What is in a winter wonderland package?
A winter wonderland theme is all white, silver and ice blue: frozen living statues that come to life, ice queens in masked and unmasked looks, LED performers and champagne walkers lit like snow.
It is perfect for Christmas and new year parties, winter weddings and January events that want something more elegant than tinsel.

Tips from our team
- 1
Dim the lights for LED
LED costumes are at their best in a darker room, so plan them after dinner.
- 2
Statue reveal
Guests assume the frozen statues are decor until they move. Place them where everyone walks past.
- 3
Book early
December is the busiest month of the year for themed acts. Start conversations in the summer.
