Let our Charming Quartet of costumed Carolers enhance the spirit and good cheer of your Holiday Party or Event!
From the planning of to the performance, this quartet was wonderful! Surprised my whole family with this gift of Carolers and it was so worth it!! Great voices and great people. Good with the little kids too! Brought my mother to tears. She was choked up for days over how much she enjoyed this, worth every cent!
They were great we all enjoyed them very much Thank you and Happy New Year
The four Victorian Carolers were so talented and professional. Highly recommend! They brought holiday cheer and fun for my grandson who is only 6 years and my granddaughter who is 10 years. He loved the sing a long to the 12 days of christmas
the singers were great- i hope they enjoy performing in front of the residents of the nursing home as much as the residents enjoyed the show. it was great
Came to our apartment community going around doing an amazing job singing all of the best Christmas classics. They stood in the cold for long periods of time, sang loudly and even took request! We will most definitely be booking them next Christmas as well. 10/10 Experience!
3rd time having them, always on time, good communication and most of all the family loves them!!!
Already looking forward to next year. Were very accommodating, and the guests at our party had a wonderful time listening to and singing with the performers.
The Victorian Carolers are a group of very professional, talented and truly gifted singers. Both family and residents could not say enough great things about their performance and costumes. Looking forward to booking them next year!
I can't recommend the Victorian Carollers enough. Excellent prices, easy communication, timely, and perfect performance. We most certainly will be booking them again!!
They were so good. Highly recommend.
The Carolers were magnificent. They added a true holiday spirit to our Afternoon Tea. Attendees raved about them!

This is the second year we have hired the Victorian Carolers for our annual Holiday event. They do a wonderful job and the everyone enjoys hearing them sing!
We had the Victorian Carolers for our holiday party, and they were so much fun. We had roughly 40 kids in attendance, and they did a great job engaging them and having the whole party singing along. Certainly a highlight of the night. Thank you for coming!
The Victorian Carolers were amazing! They were the sweetest group of people ever! I’ve had carolers before who I thought were great but these ones were beyond perfect! Besides there beautiful singing voices they were so jolly and brought such genuine happy cheer to our party! Thanks again you guys were a pleasure!!
Thank you so much you all were exceptional!
The carolers were outstanding. So accommodating to our requests. Hope to book them again next year-
This group communicates clearly, showed up early and had beautiful voices. They dealt with a kinda rough room in terms of background noise and were the highlight of our family Christmas party!
The Victorian Carolers were wonderful and all our guests and people visiting the Inn remarked how much they enjoyed the venue. We are looking forward to having them be with us next year as well.
The group was amazing. Got everyone in the Holiday spirit
such a wonderful event it’s such a difficult time in the world. So many unable to travel or see loved ones so it was wonderful that the Victorian Carolers were able to stop by at our family’s home and sing along with our family member. Is most appreciated they communicated extremely well and we are very thankful. A fantastic jo!
Danny and his group were wonderful—charming, fun, and of course, they sang beautifully. They strolled our neighborhood pocket park and provided a personal performance outside each home. Everyone loved it!
Can’t wait for next year!
our residents loved it!!
The Victorian Carolers were one of the highlights of our Holiday Open House! All of our members loved listening to them as they wandered around our Center. Thank you for once again being an integral part of our holiday celebration!
My mom is 91 and almost 3,000 miles away from me but I was able to send her Christmas Cheer via the Victorian Carolers. They visited her the day after Christmas and sang with her the Carols she loves. She was so thrilled and I am so glad I found them and had a chance to spread this joy. They took pictures for me and sent them I have nothing but great things to say about them!!
Thank so much for the social distance holiday cheer
Danny and his team showed up during our first Nor'easter making it a very picturesque scene. What great dedication from this group. Thank you for all you do, I know it's not the easiest thing to sing in the cold in the snow yet you guys made it happen and made an otherwise miserable year a gleeful one. Thank you for what you do. Totally recommend this group.
They were amazing so worth it. Made everyone so happy especially when we participated.
A truly special holiday treat. The carolers brought so much cheer to our little home and neighborhood. They were so kind, engaging, and oh so beautiful to hear! We danced, we cheered, we sang, we felt merry and bright. Danny was incredibly responsive to my questions, and did an amazing job helping me coordinate this surprise. I look forward to hiring them again and again and again!
GREAT CAROLERS!!!!!
I worked with Danny, he made the process very seamless. Day of, they were timely, professional, self sufficient and our residents loved it! Will have them again next year. Thank you The Victorian Carolers!
You are all sooo wonderful!!And really made this a special Christmas for Beatriz and family & friends ❤️🎄🎅🏼
Thank you 🥰
2020 has been a challenging year but Danny and his crew of Victorian Carolers are absolutely best in class! Due to weather we had to move Danny and his team multiple times. They were incredible. Danny is amazing. The Victorian Carolers are simply beautiful and brought those watching you tears. I can’t wait to rebook them next year!
The Victorian Carolers were so kind, wonderful and beautifully dressed. I was busy running around during the event so I actually didn't get to really stop and enjoy the singing, yet all the guest thought they were wonderful. I guess I would wish the sound was a little bit louder. I am not sure if that was on our end, of needing to set up a sound system or if perhaps they wore small little microphones to help with this. Honestly I would hire them again. It added such a nice ambiance to the Holiday event and their willingness to perform for an Assisted Living Community during Covid times was very thoughtful.
What a pleasure to work with these incredible singers and can’t wait to have them back each year if the can make it for our annual holiday event.
I hired The Victorian Carolers to sing for the cocktail hour at my wedding on 12/7/19. They did not disappoint! All of my wedding guests were raving about how awesome they were and what a great idea it was to have them there. They really added a level of magic to my wedding. I highly recommend them. Also Danny was great at communicating with me ahead of time. Thank you!!!
My members really enjoyed the performance.
Response from The Victorian Carolers:
Dear Charlotte,
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your very kind words about our performance there and for hosting us at your beautiful Club. We had such a fun time performing for your guests and strolling from table to table taking their requests. Here's hoping you have much happiness, health and peace in the New Year! THANKS AGAIN! Cheers, Danny B.
Personable and very entertaining!
THANK YOU to the Victorian Carolers. They made my holiday gathering very special. They took requests. Some of my guests were so moved by their singing and song selection that a few guests were brought to tears. It was beautiful that they were a part of my holiday season and I look forward to having them back again next year!
Response from The Victorian Carolers:
Thank you, Charlie!
We love what we do and hope to bring joy to all our fellow revelers. Thanks again for your kind words!
Cheers,
Danny B
So so disappointed. When you hire Carolers they should have practiced and they should actually be able to sing.. neither was true of this group.. we hid them in a less busy spot because they were so bad.. nice costumes tho... I have proof of awful video too.
Response from The Victorian Carolers:
Dear Cheri,
Thank you for your feedback. I am so so sorry that you were unhappy with the performance. I wasn't aware of your displeasure until just now, in receiving this feedback. Please let me know your address so that I may send you out a refund. Once again, I am so sorry to hear this. We appreciate the opportunity you presented for us to be a part of your event and wish you all the best in 2020! Cheers, Danny B.
The Victorian Carolers visited our home for a very special family Christmas party and they exceeded our hopes and expectations! They were on time, talented, good humored, and fun! We highly recommend them. Our experience booking this event with Gig Salad was perfect.
Response from The Victorian Carolers:
Dear Cheryl,
Thank you thank you thank you for your kind words. It was truly OUR pleasure to be part of your spectacular event. So much joy in that room!!! THANKS AGAIN.
MERRY CHRISTMAS and all the best in 2020!
Cheers,
Danny B.
Everything and more than I expected! My granddaughters couldn’t take their eyes off them. My neighbors wanted all the information on them. I had all I could do to keep from tearing up. Just seeing the joy in everyone’s face. I am definitely booking them for next year! 30 minutes was perfect. It was outside. We had a pot of hot chocolate with all the fixings. Couldn’t be more happy this morning 😊
Response from The Victorian Carolers:
Dear John,
A huge THANK YOU to you for including us.
We were thrilled to be part of such a festive, kind-hearted and warm event.
Here's hoping you and your family enjoy a FANTASTIC Christmas and a great 2020!
Thanks again for including us.
Cheers and all best,

I can not thank this group enough. They came into the function room singing, took request and got the whole party involved in singing then 12 Days of Xmad. Highly recommend!
Response from The Victorian Carolers:
Dear Joel,
A heartfelt THANK YOU for including us in your event.
We were so happy to be part of such a fun night and thanks to all of your members for their top-notch requests.
May you all enjoy a peaceful and joyous season and a 2020 that is full of all good thongs.
Thanks again.
Cheers,
Danny B.
We booked the Victorian Carolers as a surprise for our family Christmas party. They were AWESOME, fun, engaging and energetic and sounded and looked great. You should have seen the expressions on everyone's faces when these well dressed carolers with happy smiles walked up our driveway and into our house. I'm SO glad we did it!
Response from The Victorian Carolers:
Thank you, Jeff!
It was our pleasure.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Such a great experience!!! Everyone was so sweet and had such beautiful voices! All of our guests loved!! Gave the party a fun Christmas cheer to have!
We had the Victorian Carolers at a party at a large luxury apartment community. They were EXCELLENT. They engaged the crowd and at one point, the room of 100 people were all singing along with them. Their outfits were great and we were very pleased. Great job!
Fantastic performers greeted guests and really got us into the the Holiday spirit. Thank you so much for your wonderful performance!!
Once again we were thrilled with the Victorian Carolers. They made our Christmas party over the top festive! Such kind, wonderful people. They really went above and beyond for us. We are so thankful and appreciative. We will be calling them
Again next year. They truly made our party! ❤️
Thank you so much for coming down to Falmouth MA to perform a lovely and festive concert for our visitors to the historic house museum's holiday event. The four singers were lovely to host, their costumes, beautiful voices, and cheerful countenances were all we could ask for and more. I hope we will be able to have them return for another performance another time of year.
Response from The Victorian Carolers:
Dear Joanne,
THANK YOU for your kind words.
Our pleasure!
Cheers,
Danny B.
Thanks so much for joining us at the Hopedale Downtown Winter Stroll! You were a wonderful part of our day.
From arrival through the performance ...they were excellent!
Great event! Very professional and interacted with the crowd. Thank you guys!
On time, very accommodating, professional, and overall, a delightful experience. Worth every penny!
Could not have been happier! A small family gathering including 5 grandchildren, and the kids were in awe! Dancing and singing - a very special moment. Carolers were so accommodating and made it fun for all. Beautiful voices and costumes! So professional and polite. They felt like part of the family! Thank you so much!
It made our night. They looked amazing and sounded great. It put everyone in the Christmas spirit.
Thank you so much!!!
They were amazing. My husband loved it.
We had a blast! Thank you. Made our Christmas.
Second year in a row hiring this group of Carolers. They dress the part and do a great job! Couldn’t be happier!
Thank you for an amazing night. From beginning to end, the Victorian Carolers were amazing. From their Victorian style costumes, endless Christmas carols, and professionalism, I can't say enough about how pleased everyone was. Even over the noise of the function, the carolers could be heard clearly. They greeted the guests with carols as they entered the function. They moved about the function room and took requests at individual tables.
This was my second time hiring the Victorian Carolers and I'll definitely be hiring them again.
Would hire them again.
What a fantastic evening this team provided the residents of our facility and their families. Professional throughout and harmonious voices filled the halls with joy to the elderly and young alike. I will rehire again and again!! Big thanks to the team.
I already did this. The carolers were great . What isn't great are all the emails I am getting from you people.
Did a really nice job, very professional but relaxed ... mingled well with guests and sang classical christmas tunes, we liked them a lot
The Victorian Carolers arrived on time with smiles and enthusiasm. Our group enjoyed their Christmas carols and their singing added much to our Christmas party cocktail reception. Very good experience and I would happily call on them again.
This group can really sing. They dressed in wonderful, Victorian outfits that really set the Christmas tone. I loved how they moved to different spots in the function room yet you could still hear them no matter where you were sitting. I highly recommend the Victorian Carollers
Great night, caroling house to house in our neighborhood. The Victorian Carolers completely delivered! The Victorian Carolers showed up early, provided us with sheet music as promised, dressed the part and most importantly they sang unbelievably!!! I would not hesitate to hire them again in the future!!! Thank you for unforgettable night!!!
