6 Tips for an Exciting, Engaging Corporate Party

Engagement is always the goal when hosting any kind of corporate event, but it’s even more important when it’s a party. Corporate parties are designed to reduce job stress, foster a cohesive team atmosphere, and generally make people happy to work at your company.
That’s not the outcome you’ll get with a stereo plugged into a speaker system and a tray of finger foods. Below, you’ll find plenty of tips to help you enjoy your party by starting with a strong foundation and working your way up to all the bells and whistles.
Partners in Sound Productions has years of combined experience under its belt, and we’re sharing it with you to help you plan a corporate party that is truly one for the ages.
How to Create a Memorable Corporate Party
Daily corporate life is a high-stress treadmill of constantly running at full tilt. From spreadsheets to client relations, deadlines, and all the unexpected roadblocks that can pop up from day to day, corporate life is all go, all the time.
You want your party to be one that your team talks about for weeks. It should be an event that recharges everyone and gives them a new sense of joy and enthusiasm.
Pick a Great Venue
Selecting a party venue is the first step to creating a memorable event. Choosing an impressive, exciting setting is the first step to a high-energy event. Think about your employees and choose a venue with a vibe that will connect with them. It’s a crucial part of any successful corporate party.
Planning
After you choose a venue, you’ll need to start planning your event. Begin this process as far in advance as possible to ensure you can hammer out all the fine details and roll with any unexpected issues that might come your way.
Our planning services make it easy to create an amazing party. From guided vision sessions to vendor coordination, scheduling, budget planning, and more, we can help guide you through the entire process.
Choose a Theme
You may or may not want a theme, depending on your team and the atmosphere of your company. That being said, a theme can add so much to a party. For example, an older team may enjoy an 80s-themed party. On the other hand, a younger team may like a more modern approach.
Don’t Forget the Food
Whether you begin the party with a sit-down meal or have it catered with all kinds of party snacks, a good party becomes a great one when the eats are in order.
Choose whether you’ll begin your party with a full meal, have snacks available throughout, or even better, both. You’ll want a good caterer with a reputation for delivering great food to ensure a winning party.
Choosing Entertainment
A DJ service is best for a corporate party. The goal of your party should be a high-energy reward for your team’s hard work, which means you’ll need DJ entertainment services to keep the party going.
Offering more than just music. DJ entertainers keep the party going with real-time song selection, custom playlists and branding, crowdwork, emceeing when necessary, and more.
Sending the Invite
Remember, your team works hard, so when you send that mass e-mail, keep it upbeat and energetic. Thank the team for their hard work, talk about the great quarter, year, or project it’s been, and let the team know the upcoming party is going to be one that makes all that hard work worth it.
