Celebrity lookalikes

Everyone wants their party to be memorable. One fun idea is to hire celebrity lookalikes to mingle with your guests. Nothing loosens up a stuffy corporate crowd quite like sharing cocktails with Gaga or Elvis.

A couple of months ago a friend of mine who happens to be a pianist was hired for a corporate party. What he didn’t know was that they had hired Michael Buble, Bette Midler and Elton John impersonators to work the party as well. Before he took the stage, he spoke with all three and asked if they would mind singing with him. He figured out what songs they could all do, and then they began their act. After the act the impersonators were mingling with the guests. The acts continued doing the show again and then 30 minutes later Elton took over the stage with a medley of his greatest hits,

I thought that the choices of Michael Buble and Elton John impersonators were particularly inspired because they are both over-the-top personalities and you can’t help but have a good time and smile in the face of such flamboyance. I think Lady Gaga, Tina Turner, Prince, Beyoncé and other larger-than-life entertainers would all be great choices too.

Of course there are brides have been hip to this for decades. Just think of the many marriages in Vegas that have been officiated by Elvis. But you don’t have to be in Vegas to get married by the likes of Cher or Sharon Osborne. Just look on our list of celebrity lookalikes and see who could be at your party!!

A summer garden party for all…

If you have the space, or even if you don’t and want a small an intimate garden party then we have all the party and event entertainment you will need for a great Spring or Summer Garden party.

With the general election coming up in May you could go all Patriotic and have a themed garden party with your favourite ‘parties’ colours or you could bring in some MP lookalikes along. Go head to head with Cameron or Miliband with a little bit of Farage mixed in, all doing the hokey cokey together will be a right laugh!!

Hiring a string quartet to play some thought provoking ‘losers’ music; or some upbeat ‘jazz music’ for your ‘winning’ side.

It doesn’t have to be a serious affair – just a group of friends or neighbours around allowing everybody to get to know each other that little bit better.   

If you are having more of a corporate event and space is no object go full on with food caterers, promotional staff, cocktail waiters or a big brass band welcoming your very important guests.

Big outside garden games to hire for everyone to join in and don’t forget to hire some Marquees and sometimes the British weather is a little bit unpredictable (as we all know)

Lighting for when the sun sets is especially important for ambience it could be some romantic fairy lights or some light changing LED’s that will compliment any ‘theme’.

Walkabout artists engaging your guests or illusionists there is loads of entertainment to choose from.  There will be something for everybody and nobody could say they were bored.

So don’t just book some outside caterers for some ‘limp cucumber sandwiches’ for your next Garden Party – have fun, and look on Red Masque to see what other entertainment is on offer.

Birthday Celebration Ideas

The tradition of holding a party to celebrate the anniversary of birth began centuries ago in Europe when it was feared that evil spirits sought out people on their birthdays. To protect them from harm, friends and family would gather around to bring good thoughts and wishes. Giving gifts brought even more good cheer to ward off evil spirits, and candles were placed on cakes to transport the birthday wishes directly to God.

Initially, only royalty was deemed important enough to have a birthday celebration, but the tradition soon spread with the introduction of the children’s party in Germany, the Kinderfeste.

For the trivia buffs amongst you; the lyrically astounding ‘Happy Birthday to You’ song was written in 1839 by sisters Mildred and Patty Smith Hill!!

Birthday party fancy dress themes work really well let your imagination run wild…

It’s good to ensure there are plenty of attractions to keep guests talking & mingling so you could also consider casino tables which can tie in nicely with a James Bond theme, for example, and create a space for guests to meet, mix and break the ice. Also check out our celebrity lookalikes who will work the floor & get people talking.

For a rocking party, you could book a party band to play songs fitting to that theme or just a general Rock, Pop, Soul, and Swing or even a hired Jazz band to keep your guests dancing all evening long.

Hiring a Celebrity lookalike of your favourite celebrity would be a great touch. For a great surprise you could hire some comedy music acts who can act “incognito” for part of the evening before bursting into song when your guests least expect it!
