates a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere where there is still room for good conversation.
Great music solutions for dinner:
- Solo artist with piano or guitar
- An atmospheric duo with vocals
- Light acoustic music as elegant background
This is where relationships are formed and spirits are lifted before the party really gets going.
Music for dancing and partying
Once dinner is over, it's time to turn up the energy. Having musicians or a DJ to fill the dance floor and keep the party going all night is crucial.
Popular solutions for the dance floor:
- A party band with well-known hits from several decades
- A DJ mixing both new and classic tracks
- A combination of live music and DJ for maximum variety
The music should be catchy and broad so that both young and experienced employees can dance along.
Popular music genres for the employee party
At employee parties, we see time and time again what works. Genres like pop, funk, soul, rock and dance-friendly classics always create high energy. Many companies opt for a mix to keep the party dynamic.
Examples of tracks that work well on the dance floor:
- I Wanna Dance with Somebody by Whitney Houston
- Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars
- Don't Stop Me Now by Queen
- Blinding Lights by The Weeknd
- September by Earth, Wind & Fire
These songs have a wide appeal and ensure a dance floor that never stands still.
Duo, trio or band
The choice of setup depends on the size of the room and the look you want.
A duo gives a cosy and relaxed look
A trio creates more body and energy
A band provides the full concert experience and a constantly moving dance floor
For larger companies and corporate events, we often recommend a band, while smaller events can benefit from a trio or duo.
Background music or dance floor: What should you choose
Some events only require quiet background music. Others need a party atmosphere throughout the evening. Many choose a combination to ensure a natural progression of the party.
Background music works well for receptions, award shows, conferences and dinners. Dance music is ideal for summer parties, Christmas parties and kick-off events.
What determines the price of music for employee parties
The price depends on several factors such as number of musicians, equipment, transport and how long you want music. We always provide a clear and transparent price so you know exactly what you're getting.

The most frequently asked questions for us!
The name Limunt originated as a contraction of the words Tove Music Entertainment. We have booked music since 2016 through the concepts Jazzkollektivet, Popkollektivet, Strygerkollektivet etc., but decided in 2022 to bring the activity under Limunt and create a better coherence and clarity of our many different offers.
We handpick our musicians from the great Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and German talent pool. In the administration, we all have a background as professional musicians in a wide range of genres. Through our large network, the Danish conservatories, jam sessions throughout the country and by constantly keeping a finger on the pulse of the Danish music scene, we can ensure a high level every time. We make a virtue of onboarding each individual musician so that expectations are aligned from the start. The musicians should do what they do best: play great music - then Limunt handles all the administration around each performance.
Payment will fall after your event. You will receive an invoice from our administration.
In most cases, it is possible to extend the playing time if you do not want the music to stop at the agreed time. However, as we only book professional musicians, there may be circumstances where this is not possible, for example if the musicians have another job later in the day, have an early job the next day or a voice that can't cope any longer. If you want to make sure you have the option to book an extra set of music on the day, we recommend that you arrange this with your Limunt contact so that both you and the musicians are aware of the option.
The prices we quote are in most cases inclusive of transport (to land bridges), VAT and engineering (up to 100 people).
We customise each specific offer - booking everything from a single solo musician playing a single song to live music over several days for larger events. Try our price calculator or contact us for a no-obligation quote.
We provide substitutes in case of illness, so you don't lose the music for your event. We have built up good procedures with our many musicians and have an action plan in case of illness. Our large catalogue of musicians means that in almost all cases we can find a talented replacement in a very short time.
It's hard to give a clear answer, as we book solo musicians, traditional party bands and full orchestras of 9-10 people. A traditional band of 3-5 people should have at least 3×4 meters to stand on. A solo musician can manage on 3×2 meters. However, there are many factors that come into play when it comes to space - so it's best to have a chat with your Limunt contact. A concrete example where the above rule does not quite apply is when booking a party band: here we at Limunt always recommend placing the music in the same room as the bar, as this way you gather the activity and the party in one place - and get more people on the dance floor! If there are not quite 3×4 meters to stand on, we still recommend placing the band at the bar, even if the musicians need to sit a little close, to ensure the good party!
Typically in sets of either 2 x 45 minutes or 3 x 45 minutes. But it all depends on the function of the music: whether it's background music, a beautiful feature or party music to get the party started. We provide everything from a single heartfelt song for the wedding to music for 10 hours during a larger event.
You are always welcome to make suggestions for the repertoire - that way we get to know your taste and try to include everything possible. However, we cannot guarantee to fulfil all your wishes. We are often in dialogue with customers who are very unsure about the repertoire - and we are here to help. By booking more than 500 jobs annually, we know what works for different events. Our professional musicians are also good at reading the audience on the day, which means that changes can be made to the setlist during the performance.
When booking an event with 1-3 songs for e.g. a wedding, we take a dialogue about what is possible - and in most cases we can meet your wishes.
The jazz concept Jazzkollektivet was what started it all in 2016. Then followed Popkollektivet, Strygerkollektivet etc. In 2022 we decided to bring all our concepts and booking together on this new site!
