Firstly, is it a daytime or evening event? Chances are, if it is daytime and in an office, then alcohol maybe off limits. Maybe what you need is a small jazz band, three or four pieces, playing a mixture of Xmas tunes and other tunes for the participants. In this situation you are probably not wanting the band to take centre stage, but more to be part of the Xmas “festivities” If you hire a band for such a party then you can reasonably expect your people to have a relatively productive afternoon!

Maybe the party is close in time and date to the Xmas holidays and need for sobriety is not quite as important. In situations like this you could go for either swing band hire, jazz band hire or even party band hire. Make sure you have room for your band. They need to be in a position where they are not being jostled by party revellers! Think about themes. A New Orleans Band works well as does a Burlesque theme. Also what about a Prohibition Jazz Band, also known as either a Great Gatsby Jazz Band or a Speakeasy Jazz Band

On many occasions our band, The Mississippi Swamp Dogs, is asked to participate for “Joiner” parties. These are usually evening affairs when smaller businesses come together and combine with other small businesses in sharing Xmas suppliers. So the jazz band is shared as is the catering and other entertainers. Having the right repertoire is essential for such parties. You need tunes that everyone knows and wants to dance to. People want to have a good time but are aware that there may be some scrutiny from other members of staff!! This can mean that not every Xmas party is the wild affair you would hope for!
