With Christmas around the corner and the festive season quickly approaching, we suggest you start planning your Christmas party as soon as possible. If you have already, chances are you’re knee-deep in a to-do list to feed and entertain a room full of guests! You don’t only need to think about the day itself, but you also the fact that December is often filled with office parties, family gatherings, and drinks with friends. So, whether your Christmas party is glam, traditional, or somewhere in between, here are our top tips if you’re planning a Christmas party in Surrey.

Choose a venue

It’s worth considering whether you’d like to host your Christmas party at home or at one of Surrey’s beautiful venues. For example, King Willian IV makes for a great venue. It’s a free house built in 1790 with views overlooking the Surrey Hills. The cosy interior and the log fire make it a good spot for a lunch or dinner party. Most people love the VIP room in particular due to its intimate setting and great views of the dairy cows and gardens.

Hire a live band

One of the best ways to really take the entertainment at your Christmas party to the next level is through live entertainment. Whether you want a classy Christmas jazz band to help create a festive and lively atmosphere, a swing band to get guests dancing in the brightly adorned rooms, or a string quartet to create a romantic and intimate moment under the mistletoe, you’re sure to leave a good and lasting impression with live music. With countless bookings and thousands of 5* reviews every year, we guarantee that you’ll be able to find the perfect Surrey band for hire with us.

Decide on a menu

The food is a great place to start and get excited about when planning a Christmas party in Surrey. To really get into the festive spirit, why not add some of the following options to the menu?

  • Eggnog cinnamon rolls
  • Turkey and stuffing sandwiches
  • Parmesan puffs
  • Holiday cheeseboards
  • Smoked salmon blinis
  • Honey mustard chicken sausage rolls

After last year’s cancelled Christmas celebrations, 2021’s Christmas party should go a long way in making up for it. And judging by the range of food and drink offerings in supermarkets and restaurants this year, your party will be nothing less than spectacular. With most restaurants and venues here in Surrey catering for vegetarians and vegans too, you’ll be pleased to know that no one has to feel left out.
