About these Christmas Bands

The entertainment for a Christmas party is often a hot debate between party guests for weeks before the big date. If chosen wisely, everyone will be talking about your party and how great the entertainment was. If you choose badly, people will still be talking, but it won’t reflect well on the party!

One of the best tips when booking entertainment for your Christmas party is not to leave it too late! Many bands begin to receive enquires regarding Christmas gigs as early as April so start exploring for your perfect Christmas band sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment. It’s also very important to think carefully about what you’re aiming to achieve with the entertainment for your Christmas party. Will the entertainment have more of a background setting whilst your guests enjoy drinks and converse with each other? Or do you want your guests to be able to let their hair down and dance the night away? You might find that a simple, yet effective jazz trio or a string quartet could work for background music. If you’re looking for the latter, you’ll find that professional party bands are great at getting guests to dance and have fun!

A Christmas band is the perfect entertainment for an office Christmas party, a winter wedding or simply a great family Christmas party! Christmas party bands, often have a varied set list of Christmas classics such as hit No.1s and Christmas carols, so when booking your Christmas band, make sure you’re conscious of their repertoire. This way you know there will be songs that suit all the guests attending and that your favourite Christmas songs will be played!

Booking musicians for the festive period - things to remember!

Like most professionals, if musicians are required to play on special dates like new years eve or Christmas eve then they will probably expect to be paid a little bit more. You can expect about a 20% rise in the normal booking price for a typical band, however, each individual performer or service provider has different costs etc. so the best thing to do is make a formal enquiry about he bands availability and price. Christmas Party Band - As with any event... always make sure that the artist you are interested in is suitable for your event. Try to listen to samples of them playing live and watch their youtube videos. Good luck in finding the best entertainment for your party!

How to plan your Christmas party entertainment…

Christmas party entertainment is a lot harder to organise than you first think!

While some people are happy with drunken renditions of “Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer”, others would cringe! If you are determined to adopt the task of organising your party entertainment yourself, be sure to consider all the options available before making your decision. Think about the guests that will be attending your event. Do you want to create a sophisticated atmosphere, or is your Christmas party a more informal affair?
