Victorian-costumed professional carolers bringing the magic of the holiday season to your event.
The Collins Classic Carolers were founded in 1985 by Dr. Mary Ella Collins, a classically trained soprano and beloved figure in the Dallas music community. What began as a small group of talented singers has grown into one of the most sought-after holiday entertainment acts in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. For four decades, families, companies, and organizations have welcomed our carolers as a cherished part of their holiday celebrations.
Our carolers have graced some of Dallas's most iconic stages and venues, including a memorable appearance on PBS's Barney and Friends, bringing the joy of traditional Christmas music to audiences across the country.
Every performance by the Collins Classic Carolers is a visual as well as musical experience. Our ladies wear rich velvets and taffeta plaids in deep holiday colors, evoking the warmth and romance of a Victorian Christmas. The gentlemen are outfitted in period-appropriate frock suits and top hats, completing the tableau of old-world elegance. These are not rental costumes — they are carefully curated ensembles that transport your guests to a bygone era of holiday charm.
The beauty of our carolers goes far beyond their costumes. Each singer is a classically trained vocalist with professional performance experience. Our repertoire spans the beloved carols and hymns of the season — from "O Holy Night" and "Silent Night" to "Deck the Halls" and "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen." We also perform lesser-known gems from the English and European caroling traditions, and we are happy to learn special requests to make your event truly personal.
Over the years, the Collins Classic Carolers have performed for an extraordinary roster of clients across the metroplex. We have brought holiday cheer to events hosted by Mary Kay Inc., The Adolphus Hotel, The Mansion on Turtle Creek, Neiman Marcus, Presbyterian Hospitals, KPMG, OmniAmerican Bank, Brook Hollow Golf Club, City Club, Bent Tree Country Club, and Gleneagles Country Club, among many others. Whether performing in a grand ballroom, strolling through a holiday market, or caroling at a private home, our singers deliver a polished and heartfelt performance every time.
The holiday season books up quickly, and our most popular dates fill months in advance. We recommend reaching out early to secure your preferred date and ensemble size. Our caroling groups are available in configurations from a quartet to larger ensembles, and we can perform indoors or outdoors at venues throughout Dallas-Fort Worth.
