On average, Christmas carolers cost $300-$600 depending on the length of the performance, the number of carolers in the group, and their experience level. Large caroling groups with professional costumes that have been performing together for a long time will often charge more than smaller a cappella groups that do occasional caroling. When researching pricing details, keep in mind that travel costs may also be added to the total.
The standard tipping practice is 10-20% of the total booking price, depending on how you feel the performance went. An alternative approach is to tip $25-$50 per group member, or whatever amount you think seems reasonable. Depending on the type of event, you might also consider allowing for a tip jar so your mingling guests can contribute to the tip total. When deciding how much to tip, consider the entire booking experience from their communication all the way through to their performance.
Christmas carolers are most commonly booked for 1-hour performances. However, most groups are willing to accommodate whatever is required for your event. If you need them for longer than an hour, be sure to plan for short breaks every 30-45 minutes so they can rest and hydrate.
The event details will often dictate when and how the caroling performance will take place. You might have them present at the start of the event to stand near the door and greet employees as they arrive at your corporate event. Or perhaps they can be the featured holiday entertainment with a set time for the audience to sit and listen to the songs. You could even hire them to move throughout your holiday party caroling as they go. Christmas carolers are used to all types of scenarios, so just discuss your needs with the performers at the time of booking.
Holidays are obviously a very busy time of year, so the earlier the better when it comes to booking entertainment for your Christmas parties. Some planners book Christmas carolers as early as September. If you wait until November or later, you might have trouble finding caroling groups that are available, especially on busy weekends in December.
