Hello, Carolyn;
Thank you very much for this lovely review! It was a delight for us to perform for you all on Monday. In spite of the nasty roads and traffic, we made it to the Kay Meek Theatre — and the Probus group greeted us warmly and were so appreciative. Thanks to everyone for their kindness to us that day. It was a treat to perform on stage with mics, for a change. I’m so happy your event came off well in spite of the weather, that we were part of it and that your members loved our performance so much!
Regards,
Amy Newman
We asked Amy if they'd carol for our family. Mum's got cancer and has to be careful, so we thought of bringing festivities to her. The Revelers were wonderful - so cheering in their full costume and wonderful voices. The quote is from my father who is not given to superlatives. We sat on our steps in a rain pause and it felt something like witnessing a Christmas star or two...

Response from The Christmas Revelers:
Thank you so much for this lovely review, Meka. It was pure pleasure to entertain your family. There was something magical about us standing together and singing in your yard, as your family shone a flashlight down the stairs in order to see us in the gathering darkness! We couldn't see your faces, yet we felt the connection from all of you as we sang your favourite Christmas carols. The very best to all of your family.
We have been using the Christmas Revelers for the past several years at various locations for tenant appreciation events. Amy and her team are always professional and we have received nothing but positive feedback from our Tenants. The outfits are a nice touch as well. We plan to continue using them after the pandemic.

Thank you so much for this review, Ana. Your company has been a big part of our entertainment calendar since we first worked for you in 2016. What I have particularly appreciated, is that you have booked us for more events over the years. What began as one engagement, turned into several! It's loyal clients like you that make The Revelers thrive!
I cannot recommend them enough! Amy is quick, responsive, and delightful to work with. The Christmas Revelers truly brought our Holiday Market to life with their incredible talent and spirit. With a perfect blend of classic and modern holiday favourites, the Revelers filled our space with magic and merriment. We received so many compliments and comments from our guests that they loved the live carolling.

The Point Grey Village Business Association was thrilled to have The Christmas Revelers perform at our recent Holiday Shopping Event. Their beautiful a cappella harmonies brought an incredible festive atmosphere to the neighborhood, filling the air with classic carols and joyful holiday spirit.
Not only did they charm shoppers along the streets, but they also delighted visitors by caroling inside our local businesses, including Christianne’s Lyceum, Home Hardware, and others. Their presence created a truly magical experience, bringing warmth and holiday cheer to every corner of our community.
The professionalism, charm, and talent of The Christmas Revelers made them an absolute highlight of the event. We couldn’t have asked for a better addition to kick off the holiday season!
Thank you to The Christmas Revelers for spreading joy and cheer—we can’t wait to welcome them back next year!

We at the Lower Lonsdale BIA worked with The Christmas Revelers to bring more life to our Christmas Festival. The Christmas Revelers were wonderful to work with and provided great enthusiasm and entertainment for our community. Super accommodating and easy to work with. Will definitely bring them back again next year.

Thank you so much for hiring us, Greg. It was a pleasure to work for you all and bring some Christmas cheer to all the soggy visitors at the Shipyards the other night. People were obviously determined to have fun in spite of the weather and we were very happy to help out with our caroling entertainment.
For a second year in a row we've had the Christmas Revelers perform at our public Christmas event at Mackin House Museum. They are a wonderfully talented group and so easy to work with. The booking process was easy, plus they are all so warm, friendly, kind, and accommodating. They were willing to work with our schedule and budget and our guests were raving about them.
Their voices filled our Parlour beautifully and our guests were so happy to sit and listen and sometimes even sign along. We would highly recommend them at a holiday function.

Response from The Christmas Revelers:
Thank you so much for your lovely words, Stefani. I am pleased that we are such a good fit at Mackin House. Being a historic site, I hoped we would since we are decked out in our 19th century finery. Singing for all of your visitors/guests was a real treat. Because the space is intimate, we can give you our full dynamic range where a larger venue would demand of us that we simply sing LOUDLY. At Mackin House, we could bring you the quiet tunes as well as the more boisterous ones... Happy to do it again!
The Christmas Revelers were exactly what was needed at our Christmas celebration. They sounded wonderful, even in a crowd that was rather loudly 'networking'. We couldn't have asked for more ... thank you Revelers for coming out and infusing our party with the Christmas spirit!

Response from The Christmas Revelers:
Many thanks for the great recommendation, Jennifer! It was a delight to entertain you all at your BIA holiday party. Love the venue, too. We would be happy to do it again for you anytime.
The Christmas Revelers sang at our Christmas Market. Their beautiful music and period costumes enhanced the feeling of our evening tremendously. Our customers and vendors appreciated the added touch and we loved the music. The quartet is warm, friendly and professional. We hope to have them back next year.

Many thanks for this warm recommendation, Tammy. We would love to perform for you and all of your shoppers and guests again next year. This could become a wonderful tradition for us both!
The Christmas Revelers entertained at our annual Chairman's Tea to a rapt audience of 75 guests. All eyes and ears were on the Revelers as they celebrated the Holidays with song. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon. Lions Gate Hospital Foundation

Response from The Christmas Revelers:
Thank you for this, Joanne. We loved singing for you, as you were so attentive and appreciative. You are all such a lovely group and we will perform for you anytime!
In the crazy world of radio broadcasting, we often do things a little different and we presented the Christmas Revelers with a bit of a different spin on the classic Christmas carols they know so well by altering the lyrics to our own and they rose to the occasion in exceptional fashion and the finished product sounded incredible. Their harmonies on our airwaves really made our Christmas project a special one. Thank you!

Response from The Christmas Revelers:
Thank you so much for this, Jamie! You treated us great, too, so everybody wins. Let's do it again, sometime...
Christmas just isn’t Christmas unless we have our annual visit from The Christmas Revelers! For a number of years our residents have enjoyed their visits. They are so warm and friendly and our seniors thrive on their visit. They provide us with a professional, interactive performance – one which we are able to budget for and the results are always so positive! They bring Christmas, their costumes are classic and the performance…’Top Hat!’

The Christmas Revelers have been a regular feature at Terraces on 7th for several years now. Amy and her troupe are 100% professional musicians delivering terrific arrangements of Christmas carols - well known favourites as well as some gorgeous traditional ones which showcase the talented quartet. It really feels like they've stepped in off the streets of Dickens' era London bringing classic and simple beauty of four-part harmony. Their costumes are really good and include details down to the ladies' gloves. The quartet is very engaging and deliver variety in their repertoire. They are reliable and punctual and flexible to what type of performance you need. Definitely top calibre.

The group is wonderful to work with. They truly bring the spirit of Christmas to your venue.
Amy and her group are wonderful people, listen to any requests you might have and are very accommodating.

Response from The Christmas Revelers:
I appreciate your comments so much, Loraine. Thank you! Grouse Mountain will always remain one of our favourite places to play!
I had the pleasure of experiencing The Christmas Revelers at Carrington House, a seniors' residence, in Mission, B.C.. I was so impressed with how this group so expertly captivated and enchanted its audience with a beautifully sung, well-selected, varied repertoire--in exquisite four-part harmony--and a most engaging rapport. The Christmas Revelers were not only marvellous to listen to, but their period attire helped to fully create a package that was sumptuously wrapped in the magic of Christmas. The Christmas Revelers were pure, high-level entertainment and, I feel, are guaranteed to put anyone who is fortunate to hear them in the Christmas spirit!

About
"The Christmas Revelers" have been caroling throughout the Vancouver and Lower Mainland region since the year 2000. The idea to form the group came from a family member who needed some carolers for a holiday event at a boutique hotel in Vancouver. Amy Newman created a group to sing for the event and voila: "The Christmas Revelers" a cappella caroling quartet was born.
Now in its 24th year of operation, the "Revelers" have had a diverse client base over the years including: Newport Village, Burnaby Village Museum, The Arbutus Club, Bruce's Country Market, Telus Garden, Mackin Heritage House, Probus Club of North Vancouver, Seaspan Ferries, The Shipyards District BIA, Bentall 5, Warrington PCI Management, Willingdon Community Centre, The Hope Centre, New Vista Society, Park Place, JD Sweid Foods, Van Dusen Gardens, Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management, Grouse Mountain Resorts, Hyack Christmas Festival Parade of Lights, Consular Corps, Bosa Development, Old Schoolhouse Art Centre, Hilton Metrotown, Executive Event Production Inc, GardenWorks, Burnaby Community Connections, Hart House Restaurant, Beedie Group, Wedgewood Hotel, Spectra Energy, Lonsdale Quay and the Canucks' Autism Network as well as the seniors' retirement communities of Vancouver, Burnaby, North and West Vancouver, Surrey, Langley, White Rock, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Mission, BC.
When you hire "The Christmas Revelers" you can expect a performance that is like a show. Due to their training as entertainers, these carolers will engage your patrons/audience/visitors/shoppers with a dynamic presentation that includes traditional carols, such as "Jingle Bells" "O Holy Night", "Joy to the World" and "Hark! the Herald Angels Sing", as well as standard holiday classics, like "White Christmas", "All I Want for Christmas is You", "Winter Wonderland", "Let it Snow!", "Do You Hear What I Hear?", "Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer", and "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas".
"The Christmas Revelers" look wonderful, too. They are dressed in beautifully constructed 19th century period costumes, with brilliantly coloured red and green velvet ball gowns and cloaks for the ladies, with handsome matching vests, tailcoats and top hats for the gentlemen. It is a visual banquet.
"The Christmas Revelers" are professional in every sense of the word: punctual, polite, flexible, hard-working and team players for your event. As much as they may call themselves "artists", they also understand business and that what they provide is a service which has been hired to enhance your event. The list of clients who continue to book "The Revelers" year after year, is a testimonial to this effect.
This biography will conclude with a testimonial from a client that booked "The Revelers" one magical night in 2021...
