How to Hire Christmas Entertainers for Luxury Resorts & Hotels
To hire professional Christmas entertainers for luxury hotels or resorts, plan early (8–12 weeks before the holiday season), define your event type (gala dinner, family show, rooftop party), and work with an international agency like Rising Stars that provides vetted musicians, dancers and circus acts for festive programmes worldwide.
Why Christmas Entertainment Matters for Luxury Hospitality
Christmas and New Year are when guests expect more than beautiful decor – they expect an experience.
Live music, costumed dancers, and interactive holiday shows increase guest engagement and restaurant turnover while enhancing brand loyalty.
Partnering with Rising Stars ensures that your hotel or resort receives performers who understand five-star standards, follow international contracts, and create a consistent festive mood.
Step 1 – Define Your Entertainment Format
Different zones require different types of Christmas shows:
- Lobby & Lounge: soft Jazz Bands and acoustic ensembles.
- Restaurant Gala Dinner: Pop Party Bands for celebratory energy.
- Outdoor Stage & Resort Area: Variety Bands and holiday Dance Groups.
- Family Zones or Kids Clubs: festive characters and Animators.
Each type creates its own atmosphere, and our team helps combine them into a single Christmas program.
Step 2 – Choose Professional Performers Only
Avoid last-minute local freelancers. Rely on certified professionals with international experience and recent promo videos.
Rising Stars screens every artist before adding them to the Entertainers Database – covering musicians, dancers, circus acts and guest performers.
We match you with talent suited for resorts, cruises, theme parks or corporate events – anywhere a professional show is needed.
Step 3 – Coordinate Technical and Show Logistics
Before confirming the contract:
- Approve space size, stage and power access.
- Plan sound check and lighting for each act.
- Reserve safe storage for costumes and equipment.
- Align schedule with hotel F&B or guest program.
Our managers work directly with your team to coordinate arrival, rehearsal and performance timing – so the holiday line-up runs flawlessly.
Step 4 – Plan Timing and Rotations
For multi-week Christmas programmes:
- Rotate Bands every 3–4 days to keep the music fresh.
- Mix live performances with DJ or Guest Entertainers for balance.
- Combine Street Performers and Stage Shows for outdoor and indoor zones.
Guests appreciate diversity, and we ensure each act complements your brand’s holiday story.
Step 5 – Finalize Contract and Support
Every agreement includes:
- Performance dates and duration.
- Rehearsal and sound-check schedule.
- Payment and cancellation terms.
- Technical and safety requirements.
Rising Stars assists with documentation and artist communication but does not cover travel or visa costs. We stay connected with performers before, during and after the contract to guarantee quality delivery.
