DJ & Music for Christmas party

Theme: Christmas party, tips & tricks

A Christmas party is the highlight of the year for many companies and private parties. Good food, not-so-good schnapps, cosy get-togethers and lots of fun are all part of the fun - however, it can be the music that ultimately determines whether the party will be unforgettable. Whether you're planning a company Christmas party for 300 colleagues or a private Christmas party for friends, it's the music that sets the mood and gets the dance floor going when you've finished the meals, schnapps and fun games.

Here we take a closer look at why music is so important, how to choose between DJ and live musicand the benefits of choosing professional entertainment.

Why music is essential

Imagine a Christmas party without music. Conversations quickly die down and the atmosphere loses energy. Music is the party's common thread - it ties the dinner together, creates cosiness in the breaks and ensures that the party continues with lots of dancing.

  • During dinner music acts as a mood setter, where a soft background can help guests relax and enjoy the party.
  • After dinner the music becomes the most important thing (along with the booze) to draw guests onto the dance floor and make the party last long into the night.

When you select music for Christmas partyYou don't just choose the sound - you choose the experience your guests take home with them.

DJ or live music?

The choice between DJ and live music depends on the type of party you want.

DJ for Christmas party

A DJ can customise the music to suit the mood of the evening. From great lounge music during dinner to the biggest hits to get the dance floor going. The advantage is flexibility and the ability to play whatever your heart desires.

  • Perfect for a company Christmas party with mixed age groups.
  • Easy transition between genres.
  • Music requests from guests can be quickly fulfilled.

Live music for Christmas parties

A band, duo or soloist brings a special energy and presence to the party. Live music creates moments that a playlist can't match. The audience feels the musicians and the musicians feel the audience.

  • Ideal for creating wow effects.
  • Good combination with DJ - e.g. live music early in the evening and DJ later
  • Gives your party a unique identity.

Benefits of professional Christmas party entertainment

Choosing professional musicians or DJs is an investment in the success of your party.

  • Experience: Professionals know how to read the room and adjust the music.
  • Equipment: You don't have to worry about sound, lighting and technology.
  • Peace of mind: You can rely on high-quality music delivery, whether it's a band, a duo or a DJ.

At Limunt, we only work with experienced and carefully selected musicians and DJs. This means that you get entertainment that suits your Christmas party - in style, atmosphere and budget.

Songs and classics that work

A good Christmas party is often about balance. Guests want to hear cosy carols during the meal, but they also want to dance to the greatest hits as midnight approaches. So here's our take on the right party songs that we think should be played - and don't worry if it's not to your taste, you can always check expectations with the DJ or musicians before the evening starts!

Popular songs during dinner:

  • "Last Christmas - Wham!
  • "All I Want for Christmas Is You" - Mariah Carey
  • "Driving Home for Christmas - Chris Rea

Party classics for the dance floor:

  • "Dancing Queen - ABBA
  • "Can't Stop the Feeling" - Justin Timberlake
  • "Come Back Now" - Dance Orchestra

By combining Christmas music with timeless hits, you ensure that all guests feel included and ready to dance.

The most frequently asked questions for us!

The name Limunt originated as a contraction of the words Tove Music Entertainment. We have booked music since 2016 through the concepts Jazzkollektivet, Popkollektivet, Strygerkollektivet etc., but decided in 2022 to bring the activity under Limunt and create a better coherence and clarity of our many different offers.

We handpick our musicians from the great Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and German talent pool. In the administration, we all have a background as professional musicians in a wide range of genres. Through our large network, the Danish conservatories, jam sessions throughout the country and by constantly keeping a finger on the pulse of the Danish music scene, we can ensure a high level every time. We make a virtue of onboarding each individual musician so that expectations are aligned from the start. The musicians should do what they do best: play great music - then Limunt handles all the administration around each performance.

Payment will fall after your event. You will receive an invoice from our administration.

In most cases, it is possible to extend the playing time if you do not want the music to stop at the agreed time. However, as we only book professional musicians, there may be circumstances where this is not possible, for example if the musicians have another job later in the day, have an early job the next day or a voice that can't cope any longer. If you want to make sure you have the option to book an extra set of music on the day, we recommend that you arrange this with your Limunt contact so that both you and the musicians are aware of the option.

The prices we quote are in most cases inclusive of transport (to land bridges), VAT and engineering (up to 100 people).

We customise each specific offer - booking everything from a single solo musician playing a single song to live music over several days for larger events. Try our price calculator or contact us for a no-obligation quote.

We provide substitutes in case of illness, so you don't lose the music for your event. We have built up good procedures with our many musicians and have an action plan in case of illness. Our large catalogue of musicians means that in almost all cases we can find a talented replacement in a very short time.

It's hard to give a clear answer, as we book solo musicians, traditional party bands and full orchestras of 9-10 people. A traditional band of 3-5 people should have at least 3×4 meters to stand on. A solo musician can manage on 3×2 meters. However, there are many factors that come into play when it comes to space - so it's best to have a chat with your Limunt contact. A concrete example where the above rule does not quite apply is when booking a party band: here we at Limunt always recommend placing the music in the same room as the bar, as this way you gather the activity and the party in one place - and get more people on the dance floor! If there are not quite 3×4 meters to stand on, we still recommend placing the band at the bar, even if the musicians need to sit a little close, to ensure the good party!

Typically in sets of either 2 x 45 minutes or 3 x 45 minutes. But it all depends on the function of the music: whether it's background music, a beautiful feature or party music to get the party started. We provide everything from a single heartfelt song for the wedding to music for 10 hours during a larger event.

You are always welcome to make suggestions for the repertoire - that way we get to know your taste and try to include everything possible. However, we cannot guarantee to fulfil all your wishes. We are often in dialogue with customers who are very unsure about the repertoire - and we are here to help. By booking more than 500 jobs annually, we know what works for different events. Our professional musicians are also good at reading the audience on the day, which means that changes can be made to the setlist during the performance.

When booking an event with 1-3 songs for e.g. a wedding, we take a dialogue about what is possible - and in most cases we can meet your wishes.

The jazz concept Jazzkollektivet was what started it all in 2016. Then followed Popkollektivet, Strygerkollektivet etc. In 2022 we decided to bring all our concepts and booking together on this new site!
