Party season is upon us again with Christmas nearly here! Christmas time can be great fun: the drinks are flowing and people are at their most joyous, ready to spread the festive cheer…but like all good parties, Christmas parties can take a bit of organising. With the help of this blog, your Christmas party planning shouldn’t be too difficult. Whether it is a corporate event, festive wedding, or family affair, here’s how to plan the party of the season with our Essex mobile bar hire:

Pick the right venue

When it comes to Christmas party planning, you’ll want to start by considering the location of your event. Luckily, with mobile bar hire, picking the right venue has never been easier. No matter if it’s from home or the office, or if it’s an outdoor marquee, mobile bars are adaptable so you can choose the space that best suits you. 

Choose a theme to match the bar

Choosing a theme for your Christmas party planning can help bring the magic to your special event. Luckily, we have different styles of bars available to fit in with any theme so whether you need something modern-looking or something more rustic or fitting with vintage styles, we have you covered. 

Choose the right cocktails

Choosing the right cocktails for your Christmas party can be half the fun! From festive spritzes to our Cherry Negroni,  or our Choc Orange Espresso Martini, we have a range of cocktails available. Another option is that you can choose your own- just let us know what you’re signature cocktails are and we’ll make it happen. Supposing that you need inspiration for your drinks menu you can read our blog on Christmas cocktails from Beyond Bar Hire. 

Food pairing with cocktails

One way to set yourself apart from the rest would be to pair your food with your cocktails. No matter if you opt for canapes, a three-course meal or street food, this can be easily done and will make your event feel well-organised and please your guests immensely. Check out our recommended supplier Plenty Of Thyme for all types of catering needs.

Employ fully trained staff

Opting for our fully trained members of staff can save you a lot of fuss and hassle on the day and make your Christmas party planning a lot easier. From mixologists to waiting staff that you can trust, you can tailor your staff options to match your requirements and rest assured that you’ll be receiving great service.

Entertainment and activities

One thing you’ll need to complete your party is good entertainment, whether you’re opting for a DJ, saxophonist or a band. Perhaps you have Christmas activities planned like Father Christmas meetings for the children. You should ensure that you have incorporated enough space into your layout plans for the event and that you allow enough time for the acts to set up and pack away.

Early invites

When it comes to your Christmas party planning, you may want to consider things like getting invites out early. By getting your event invites out as soon as possible, you ensure that people are prepared for your party and keep themselves available. You may need to give your guests information on the location and how to get there, as well as any dress codes or anything that they may need to bring with them.

Manage a budget

For your Christmas party planning, you’ll need to manage a budget, with everything from the DJ to catering to pay out for. Fortunately, our mobile bars make a cheaper alternative to renting out a venue with a bar. They’re affordable all whilst offering you premium quality drinks and service.
