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!
