Holiday season is quickly approaching, and that means companies are slowly getting into the swing of planning corporate parties for colleagues and clients. As a Toronto DJ, I’ve had my fair share of playing at company events- big and small, and know what the real crowdpleasers are. So if you’re ready to have a great time, and to impress everyone who walks through the doors, keep reading!

A Rockin’ DJ
There’s no question that a party without a DJ is just plain dull! A well-known Toronto DJ with great reviews should be able to play music that knows how to pump up the energy in the room, and knows which songs are popular among the guests. They should have an updated playlist of current songs, but also a knowledge of classics that older generations will appreciate as well.

Unlikely Entertainment
Surprise everyone with a live party percussionist during the party or a magician during cocktail service. It’s a great way to create a memorable event and to keep the party going. Nothing engages people more than adding a little flair to the event! Trust me when I say that people will be talking about it for weeks!

Themes Please 
Who doesn’t love a good theme party? There are so many to pick from whether it’s Great Gatsby, 80’s or Las Vegas. It generates a lot of buzz before the event, and gets everyone excited during the event to see how the execution and how everyone’s costumes turned out!

Food, Food & More Food!
Besides entertainment, food is one of the most important factors in a successful event. Currently long charcuterie boards are all the rage. Pick an event venue or vendor that specializes in food and late night food stations that serve up killer eats! Extra points if the food is international, and interesting!

As a corporate event DJ in Toronto, these are some of the tips I have for a successful event for your upcoming company holiday party. Put them into good use, and get ready for the best party yet!
