Create a true 1920s vibe with decorations, details and atmosphere
To create the authentic atmosphere that takes guests back to the roaring twenties and feather boas, decorations are crucial. The decorations should exude opulence, elegance and glamour - just like the 1920s party scene.
Gatsby decorations can consist of, for example:
- Gold, black and pearlescent colours throughout
- Feathers, beads and crystal elements
- Large art deco patterns
- Mirrors, candelabras and vintage glass
- Champagne towers and signage in classic 1920s typography
Think glitz, glamour and details that take your guests back to the heyday of jazz. Small details like gold napkins, black and white place cards or mirror menus can make a big difference and enhance the overall look.
Dress code: Gatsby clothing men & Gatsby clothing women
A Gatsby party is truly successful and complete when guests dress in the style of the era. The dress code is a big part of the vibe and it's also one of the things guests love to dive into.
Gatsby clothes for men
For men, it's all about sharp silhouettes and refined details.
- Tuxedo or dark suits
- Harnesses and bow ties
- Lacquered shoes
- Hair sleeked all the way back
- Optional hat or cane for extra 20’s style
It's masculine, elegant and completely in line with Great Gatsby Aesthetics.
Gatsby clothing for women
For women, Gatsby clothing is often more daring, playful and extravagant. Classic elements are:
- 20s-inspired dresses with fringe or beading
- Hairband with feathers and glitter
- Long gloves
- Beaded necklaces
- Smokey eyes and red lips
Many also opt for glamorous dresses in glitter or gold - perfect for the dance floor!
Activities and small details that add the finishing touch
A Great Gatsby themed party can be further elevated with little touches and attention to detail that make the experience whole and authentic:
- Casino or roulette table
- Gatsby-inspired cocktails (e.g. French 75, Sidecar and Gin Rickey)
- Champagne tower as the party centrepiece
- Serving classic ’20s snacks and canapés
These elements help create a party universe that feels complete, while giving your guests something to talk about long after the party.
The music to lift your Gatsby party - book through Limunt
Music is undoubtedly one of the most important factors in setting the right mood. No matter how well a party is decorated, it's the sound of jazz, blaring trumpet, and Charleston that creates the vibrant 1920s energy.
At Limunt, we specialise in providing jazz bands and musicians who master this particular style. Over the years, we have provided music for many Gatsby parties and large themed events and we know exactly how to adapt the music to the party, the venue and the atmosphere.
You can choose from:
- Jazz band for welcome and lounge atmosphere
- Swingband For dance and show
- Modern Gatsby setup with both classical instruments and modern beats - charleston or bossa nova
- Singer in 1920s style for extra elegance
- Extended crews with fans for the full Great Gatsby experience
Experience that gives you peace of mind
For many years, Limunt has provided music for large companies, hotels, private parties and exclusive events across the country. We have provided the music for many theme parties including several Great Gatsby party experiences, where our jazz musicians have created the authentic atmosphere that the hosts wanted.
Guests often say that the music was the highlight of the party. And that's exactly the experience we want to give all our customers.
At Limunt, we help you choose the right music setup, whether you're looking for a small jazz band for cocktails or a big swing ensemble for dancing and shows.

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!
