Shape the Evening
Arrival
Elegant greeters, vintage bellhops, champagne hosts, musicians and theatrical characters can establish the atmosphere before anyone reaches the bar.
Cocktail Hour

Featured Moment
Create one clear point of focus before dinner, awards, speeches or dancing with cabaret, specialty dance, live vocals, LED or a custom theatrical feature.
Celebration
Shift naturally into the final part of the evening with live music, DJs, dancers, specialty performers or a planned finale.

Winter Glamour
Elegant hosts, live music, sparkling visual details and sophisticated featured entertainment.
Vintage Holiday Cabaret
Jazz, cabaret performers, vintage characters and old-Hollywood holiday atmosphere.

Immersive Holiday
Characters, hidden interactions and theatrical moments guests discover throughout the evening.
Or bring us the visual direction your company or planner has already created.
Entertainment for a Mixed Corporate Room
Holiday parties often put executives, employees, clients, partners and guests into the same room. That matters.
Vaudezilla selects and directs performers around your company culture, audience and desired level of interaction so the entertainment feels celebratory without becoming awkward, disruptive or inappropriate for the room.
The goal is not simply more activity. The goal is a room people genuinely enjoy being in.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far ahead should we book holiday entertainment?
For larger November and December productions, 8 to 16 weeks ahead provides stronger performer, wardrobe and live-music options. Focused engagements may still be possible with shorter notice depending on availability.
Can Vaudezilla work with our planner or venue?
Yes. We regularly collaborate with event planners, venues, production companies, AV teams and internal corporate event departments.
Can the entertainment match our company or theme?
Yes. Performer selection, wardrobe, music and interaction can be shaped around your visual direction, company culture and audience.
Can we hire just one performer?
Yes. A focused featured performer may be the strongest choice when the rest of the party is already produced.
Do you provide holiday entertainment outside Chicago?
Yes. Chicago is our home market, with regional and select destination events available by proposal.
What should we send with our inquiry?
Date, venue, guest count, approximate entertainment budget, event schedule and what you want the room to feel like are enough to get started.
