Aerial Entertainment for Extraordinary Events
Breathtaking aerial artistry for corporate events, galas, weddings, brand activations and luxury celebrations in New York City and beyond.
Elevate the Experience
Transform the space above your guests
Aerial entertainment creates an unforgettable visual centerpiece. From a dramatic choreographed act to elegant ambient movement performed throughout the evening, each experience can be tailored to the scale, style and energy of your event.
Allison Schieler Entertainment can provide traditional rigged aerial performances, freestanding aerial options for venues without ceiling rigging, aerial champagne service and complete multi-performer productions.
Aerial Lyra
Aerial lyra, also known as aerial hoop, combines strength, elegant lines and dynamic movement inside a suspended metal apparatus. The result is a striking performance that draws the eye upward and gives the entire room a sense of spectacle.
Lyra can be presented as a choreographed feature act set to music or as ambient entertainment performed in rotating sets while guests arrive, mingle or enjoy cocktails.
Lollipop Lyra
Lollipop lyra brings the beauty of aerial hoop to venues that do not have an approved overhead rigging point. The hoop is mounted on a freestanding stage apparatus, creating a dramatic focal point without attaching equipment to the ceiling.
This versatile option works especially well in ballrooms, lofts, event spaces, galleries and brand activations where traditional aerial rigging is not available.
Aerial Champagne Service
Turn beverage service into an entertainment experience. An aerial performer serves champagne from an elevated apparatus while guests gather below, creating a memorable photo opportunity and an elegant, interactive welcome.
Aerial champagne service is particularly effective during cocktail hour, guest arrival, VIP receptions and branded hospitality moments. Styling, costuming and presentation can be customized to complement the event.
Ambient
Aerial
Ambient Aerial Entertainment
Ambient aerial performance becomes part of the atmosphere rather than interrupting the event with a formal show. Performers appear in scheduled sets, creating movement and visual interest above the room while guests continue dining, networking or celebrating.
Depending on the venue and production, ambient aerial entertainment may include aerial hoop, silks, hammock, trapeze or other specialty apparatus. The final apparatus selection is based on rigging, clearance, performance goals and the visual direction of the event.
Aerial Entertainment FAQ
Planning your aerial performance
Does aerial entertainment require ceiling rigging?
Traditional suspended aerial apparatus requires an approved overhead rigging point. Lollipop lyra is a freestanding alternative that can bring an aerial-style performance to many venues without ceiling rigging.
How much ceiling height is needed?
The required height varies by apparatus and performance. Ceiling clearance, floor space, rigging access and the surrounding guest area must all be reviewed before confirming the setup.
Can aerialists perform during cocktail hour?
Yes. Ambient aerial sets and aerial champagne service work especially well during guest arrival and cocktail hour. Performers can appear in timed rotations so the entertainment remains fresh throughout the event.
Can the aerial performance be customized?
Yes. Music, costuming, apparatus, performance length, number of artists and overall presentation can be developed around the event's concept, audience and production needs.
Can you provide more than one aerialist?
Yes. Allison Schieler Entertainment can coordinate solo aerialists, duo acts and larger ensembles, as well as complete productions that combine aerial performers with contortionists, dancers and specialty acts.
Do you provide aerial entertainment outside New York City?
Yes. Performers and productions can travel depending on the event, venue requirements, schedule and production scope.
