Planning an Office Christmas Party in Central Florida? Here’s Your Bar and DJ Timeline
The first half hour sets the tone for an office Christmas party. Give guests a drink they can order quickly, keep the music low enough for introductions, and leave room in the schedule for the team toast. Here’s a sample timeline for a Central Florida company party, whether you’re hosting at the office or renting a venue.
6:00 p.m. | Welcome drinks and conversation
Start with a short menu that guests can read at a glance. A cranberry-orange spritz and an alcohol-free cranberry-lime fizz make a festive pair. Put the menu where guests can see it before they reach the bar, and keep the bar away from the entrance so arrivals have room to mingle. Ask your venue where the mobile bar can load in and whether it provides ice, water or glassware.
6:45 p.m. | Dinner, awards and the team toast
Give your DJ or MC the names and pronunciations of speakers and award recipients before the party. Ask the DJ to keep dinner music at conversation level, then cue the microphone when the room is ready. If you’re doing a toast, give the bar team the timing so guests have a chance to grab a drink before remarks begin.
7:30 p.m. | Open the dance floor
Pick one song to get things going after the last announcement. Send your DJ a few favorites, any songs to skip and guidance on clean edits. If your event is at the office, confirm where the DJ can set up and how late amplified music can run.
