You are welcome to have any band play for your event, all we ask is that you share the following Policies and Procedures with the band that you select.
In an effort to offer our customers a full service event we are now working with an exclusive DJ company. All DJ's must be booked through the Padelford Packet Boat Company. For more details, speak with your charter consultant. We recommend booking your DJ as soon as possible, however all DJ's must be booked at least two weeks before your event. If you wish to bring on your own DJ there will be a service charge of $150.00. We also ask that you share our Policies and Procedures with the DJ that you select and provide a certificate of insurance form the DJ.
Casinos
All Casino Services must be purchased through the Padelford Packet Boat Co. Your guests will enjoy all of the excitement of a night in Las Vegas with nothing to lose. Even gaming neophytes have nothing to fear - our friendly, experienced dealers will teach the different games and ensure a good time for everyone.

Flowers and Decorations
The riverboats are attractively appointed with brass lamps, embossed tin ceilings and colorful carpeting. If you wish to add flowers, balloons, banners, etc., you may do so with a few considerations.
Ice sculptures/Ice Bars
Nothing sets the mood for a special event quite like a full-sized ice-sculpture. Padelford's charter consultants can coordinate a number of different custom ice-sculptures, even incorporating your group's logo. For more information on Ice Sculptures, please contact your Padelford charter representative.
"Spence" Snacks
Padelford's famous "Spence" Snacks have become a big hit over the past few seasons. A variety of snacks (chips, salsa, pretzels, etc.) are spread throughout the vessel, creating gathering places for your guests to mingle and enjoy their cruise up the Mighty Mississippi. Ask your Padelford charter consultant about "Spence" Snacks.
Other Entertainment
If you are searching for a unique entertainment experience, our charter consultants can assist you in finding caricaturists, magicians, fortune tellers, etc.
