Holiday

The holiday season is quickly approaching and CMEvents is “Holiday Central” for all things festive! We have been helping to create special holiday memories since 1980! Would you like a visit from Santa? How about a ride in a horse drawn Bob Sleigh? Carolers are always a hit for casual dinner parties or large corporate events and we work with the areas finest. Music and entertainment are our specialty, and we can provide you with our first rate disc jockey service, karaoke, live bands, or solo musicians, depending on your tastes and budget. We can even provide you with digital photography to capture the fun and excitement from your event! We have mobile casinos available for intimate gatherings of 25 guests, up to large corporate events with 500 guests or more. Please browse this page to view a handful of our holiday entertainment options. We welcome the opportunity to work with you on your event regardless of size. Don’t delay your holiday planning as Santa can only be in one place at a time!
 
 
Holiday carolers

 

The Christmas spirit is often brought on by memories from Christmas past. Nothing evokes those memories quite like the sound of familiar carols being sung by beautiful accapella voices. Dressed in turn of the century costumes, our carolers are elegant and classic, and will warm the hearts of even the “scroogiest” listener. Reserve your carolers now as the season is quickly approaching, and this is an extremely popular entertainment option.

Options you might want to consider are:

  • Caroling at the door to welcome your guests
  • A special touch at family gatherings
  • Strolling through a reception or cocktail hour to create a holiday atmosphere
  • A short concert as part of your meeting or banquet program
  • Strolling table-to-table during or after dinner or dessert
  • A surprise for your employees or friends
  • An elegant gift for your important accounts
  • A festive touch for your holiday shoppers

 

 
 
 
Santa Claus

 

Whether you refer to him as Saint Nicholas, Kris Kringle, Father Christmas, Father Frost, Joulupki, Pere Noel, Sabdiklos, Sancte Claus, Sinter Klass, Weihnachtsmann, Jolly Old Saint Nick, Santa Claus, or just plain old Santa, this jolly old elf has become the secular symbol of Christmas and the holiday season, bringing joy to children and adults worldwide for hundreds of years. Capture the magic of the season at your holiday event with a visit from Santa. Celebration Music has the distinct pleasure of bringing Santa to the Northwest but once a year. “He knows if you’ve been bad or good”, so be good to yourself, your family, your employees, and their children and contact Santa’s Portland office at (503) 234-2492 before it’s too late!.

 

 

 
Carriage, sleigh ride

 

Picture a winter scene from a Hallmark greeting card or a Norman Rockwell painting. Snow covered roads, trees frosted with fresh powder, a horse drawn carriage or sleigh (weather permitting) with you and someone special, gliding down a country lane or city street on your way to a holiday gathering, surrounded by friends and family. Arrive in style in the original “SUV”. A romantic, fun, and exhilarating trip back in time! A sleigh ride reservation may be made at any time with the understanding that should snow conditions be unsuitable for a reserved sleigh ride we will substitute a carriage ride of the same length.

 

 

Magic of Christmas

 

In combination with carolers or any of our other holiday entertainment options, a magician is a fabulous and inexpensive idea that will amuse, baffle, and thoroughly entertain you and your guests with tableside magic, strolling sleight of hand, feats of prestidigitation, or a full stage show complete with world class illusions.

 

 

 

Casino parties - Vegas Christmas

The glitz of Las Vegas brought to your holiday event. Combine one of our casino packages with a Rat Pack tribute, big band with Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, or possibly a comedian. This appeals at so many levels and is a sure bet! Don’t gamble on second rate entertainment as the stakes are very high for the event planner who folds too early and falls back on stale and unimaginative entertainment for their company or client’s holiday party.

Our most popular gaming options include:

  • Blackjack
  • Roulette
  • Texas Hold ‘Em
  • Craps

We can accommodate parties from ten to 500!

 

 

Holiday karaoke and DJ

 

Karaoke is one of the most interactive and popular entertainment options for many types of events including holiday parties. Discover the inner American Idol within yourself and your guests. Coupled with one of our excellent DJs, this will be a huge hit at your next event and make you look good without “breaking the bank”. Incorporate holiday dinner music and sing along to our wide array of holiday music on karaoke. All packages include full dance and karaoke libraries of non-holiday music in case you your party wants a mix of holiday and non-holiday music.

 

 

Hawaiian Christmas

Mele Kalikimaka me Ka Hau’ oli Makahiki Hou!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Escape the winter blahs and take a trip to the Islands. If that isn’t possible, bring the islands to you! The holiday season is a perfect time for a luau complete with authentic Hawaiian/Polynesian music and dancers. We have the great fortune to work with some of the finest authentic dancers and musicians performing the music and traditional dances of the Hawaiian Islands and Tahiti. The shows vary in size and are perfect for any event where something extraordinary and unique is called for. Santa in a grass skirt? Can you say Don Ho Ho Ho?

 

 

Holiday party caricaturist

 

You want to add some laughs to your party? Caricaturists are very popular at holiday parties, wedding receptions, birthday parties, corporate events, trade shows, and dozens of other special events and parties. Whether it's ultra-formal or super-casual, a talented caricaturist will fit right into your event and make it memorable! The caricaturist will sketch (the actual drawing time can be a fast as 2 to 5 minutes per person!) a customized cartoon portrait for each of your party guests. Caricaturists will amaze and astound with their ability to capture the true likeness of everyone. A cartoon caricature is unique, because the caricature is something your guests will be able to take home. It is one of the only party entertainment services that double as a party favor! It’s great for all ages and occasions. So hire a caricaturist for your next party!
