komenci is a transitive verb but there is no direct object in this sentence. The party is itself starting, the party isn't starting a thing. We haven't got something like "La festo komencos esti laŭta je la dudek-dua horo".
"Oni komencos la feston" = "La festo komenciĝos"

There was another question that used "1 o'clock" and the answer was "je la unua", so why do we have to add "horo" in this answer? Would it be wrong to simply say "je la dudek-dua"?
