As a professional magician, I’ve performed for a lot of NYC holiday parties and worked with dozens of event planners. One of the most common things that’s overlooked is the mood of the party.
I’ve learned that it’s not just one thing that sets the mood for the holiday party: it’s the sum of all the little things that work together to create an ideal mood and atmosphere.
The event team, location, lighting, music, decorations, food and beverages, and entertainment all play an important role in setting the mood for your holiday party.
I’m reminded of the time I performed for Columbia Medical Center’s Holiday Luncheon.
I performed my show for the children so that the adults had a chance to relax and enjoy the celebration. The children were falling over with laughter, wide-eyed with amazement, and mesmerized for a full hour. Both the children and adults had a great time.
A professional entertainer can play a big role in making the planning of your holiday party stress-free.
