You're leading a group of people that is decorating for a wedding. You discuss the plans with the group and tell each person what to do. Now it's time to break up and start doing the work, so you say:
All right – let's get to work.
all right
This is a transition that's often used in spoken English to shift between one mode of conversation and another.
For example, if a speaker was giving instructions before but now wants to give a signal to start working, he or she can say:
All right - let's get to work.
This phrase can also be used when you've been debating something and now want to announce your final decision.
get to work
This means to begin working. It gives the impression that there is some work that needs to be done, and you need to start on it. Of course, these same words can also mean "get to (the place where I) work".
