New York City Corporate Entertainment & Event Bands
Interactive live band entertainment for NYC corporate galas, conferences, and milestone celebrations. Your guests choose the music — from their phones.
Interactive Corporate Entertainment for the City That Never Sleeps
New York sets the standard for everything — and your corporate entertainment should be no exception. uRequest Live brings a completely new kind of live band experience to the NYC corporate event scene, one where your guests don't just watch the show — they run it.
Based in Toronto, we've built our reputation performing for Fortune 500 companies, international conferences, and high-profile galas across North America. Our proprietary platform lets every guest at your event request songs and vote on what the band plays next, all from their smartphones. No app download required. No awkward DJ requests. Just seamless, interactive entertainment that turns passive audiences into an electrified crowd.
For New York City events — where the bar for quality is relentlessly high — uRequest Live delivers the polish of a top-tier corporate band with the engagement of a tech-forward experience your guests have never seen before. Whether it's a Wall Street awards dinner, a Midtown product launch, or a Brooklyn rooftop holiday party, we bring equipment, musicians, and technology that match the energy of the greatest city in the world.
All Request Live
Your guests vote on what the live band plays next. Real-time democracy on the dance floor — the ultimate icebreaker for diverse corporate crowds.

Corporate Packages
End-to-end entertainment including emcee services, AV production, branded song lists, and custom event flow designed around your agenda.
Why New York City Events Need Interactive Entertainment
New York's corporate world is defined by diversity. Your company holiday party might include a 23-year-old developer from Bushwick and a 60-year-old managing director from the Upper East Side. Traditional bands pick a genre and hope for the best. uRequest Live lets everyone shape the soundtrack — and the data shows it works. Our events consistently see 85%+ audience participation rates, even at 1,000-person galas.
NYC audiences are also notoriously hard to impress. They've seen every DJ, every cover band, every jazz combo. What they haven't seen is a platform where the entire room collectively decides to make the band play "Mr. Brightside" at a black-tie gala — and the band absolutely nails it. That element of surprise and crowd ownership is what makes uRequest Live the talk of the afterparty.
The business case is clear too. Event planners tell us that interactive entertainment drives measurably higher engagement, longer guest retention, and more organic social media posts than any other entertainment format. In a city where your event competes with literally everything else happening that night, you need entertainment that gives people a reason to stay.
