Family celebrations

Communion, Christening & Naming Day Entertainment in Glasgow

Family Celebration Entertainment — 3, 4 or 5 hours. A relaxed, flexible mix of disco, music, party games and activities designed for communions, christenings, naming days and other longer family celebrations. Rather than trying to keep children dancing for hours on end, the entertainment changes naturally through the day, so children can join in when they are ready, take a break, do an activity, then come back to the party.

These are not simply longer kids discos.

The entertainment comes and goes with the day rather than taking it over. We can start gently while families arrive and eat, introduce games and activities as the children settle in, move into a disco when they're ready, then use crafts, karaoke and challenges between the more energetic parts.

Why these days are different

Entertainment that respects the wider family event

Communions, Christenings and Naming Days run longer than a birthday party, and the children are only part of the day.

Mixed ages are normal

Toddlers, primary-age children and teenagers are often all in the same room. The activities are adjusted so nobody is too old or too young to join in.

Shy children are never put on the spot

Children who are quiet at the start are left to warm up in their own time. They can watch, do a quieter activity, then join the games and the disco when they are ready.

Never takes over the day

The entertainment steps back around the meal, cake, speeches and photographs, so the adults keep the chance to sit, eat and catch up.

Disco, games & activities

What could we do at your celebration?

One flexible mix rather than a fixed running order — the disco and games lead, with activities used in between to keep the children occupied.

  • DJ and family-friendly disco
  • Kids and family party games
  • Karaoke
  • Fun challenges and competitions
  • Music and dances for the children
  • Colouring-in
  • Model making
  • Glitter tattoos
  • Quieter activities between games to keep children occupied
  • Games that involve parents and other family members too

How the day flows

What could your celebration look like?

A rough shape rather than a script — we read the room and move between these as the day goes on.

Gentle start while everyone arrives

Family-friendly music while guests arrive, eat and catch up, with low-key activities such as colouring-in and model making so the children have something to do before anything organised begins.

Games and disco as they settle

Once the children are comfortable, we bring in party games, music and dances, karaoke and challenges, and build into a proper disco when the room is ready for it.

Breaks built into the day

Around the meal, cake, speeches and photographs the entertainment steps back, then picks up again — glitter tattoos, crafts and quieter activities fill the gaps between the livelier parts.
