Planning the Office Holiday Party Bar in Tampa: Book Before Thanksgiving

If the company party is in December, the bar should be booked by Thanksgiving. Friday and Saturday evenings in the first three weeks of December are the first dates to go every year. Here is how to plan the bar side so it is the easy part.

Size by headcount, not by drinkers

Packages are set by total guest count. A 40-person office is Silver at $350 for 5 hours. Up to 75 is Gold at $475. Up to 100 is Platinum at $650. Up to 150 is Diamond at $800. Every package includes the licensed bartender, the styled mobile bar, setup and breakdown, premium mixers, ice, garnishes, cups, napkins, and straws. The company supplies the alcohol.

Keep it professional

• Two signature cocktails plus beer and wine keeps the line moving and the menu simple
• A real mocktail option, served in the same glass, for everyone who is driving or not drinking
• Licensed, monitored service: BigCee paces and can limit or refuse service, which protects the company as host
• Set a clear end time. Service runs the scheduled hours and does not stretch on request.

Office, venue, or someone's home

The mobile bar sets up in a conference room, a lobby, a rented venue, a restaurant private room, or the owner's backyard. Venues often require a licensed bartender and sometimes vendor paperwork. Send the venue name and date through the contact page and BigCee will handle what they need.

Timeline for a December party

• Now: pick two or three possible dates and check them on the availability page
• Before Thanksgiving: book online and pay the deposit to hold the date
• Two weeks out: confirm headcount. Move up a package if it grew.
• Three days out: pay the balance through the secure pay link
• The night before: alcohol handed off by 7:30 PM
• Party night: BigCee sets up, serves, and breaks down

Invoicing and paperwork

Booking online produces a signed agreement and receipts by email, which covers most expense reports. If accounting needs a formal invoice or a W-9, request it through the contact page and BigCee will follow up.

Companies across Tampa, Brandon, Wesley Chapel, Carrollwood, St. Petersburg, and Clearwater book the same way: enter the headcount on the booking page, see the price, and lock the date.
