5 Ways to WOW Guests at Holiday Parties
The holiday season is quickly approaching and there is no shortage of big events that go along with the changing of the seasons. One question most event planners have is how to top last years festivities. ABCey will introduce 5 ways to wow guests with unique entertainment that will make this years events ones they won’t forget!
1. DJ Mixing Battle
What is a good party with out an awesome DJ? Make sure your music is on point with not just one but two killer DJ’s sounding off and video mixing to see who can get the crowds energy going all night long. Check out your local DJ’s and get the party started!
2. Hire a Mixologist
If the saying is drink and be merry we can think of no better way then to have hand crafted custom cocktails made by a pro. Hiring a mixologist to bartend creates a unique guest experience with a special curated cocktail list tailored specifically for your event as well as an artfully poured drink creation to watch. The SF based Bartender 415 has fun holiday themed beverages like Rudolph’s Revenge, Santa Baby, and the Christmas Cosmo… we’ll take 3 please!
3. ‘Gif’ Photobooth
Gifs seem to capture a moments emotion in the the most simple of ways, stop motion frames that say it all. When played over repetitively hilarity ensues. Become a part of the social media phenom by getting a Gif photobooth for your holiday party! We love how the open air photobooth Tomfoolery can create custom props and backdrops to make your event look perfect!
4. Live Performance Troupe
If your event is looking for something with an avant-garde vibe and the venue is sizable then a live performance troupe might be just the thing your holiday event needs! Whether you are looking for roaming elves, aerial performers or roaming characters to interact with guests, hiring a troupe designed for entertainment is sure to make guests be in awe.
5. Digital Caricatures
It’s the old event staple you know and love except redesigned for the millennials. Provide digital caricature drawings from an ipad artist that capture guests in a personalized self-portrait. These ipad portraits can be instantaneously downloaded, shared and saved faster that Santa can deliver presents, take that Rudolph.
Which ones of these unique options would be the most fun if you were attending a holiday event? Let us know in the comments or find us on twitter and facebook!
3 Music Apps to Turn Up the Beat at Your Event
Playing DJ can be hard. Let ABCey help you out with three recommendations for music apps to keep the tunes going at your next party! If your corporate event has a low budget and you have to cut costs on hiring a DJ, these could also come in handy! Our favorite is Spotify because of usability and number of options!
1. Spotify
Spotify is the new spin on Pandora. With live streaming of almost any artist you can think of, you can have it all. If you don’t want to make up your own playlist, you can browse the thousands that are pre-created for you! This is perfect for a last minute get together or if you want to find music based on your mood!
2. 8 Tracks
8 Tracks is also an online streaming platform. Users can create a free account and either listen to top tracks or make their own. Each playlist must consist of at least 8 tracks giving this fun app its name.
3. Soundcloud
Unlike the other two apps listed above, Soundcloud caters to lesser known artists. Artists and producers can promote their music on Soundcloud and share it with other users! And, it’s free!
With so many great options out there, you’re sure to have tons of music to choose from! All of these are available on the Apple App Store and Android Google Play. Let us know if you have used these apps and what you think on Twitter or Facebook!
