At this time, it is nearing the mark of quarter 4. Holiday parties could add or decrease the stress of the holiday season. For this reason, here are some holiday party ideas for work for the bay area.

  Setting up a corporate party can seem like a second job and be dreadful if it is not organized. But a holiday party that is well organized can be bash for your staff can look forward to every year.

Set Up a Restorative Wellness Session

After putting in a hard year’s efforts, this is what the doctor ordered to recharge the batteries and end on a positive note.

Why not have a holistic yoga or meditation session to help alleviate the year long stress. If space is needed there are many spaces that can be rented. It would need to be indoors since it would be cold outside if you are doing yoga but then again if meditation is taking place then the Bay Area has plenty of outside spaces that are available. All you need is hiring a yogi to have a memorable relaxing event in the San Jose or Sunnyvale area if your company is not too big.

Why Not Have a Masquerade Ball?

A very fun event to throw is a masquerade ball that the whole company can partake in. These balls are black tie events that folks dress up nice but they keep their faces covered so no one knows who they are. This will be a company community building event.

  To max out of this Masquerade Ball then a Bay Area Dj that fits the atmosphere of class that can create a playlist that fits the mood that can make the event to be epic.

Duh! Hit Up a Winery!

Napa is a few hours away but if you want to keep it local then go down to Morgan Hill or Gilroy. Someplace like Fortino Winery would be an excellent place to get some tasty wine and to have a great party. Your folks won’t be trapped by the company walls and can be truly free.

End the year with a Bash!

Nothing can be better than ending the year with an epic party. As the coordinator, you can select what kind of theme you want to have with your Bay Area dj running the atmosphere.

When doing a holiday event that requires a dj, do not just pick any Dj. The dj is the one who sets the mood for the night. Make sure you select a dj who will strive to make the night memorable. Call Black and White Affair DJ services to make your party one to remember and makes it stress-free for everyone!

So you're thinking of throwing a Halloween party this year? That's an excellent idea because, in all honesty, adults don't have enough reasons to party.

How to Book a Halloween DJ in September

If you're hosting an event in October, September is already considered late by most party planning standards. But, it's also when most Halloween party planning occurs. So, you'll have to have a strategy to guarantee you're getting the best entertainment.

Ask Friends and Colleagues for Recommendations

You can start your search for a Halloween DJ by approaching friends and colleagues for recommendations. A few names and numbers should help you launch your search for a Halloween DJ. But you should also get a portfolio from their website or social media before you move to hire them for the event.

Stalk DJs' Instagram Accounts

You'd be amazed at how many good LA DJs you can find with an Instagram search.

Most DJs will promote their sets, pricing, and availability on Instagram, so it's easy to ascertain if your DJ will meet your requirements for the gig. You can also quickly ascertain if they're available through a quick DM.

Consider an Out of Town DJ

You may be able to get a DJ with availability on the weekend before or the day of Halloween if you consider an out-of-town DJ.

If you can't get an out-of-town DJ, you can try to get a new-to-town DJ, who has the experience, and you can save yourself a lot of headaches.

The Two Reasons You Should Book Your Halloween DJ NOW

If you leave booking your DJ to the eleventh hour, you're guaranteeing you'd get the worst DJ, or your DJ is a no-show. There are rare instances where a DJ comes through both with their physical presence and their playlist, and there are two reasons for that:

October is One of the Busiest Months for Event DJs

October is one of the busiest months for DJs. During the month, there are hundreds of corporate or personal events on any given day, with the DJ being the only source of entertainment. Most DJs will be working every day of the week, whether that's planning the playlists or playing at an event. On busy days, a DJ may — in some instances —have two gigs, one in the afternoon and another in the evening, and one starting later in the night.

Weddings Have Taken all the Venues and Saturdays

Summer and Spring weddings are taking a backseat to fall weddings, especially in Los Angeles. The heat is unbearable in summer, so a fall wedding has the benefit of cooler weather and gorgeous autumnal foliage.

If you don't want to be competing with brides and event planners, get in contact with a DJ ASAP.

Rather than be disappointed by the selection of DJs because you only booked your Halloween DJ in October, opt to book by the beginning of September and have a few backup choices in case your first choice doesn't follow through.
