They are all amazing singers, the costumes are on point, they are engaging and really bring the holidays home. I would highly recommend them for any festive event you are hosting. Bravo!!! I cannot say enough good things about them - HIRE THEM!!! Your guests will be thrilled!!!

This December will be the seventh year in a row that the Manhattan Holiday Carolers will entertain for our holiday party and we couldn't be more thrilled to welcome them back once again. Their beautiful voices, intricate costumes, and kind demeanor are the perfect way to welcome guests to the party and we often find people staying with the carolers for multiple songs, singing along, and anxiously awaiting which carol will come next before heading into the rest of the party. Year after year we get too many compliments to count on how impressed people are with the Manhattan Holiday Carolers and we look forward to welcoming them back to entertain for many years to come. Their arrangements and performances cannot be topped.

We work with Manhattan Holiday Carolers every year to provide extremely talented and professional vocalists for our holiday celebration and tree lighting ceremony. Costumes are fabulous, performers are incredible, and they are very easy to work with. Highly recommend!

These performers present themselves well and sound like heaven. They know many songs and are well rehearsed. A fantastic addition to any holiday event.

What to Expect
Because Manhattan Holiday Carolers never hold books, carolers are free to interact and engage guests while singing, taking requests (no flipping through pages to find a song!), playfully including children, etc. A one-hour booking generally includes 45 minutes of singing, adapted to the needs of your specific event. Carolers arrive roughly 30 minutes prior to set time to dress and meet with the on-site contact.
About
Manhattan Holiday Carolers (formerly Definitely Dickens East) was launched in 2005 as the eastern version of California's Definitely Dickens Holiday Carolers. Manhattan Holiday has attracted a roster of some of NYC's best singer/actors including Broadway veterans and cabaret award-winners. Over more than a decade in the New York area, Manhattan Holiday has been engaged by The Plaza, Tavern On The Green, NY Public Library, Garden State Plaza Mall, Atlas Park Mall, and the NJ towns of Chester, Maplewood, Hanover, East Hanover, and Cranford, as well as numerous private and corporate events.
In addition to stunning hand-made Victorian costumes, what sets Manhattan Holiday apart from other caroling companies is the caliber of original musical arrangements. You've never heard a "Silent Night" as poignant, a "Do You Hear What I Hear" as hauntingly beautiful, or a "Santa Baby" as raucous and jazzy! Because all of our singers are actors as well, you and your guests will be entertained by lively and engaging musicians who make each song unforgettable.
