The Christmas Song

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire….Jack Frost nipping at your nose….Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir…

The Holiday season is filled with Christmas songs and traditional tunes you recognize from year to year. This year while planning several company holiday parties at the Club I have seen several different entertainment acts.

For a very classical and intimate setting, a harp is classic. I would recommend Michelle Sell, 415-457-3912. She has a beautiful harp and can play almost anywhere. I was fortunate enough to enjoy her holiday music on two different occasions, a corporate holiday party and the City Club's own Grand Holiday Party Celebration. Her music filled our lobby with traditional Christmas melodies as guests made their way to the 10th floor.

Denon & Doyle also graced the City Club this holiday season. DJ Paul spun holiday and popular hits as guest’s danced the night away! Their set up looked great, along with the Cafe's sparkling holiday white lights in the background.

In addition, I also became familiar with Orange Photography. They had a modern photo booth set up for pictures during a holiday celebration. It was a great way to get guests to mix and mingle and a form of entertainment for the evening. There was a green screen set up for guests to take pictures in front of. When their photo was complete the background was a holiday snow scene. They even set up printing on site, so guests could take home a memory of the night!

Christmas music is bound to get anyone into the holiday spirit!
