Corporate Event Entertainment New York — Interactive Shows, Live Bands & Game Shows
New York & New Jersey Entertainment PartnerNew York audiences don't clap for mediocre. When 400 J&J executives are choosing songs from their phones and the band is nailing every request live — that's when the room ignites. Toronto-based. 1 hour from NYC. Fortune 500-proven.
Because impressing New York takes more than a playlist
Fortune 500 Tested
We performed for Johnson & Johnson at their New Jersey headquarters. When a company that size trusts you with their stage, it speaks louder than any sales pitch. Our entertainment is built for audiences who expect perfection and have zero patience for filler.
NYC-Proof Entertainment
New Yorkers have seen every cover band and every DJ. Our interactive technology — where every guest controls the show from their phone — cuts through the noise. It turns passive audiences into active participants, and it works every single time.
Toronto to Manhattan in 1 Hour
Direct flights from Toronto Pearson to JFK, Newark, and LaGuardia — all under 90 minutes. No complicated international coordination, no customs headaches for equipment. We arrive with everything: band, gear, production, and a team that has done this hundreds of times.
Full Production, One Team
No juggling three vendors and a sound company. We bring the entertainment, the production, the tech, and the stage management — one contract, one point of contact, one team that owns the outcome. Your event planner coordinates with us, not five separate companies.
Interactive, high-energy, and impossible to ignore
uRequest Live — All-Request Band
Every guest picks songs from their phone. The band plays them live — flawlessly. It is not karaoke and it is not a DJ with a setlist. It is a full concert experience where the audience is the curator. In a city where people leave bad shows mid-set, uRequest Live keeps the floor packed until the last note.
Majority Rules — Interactive Game Show
A live game show where the entire audience votes from their phones. Think "Family Feud meets TED Talk" — sharp, fast, and competitive. Perfect for Wall Street holiday parties, product launches, and conferences where you need 500 people engaged simultaneously. New York energy meets interactive technology.
Nemesis Duo — Beatbox & Violin
A beatboxer and a violinist who turn cocktail hour into a performance people actually watch. Sophisticated enough for a Cipriani reception, energetic enough for a Chelsea Piers after-party. This act has stopped conversations at Fortune 500 events — in the best possible way.
Chris Turner — Freestyle Rapper
As seen on America's Got Talent. Chris turns audience suggestions into jaw-dropping freestyle raps in real time — quick wit, razor-sharp wordplay, and the kind of off-the-dome moment your guests will quote on the way out. Perfect as a keynote opener, an awards-show twist, or the wow-factor act between courses.
Custom Live Entertainment
Beyond plug-and-play acts. We design and deliver custom live entertainment built around your brand, your audience, and your venue — bespoke bands, themed shows, signature musical moments, and one-off productions that make your event unmistakably yours.

Johnson & Johnson — NJ Headquarters
We performed for J&J executives at their New Jersey corporate campus — our anchor reference in the tri-state area. This is the kind of client and venue that demands flawless execution with zero margin for error.
Cipriani Wall Street
One of Manhattan's most iconic event spaces with soaring columns and impeccable acoustics. The kind of room where your entertainment needs to match the architecture — and our production team knows how to fill it.
The Plaza Hotel
The gold standard of New York event venues. From the Grand Ballroom to the Terrace Room, we bring entertainment calibrated for The Plaza's legendary atmosphere and discerning clientele.
Javits Convention Center
New York's premier convention space for large-scale conferences, trade shows, and corporate exhibitions. Our team is experienced with convention-scale production, union requirements, and multi-day event logistics.
Chelsea Piers & Pier Sixty
Waterfront venues with panoramic Hudson River views. Ideal for galas, holiday parties, and product launches where the backdrop is as impressive as the entertainment. Our sound design accounts for the unique acoustics of pier venues.
The Edison Ballroom & Gotham Hall
Historic Midtown venues with dramatic architecture and built-in grandeur. These rooms demand entertainment with polish and presence — exactly what our interactive shows and live band deliver.

What types of corporate events do you handle in NYC and New Jersey?
We provide entertainment for Fortune 500 galas, Wall Street firm celebrations, product launches, fashion week events, holiday parties, team building experiences, conferences, awards ceremonies, and executive retreats throughout the New York metro area.

How far in advance should I book entertainment for a New York event?
We recommend booking 4 to 8 months in advance for New York and New Jersey events. NYC is one of the most competitive event markets in the world, and our calendar fills quickly for peak periods including the holiday season (October through December), spring gala season, and major industry conference dates. For high-profile Fortune 500 events, booking 6 to 12 months ahead is ideal to ensure availability and allow time for custom show design.
What makes Fusion Events different from New York entertainment companies?
Our interactive technology-driven entertainment stands out in a city that has seen everything. uRequest Live lets every guest request songs from their phone while a world-class band performs them live — it is not a DJ, not a cover band, but a fully interactive concert experience. Combined with our game shows, beatbox-violin duo, and graphic recording artists, we offer a level of audience engagement that traditional NYC entertainment vendors simply do not provide. Fortune 500 companies book us specifically because we make jaded audiences participate.
Can you coordinate with our New York event planner or venue team?
Absolutely. We work directly with your event planner, venue coordinator, and AV team to ensure seamless integration. Our production manager handles all advance logistics including technical riders, floor plans, power requirements, and load-in scheduling. We have experience navigating the specific requirements of NYC venues — from freight elevator scheduling at Midtown hotels to union labor coordination at convention centers — so your planning team can focus on the bigger picture.
