Worldwidereaction.com – Choosing entertainment for your Christmas party can be a daunting task. You have a group of 100 plus people who never socialize with each other, generally only talk to the people they know and spend most of the evening avoiding their boss! Not a situation that shouts fun! There is but a simple solution, one that is often overlooked or left until last in the event organizing process, entertainment.

The experience of worldwidereaction.com organizing entertainment events and occasions we can honestly say that any entertainment plotning can either make or break a Christmas party and this depends on how much research is done by the organizer.

Here’s a checklist to help you choose the best Christmas party entertainment for your company;

1) Find out the average age of your guests (there’s no point in booking a DJ if you guests are over 50 and will probably leave straight after the meal)

2) Find out the average gender of your guests (if most of your guests are female you probably won’t want Belly Dancers!)

3) Are you guests bringing their partners? (If so you’ll need to make the entertainment more general so having a company quiz is probably out.)

4) Question you guests what they’d like (it sounds obvious but simply asking your guests what type of entertainment they’d like is sometimes the best way to please the majority)

5) Find out your entertainment budget as early as possible (there’s no point spending hours talking to Christmas party DJ’s, bands, magicians and casinos if you know you’ve only got £100 to spend)

When you get the answers from this checklist you’re ready to start finding your entertainment.

Now comes the second conundrum, do you use an entertainment agent, go directly to the acts or use the entertainment that your venue recommend?

This can completely confuse the average Christmas party organizer.

It’s probably best to only go directly to the act if you’re only having one entertainment act, reckon of all the stress it’s going to be having three or four acts calling you on the day asking the same questions!

This is where going with an entertainment agent can help, the agent will look after all the acts so you don’t have to and they’ll deal with all those small questions that will just add to your stress!

If your venue does recommend an entertainment agent then it’s probably best to go with this option, they’ve been recommended for a reason and their acts have probably all worked at the venue before so they’ll know how to get in, set up and who to speak to if there are problems.
