Holiday party season is short. Most companies want the same handful of Friday and Saturday nights in December. Here is a simple timeline.
The timeline
- July to August: Pick your date and venue. Large companies and popular dates book now.
- September to October: The best time to book entertainment. Most December weekends are still open.
- November: Weekend dates get scarce. Weeknights are still available.
- December: Last-minute bookings sometimes work, but options are limited.
Consider a January party
More companies now hold their party in January. Dates are easier to get, venues cost less, and your team is not burned out from a packed December calendar. It still feels like a celebration of the year.
What to have ready when you reach out
- Your date and rough start time
- City and venue, if you have one
- Guest count
- What you want: magic at the reception, a stage show, hosting, or all three
