How it works

1Ask TannerThe date, the place, the group size and the party.
2The teamTanner matches the bar, the DJ, the hosts and security to the group.
3One priceThe staff with the villa or yacht, priced together, the same day.
4On the dayThe bar is set up before you arrive, and the music starts on time.

Who's on the party team?

Everyone a party needs, for a villa, a yacht or an event, booked through Tanner as one team that already knows how to work together. Up to about 20 guests, one bartender keeps up; above that, a bar team of two or more keeps the queue short. Add waiters for a sit-down dinner, a guard once the party runs late, and an organiser when the day has more than one moving part: a yacht in the morning, the villa in the afternoon, the club at night.

Hosts and brand ambassadors join the party at pool parties, yacht days and launches, and get the dancing started; see party models. Give Tanner your headcount, and he sizes the team to it.

The bar, brought to you

Spirits, beer, champagne, mixers, ice and glassware, set up before you walk in. The party bartender mixes and pours all day, until the villa's music cut-off. Champagne crowd or beer crowd, the bar is stocked for it.

Shops can only sell alcohol from 11am to midnight, the Department of Disease Control says (from 29 May 2026), so there's no top-up run after midnight. That's why the bar is bought to your list before the party starts.

Name your drinks, and the bar is built around them.

Do you need security?

For a big or late party, a guard keeps the gate, the neighbours and the group calm.

Every guard we book is licensed under Thailand's Security Business Act, in plain clothes, and there all evening.

For senior guests or a high-profile event, book close protection for the whole trip.

Put a guard on the gate, and it's taken care of.

When should you book?

With the villa or the yacht, and at least 2 weeks ahead from December to February.

The best DJs, bartenders and photographers go first in peak season, on New Year's Eve and in Songkran week. Tomorrowland Thailand runs 11 to 13 December 2026 near Pattaya, DJ Mag reports, and the Full Moon Party lands on 24 November and 24 December, so book as soon as your dates are set for those weeks.

From May to October, a smaller team comes together in a few days.

Ask Tanner which of your dates are busy.

A birthday that runs itself

The birthday host shouldn't spend the day behind the bar. Our bartender pours, the DJ builds to the cake, and the photographer catches the speech.

Tanner's pick for 12 by a pool: the DJ, the open bar and the photographer. That's the team that makes it feel like a party, not a house share.

Book the chef for the birthday dinner when you book the villa; the good ones fill up first. See birthday parties in Thailand, and ask Tanner who's free on your date.

Company parties and launches

A team party, a product launch or a client dinner needs the same crew, just sharper: waiters on the floor, a bar that never runs dry, hosts at the door.

The organiser keeps the timings, so the speeches start on time and the music comes up after.

For senior guests, add close protection for the whole evening. Price the team for your headcount in one message.

The team on a yacht

The captain and crew run the boat. Our bartender and DJ run the party, so the music is up the moment you leave the pier.

On a yacht the bar is set up before you board, ice and all, because there's no shop to run to at sea. Wait to open the first bottle until you're aboard: the Alcoholic Beverage Control Committee's pier notice has banned drinking at public piers since 12 May 2026.

See yacht charter in Thailand, and ask Tanner to put the crew on your boat.

Questions

Before you book the team

What party staff can I hire?

Bartenders, waiters, a DJ, hosts, security and an organiser who runs the day, for villas, yachts, penthouses and company events anywhere in Thailand. Tanner sizes the team to your headcount.

Does the bartender bring the bar?

Yes. The bartender arrives with spirits, beer, champagne, mixers, ice and glassware, set up before you arrive, and pours until the villa's music cut-off.

How many staff do we need?

One bartender covers up to about 20 guests, and a bar team takes over above that. Tanner adds waiters for a sit-down dinner and a guard for a late party (checked October 2026).

Who are the party models?

Professional hosts and performers who join the party as brand ambassadors, welcome the group and keep the energy up with the DJ. Tanner quotes them with your party.

How much does it cost?

The DJ, the bar, the bartender and the photographer have set prices, listed on this page. Hosts, waiters and the organiser are priced to your trip, as one price.

Do we need security for a villa party?

For a big or late party, yes. A licensed guard keeps the gate and the neighbours calm, so the party doesn't end early with a knock at the door.

Which cities do you cover?

Anywhere in Thailand, most often Bangkok, Phuket, Pattaya and Koh Samui, for villas, yachts, penthouses and events. Tell Tanner where you're staying, and the team comes to you.

Can I hire party staff for a birthday?

Yes. A DJ, a bartender and a photographer turn a villa birthday into a party, and a private chef can cook the birthday dinner. Tanner books them with the villa.

Can you staff a company party in Thailand?

Yes. Waiters, a bar, hosts and an organiser for team parties, launches and client dinners, with close protection for senior guests. The organiser keeps the timings, so speeches start on time.
