Karaoke Machine Rental for Your Office Holiday Party: A Planner's Guide

Karaoke has become the go-to entertainment for office holiday parties, and for good reason. It gets people talking, it's fun to watch even if you never sing, and it turns a dinner into a party. If you're planning this year's company celebration, here's what to know before you rent a karaoke machine.

What to Look for in a Karaoke Rental

• A big song library. Your team will look for everything from Mariah Carey to Bon Jovi to the song from last summer. A small library means a lot of "we don't have that." Our karaoke packages include over 25,000 karaoke tracks with on-screen lyrics.
• Music between singers. A karaoke machine that goes silent when nobody's singing kills the room. Ours is a full digital jukebox too, with more than 50,000 songs, so music keeps playing all night.
• Sound that fills the room. A home karaoke speaker gets lost in a banquet hall. Our systems use DJ-quality speakers.
• Reliable microphones. Wired mics mean no dead batteries and no dropouts halfway through the big finale.
• Someone else setting it up. Delivery, setup and pickup are included with every package in our service area.

Which Package Fits Your Party?

All of our karaoke packages include the jukebox, karaoke library and microphones. The difference is the size of the setup:

• Small Party Jukebox + Karaoke ($300): great for small offices, a department party or a restaurant back room.
• Premium Jukebox + Karaoke ($375): our most popular package, with a sound-active party light, built for a full dance and karaoke party.
• Premium Jukebox + Karaoke + Extra TV ($400): the Extra TV lets one person pick the next song while someone else sings, so the line keeps moving at bigger parties.

Not sure? For a company party where karaoke is a big part of the night, the Extra TV is worth it.

How to Get Coworkers to Sing

• Have a volunteer go first. A manager or a known extrovert willing to take one for the team gets the ball rolling.
• Start with group songs. "Don't Stop Believin'," "Sweet Caroline" and holiday classics get the whole room singing along.
• Encourage duets. Singing with a partner is a lot less intimidating than going solo.
• Keep the music going. Let the jukebox play between singers so karaoke feels like part of the party, not a performance.

Planning Details

• Timing: we guarantee the music is playing by your start time or your rental is free. We set up earlier in the day and coordinate with your venue.
• Pickup: standard pickup is the next day, so you don't have to rush anyone out.
• Playlists: build up to five playlists online before the party. They're due the Tuesday before your event.
• Booking: request a quote online, review the agreement and pay a $100 deposit to hold your date. The balance is due on the event date.
