If you work in the Houston event industry long enough, you quickly learn that the holiday rush doesn’t start in November or December. It starts in October.
Halloween parties, school fall festivals, country club events, corporate celebrations and Día de los Muertos events make October one of our busiest times of the year at The Trade Entertainment. And one of our favorite things about fall events is how creative you can get with the entertainment.
At The Trade Entertainment, our cigar roller packages currently start at $900, with options for larger quantities depending on your guest count and event.
But when you hire a live cigar roller, you’re getting much more than a box of cigars. You’re adding an experience.
Guests can watch cigars being hand-rolled right in front of them, interact with an experienced cigar roller, learn about the tobacco and different cigar options, and then leave with a hand-rolled cigar as a souvenir from your event.
We’ve provided cigar rollers for everything from birthday parties and weddings to
corporate events, and while they’re extremely popular for Cuban-themed parties, you definitely don’t need a Cuban theme to have one.
One of my favorite parts of my job is helping clients choose entertainment that fits their event. After more than 25 years in this industry, I’ve learned that there usually isn’t just one “perfect” choice. It’s all about creating the right experience for your guests.
I’ve also noticed that many of the same mistakes come up over and over again. The good news is that they’re all easy to avoid once you know what to look for.
One of the things I tell clients all the time is that there really isn’t a “wrong” choice when it comes to entertainment. Almost any entertainment can add something special to an event. The trick is choosing entertainment that fits your guests, your venue, and the kind of experience you want people to have.
After more than 25 years in the entertainment industry, I’ve helped plan everything from corporate events and festivals to weddings, galas, grand openings, and private parties. One thing I’ve learned is that the most successful events aren’t necessarily the ones with the biggest budgets. They’re the ones where the entertainment is thoughtfully planned.
Planning an event is exciting, but one of the first questions almost everyone asks is:
“How much does entertainment cost?” The honest answer is…it depends. But probably not for the reasons you think.
