Last-Minute Holiday Party Entertainment in Houston

Have These Ready Before You Call

The faster we can check real options, the better. A complete request saves days.

• The date, and whether a second date is possible.
• The venue name and address.
• The guest count.
• The hours you need music.
• The kind of evening: background music, dancing or both.
• Your entertainment budget.
• Who signs the agreement and who approves the deposit.

Where Flexibility Helps

• The day of the week

  Friday and Saturday dates are the first that bands book. If your company can celebrate on a weeknight, ask about it.

• The time of day

  A luncheon or an afternoon party is a different slot from an evening one.

• The size of the act

  A duo, a trio or a string ensemble is a different search from a ten-piece dance band.

• Band or DJ

  Avalon books professional DJs as well as bands, and a DJ fits rooms and budgets a band may not.

• The month

  Some companies move the party to January on purpose.

Decide Quickly

A date is secured when the agreement is signed and the deposit is paid, typically 50% of the total fee. Until then, another client can take it. If your company needs a purchase order or several approvals, start that process the same day you ask for a quote.

Review the videos and demos we send as soon as they arrive, and send questions in one message.

Keep Requests Simple

Avalon normally asks for song requests 4 to 6 weeks before an event, because learning a new song takes rehearsal time. On a shorter timeline, choose from the songs the act already plays. Every act page has a song list.

Seasonal classics can be worked into any setlist, so a holiday feel does not depend on special requests.

Next Year

January is a good time to book December events, and many Avalon clients rebook the same band for the next year. If this season taught you anything, put the date in your calendar now.
