Live Christmas party band performing at a company holiday event

Suite 03 — Christmas Parties

The Christmas party, played live.

A live Christmas party band for office celebrations, client dinners and year-end galas — festive where it should be, and a genuine dance floor where it counts.

Live music for weddings and corporate events in Banff, Canmore, Calgary and Lake Louise — and at many more Rocky Mountain venues besides. The band has played the Banff Springs, the Rimrock Resort, Banff Park Lodge and Banff Park Ranch in Banff, the Malcolm Hotel, Silver Tip Resort, Stewart Creek and Cornerstone Theatre in Canmore, and the Palliser and the Calgary Petroleum Club in Calgary — plus plenty more mountain and city rooms across Alberta.

Many of our couples are planning a destination wedding in Banff or Canmore rather than marrying at home, travelling in from the United States, from other Canadian provinces and from the UK. We work through travel, load-in and the ceremony-to-reception timeline with you long before the day, so a wedding in the mountains feels as considered as one in your own city.

The Occasion

The company party happens once a year. It should feel like it.

A holiday party asks a lot of one evening: it has to please the whole room, from the people who have worked together for a decade to the plus-ones meeting everyone for the first time. Live music does that better than a playlist ever will — it gives the night a beginning, a middle and a moment nobody has to organise.

We play office Christmas parties, client and staff appreciation nights, restaurant and hotel holiday events, and year-end galas. Familiar party standards, the songs that fill a dance floor, and a band that reads a mixed room instead of playing over it.

The Evening

What a Christmas party sounds like.

01

Party sets

Familiar party standards, played live — so the whole room sings along and still dances.

02

Arrival to encore

Your choice: a playlist through cocktails and dinner, or the band playing an acoustic set — then the full band kicks off the party and carries the part of the night everyone talks about on Monday.

03

Sound & lighting

Our own PA and lighting, mixed for a hotel ballroom, a restaurant or a rented hall — and quiet enough for speeches.

04

DJ between sets

Continuous music across changeovers and after the last song, with requests taken. The floor never empties mid-party.

Band size & pricing

Most holiday parties book the four-piece band, from $4,400, with the stripped-down five-piece and the acoustic duo available for smaller rooms, dinners and arrivals. Full pricing, travel and inclusions are on the pricing page.

Holiday SpecialRight now we're running a holiday special on the stripped-down acoustic four-piece band — three 45-minute sets for $3,800 — all the same great songs, just more of an acoustic vibe.
