Empire era Ahsoa is putting together a huge ball with a buffet and all the trimmings. The catering staff is mostly human, with one or two of the more less threatening seeming non-human species for "flavor"; twi'liks and the like. She is working as well, though in the back where she'll have less a chance of working directly with any of the part goers.
Why is she doing this? It's an intel gather and all the party goers are Imperials. The entire event is designed to make them feel superior and off guard. A chance for them to show off how much better than everyone else they are; their peers included.
Brienne: Minstrels, and bright-colored banners, and a groaning table in a long hall in a castle, and everyone in lovely clothes and did I mention songs? Lots of songs, and lots of dancing. Everyone's invited.
...Brienne herself will be sitting in a corner trying to overcome her shyness for most of this party, but she will enjoy the sights and sounds.
Fantine: Her idea of a party is a violinist, some booze and some food, and a nice-looking area to dance in, and easy access to a courtyard or something where you can slip out for some quiet and to catch your breath.
Combeferre: "Here, Courfeyrac, you do it."
...if he really had to, it would be a fairly normal early 19th-century party that students and workers would attend. Nothing too wild, but nothing crushingly respectable either. It would be like Fantine's idea of a party, though with more food and better music and more attention to detail. He knows how these things are supposed to go, he goes to parties himself, and he enjoys them. He has no particular flair for throwing them, but he could manage if called upon.
Jehan Prouvaire: lots of poetry, lots of music, everyone in costumes, gothic-looking decorations in crimson and black, alcohol, surprisingly good food, and the occasional inadvisable drug.

She gains so much intel it's ridiculous.

Fairy Fixit: It would be a fannish affair most likely, with plenty to drink, lots of fruit, and savory mushroom and truffle based dishes.

Jay's thrown many beach parties and tends towards the extravagant light shows and music.
Bodhi would cook a lot of food but linger at the edges of the party, unsure how to talk to people.
