DJ for company Christmas party – plan your Xmas event in Zurich

You want your company Christmas party in Zurich to be more than just “nice”? The fastest lever is a clear music and flow concept. As a DJ for corporate events in Zurich, I’ve supported countless Xmas parties – here’s your guide to a stress‑free event everyone will remember.

Why music matters at Xmas events

• Mixed age groups – one night needs to connect generations.
• Team building – sing‑along moments bond people.
• Brand moment – the year’s last impression carries culture & values.

Suggested flow for a company Christmas party with a DJ

1) Reception & apéro (60–90 min) • Goal: arrival, networking, relaxed pulse. • Sound: lofi, nu‑disco, soulful house, acoustic covers. • Volume: conversation‑friendly.

2) Dinner (60–120 min) • Goal: atmosphere + focus on food/talks. • Sound: lounge, instrumentals, subtle Xmas edits. • Tip: light theme per course, e.g. “jazzy winter”, “Scandi chill”.

3) Program: awards, quiz, year recap (30–45 min) • Wireless mic with clean gain and feedback safety (I bring the setup). • Music cues for walk‑ons/applause. • Pro tip: keep speeches to 3–5 minutes – energy stays high.

4) Party (120–180 min) • Warm‑up: 80s/90s classics to reach everyone. • Peak: house/pop edits and current floor‑fillers. • Finale: all‑hands sing‑alongs (ABBA, Whitney, Robbie Williams).

Music strategy for company events

• Golden trio: 1) classics (80s/90s), 2) 00s/2010s, 3) current hits/house.
• Generation bridges: Michael Jackson → Bruno Mars; Whitney → Dua Lipa; Queen → Kygo edits.
• Don’ts: heavy EDM at the wrong moment; long unfamiliar remixes early on.

Tech checklist (tick off)

• PA sized to the room (I calculate levels & coverage).
• Microphone
• Ambience lights (warm) + dancefloor lights (moving accents).
• dB rails: loud enough to feel, quiet enough for rules.
• Backup: redundant playback paths + spare mic.

Room & logistics

• Dancefloor visible and central – not “next door”.
• DJ booth close to the crowd, not in a corner.
• Schedule: setup before guests arrive; soundcheck with the orga (test cues).

Playlist starters (inspiration)

Apéro/Dinner: Rhye – “Open”, FKJ – “Tadow”, Møme – “Aloha”, Blank & Jones – “Warm Weather”. Party warm‑up: Michael Jackson – “Don’t Stop…”, Whitney – “I Wanna Dance…”, Earth, Wind & Fire – “September”. Peak: Robin S – “Show Me Love”, Dua Lipa – “Don’t Start Now”, Calvin Harris – “How Deep Is Your Love”, Purple Disco Machine – “Hypnotized”. Finale: ABBA – “Gimme! Gimme!”, Robbie Williams – “Angels”, Oasis – “Wonderwall”.
