BAM Karaoke Box Madeleine hosts company evenings, team building, end-of-year parties, musical challenges and seminar days. Groups book one private room for 8 to 30 people, several rooms, or the whole venue for up to 125 guests. It is at 4 rue de Caumartin, in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, a short walk from the Olympia concert hall.
Seminars and company events
BAM sells three corporate formats. The company evening is a turnkey party with karaoke and a musical blind test in private rooms, with flexible hire of one room, several rooms or the full venue. The musical olympiads are a daytime format in which teams compete on blind tests, quizzes, karaoke battles and stage challenges, supervised by hosts, followed by a drink at the bar with access to the rooms until 6 p.m. The seminar format combines breakfast, a working session in a room with a screen, a projector and technical set-up, a buffet or cocktail lunch, and an optional karaoke session or afterwork. It runs as a morning, a half day or a full day.
Add-on activities listed for the Paris venues include karaoke battles, card reading, cocktail masterclasses, a gaming room, a drag show or drag bingo and a murder party. Packaged evenings combine two hours of karaoke and blind test with drinks and food. A corporate sales team prepares quotes and follows each event.
Rooms and capacities
The Madeleine venue has nine private rooms, each with its own decor:
- Les Cuivres, La Traversière and Les Coulisses: 8 people each.
- Les Partitions and Wall of Fame: 10 people each.
- Les Loges and Billard: 12 people each.
- Studio: 15 people.
- Les Oiseaux: 30 people, the largest room, with amphitheater banquettes on two levels, two screens and a decor mixing an enchanted garden with a disco dance floor. A space next to it can be set up as a dedicated bar.
The venue also has a cocktail bar and a terrace. Everything can be privatized, with a total capacity of 125 people. Rooms take bookings from 2 guests.
Catering
Food and drinks are ordered from the room or at the bar. The bar serves house cocktails, wine, beer and Champagne. For events, BAM offers breakfast, lunch, cocktail or buffet formats and sharing boards, and can arrange catering or a cooking workshop. Outside food and drink are not allowed, and rooms cannot be decorated by guests because each one is already fully designed. Under French law, open bars are not offered: drinks are budgeted in the quote.
