Gatsby party in Copenhagen - Inspiration!
Theme: Christmas party, tips & tricks
Organising this year's Gatsby party in Copenhagen is not just about glittering dresses and feather boas. It's about creating an unforgettable evening where the atmosphere of 1920s glamour merges with modern party experiences. Music plays a key role in making guests feel like they're stepping into a bygone era with jazz, swing and elegant dance moves. At Limunt, we help you plan and book live music, jazz band or DJ so that your theme party feels complete, streamlined and full of energy from the first number to the last.
What makes a Gatsby party special?
A Gatsby party in Copenhagen is about more than costumes. Imagine guests in 1920s outfits, champagne in glasses and dim lighting that plays with the glamour of gold and pearls. Music ties it all together - from the quiet welcome where guests can mingle, to the dinner with elegant jazz tones, and on to the dance floor where swing and Charleston fill the room with energy. A successful party leaves room for both conversation and celebration, and creates memories that will be talked about for years to come.
Gatsby party music: jazz, swing and DJ
When guests arrive, it's jazz duo or trio that sets the tone. They play lively but low-key tunes that are perfect for cocktails and mingling. There's something special about live music that makes the room feel alive and exclusive.
As dinner gets underway, the music can take a step back without losing its charm. Lounge music and swing classics create a cosy background where conversation flows naturally. Crooner vibes and modern interpretations of 20s tracks give the party a touch of authentic glamour without feeling old-fashioned.
Later in the evening, the dance floor opens up. This is where a bigger swing band or DJ can take over, lift the energy and get everyone moving. The DJ can build on the vibe of the live music and ensure the party keeps the momentum going until the last set.
Entertainment that brings the party together
Short interludes, speeches or small speakeasy performances can provide breaks in the music and bring guests together. When placed correctly in the programme, they become part of the experience rather than an interruption.
A programme that works
To create a natural flow, the evening can be split up like this:
- Arrival and welcome with jazz duo or trio
- Dinner with lounge music and low-key swing
- Short speeches or speeches, elegantly integrated
- Opening the dance floor with a major jazz or swing band
- DJ takes over and keeps the party going until late
This way, the music feels like a natural part of the evening and the energy builds in a way that gives guests a complete experience.

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!
