Year-end parties, summer socials and themed galas produced end to end — venue, catering, entertainment, décor and shuttle logistics handled so your team can actually attend the party.
Most corporate holiday programs fall into one of these three shapes. Each can be scaled up or down depending on headcount and budget.
The main event on most corporate calendars. Full-venue buyouts with seated or standing service, live entertainment and often an awards or speech component.
Rooftop receptions, boat cruises, poolside events and outdoor gatherings with a lighter, more relaxed tone than the December program.
Black-tie dinners, masquerade balls, casino nights and other themed programs with production design, costuming and full-show staging.
December is the most competitive month on the corporate calendar. Summer is close behind. Here is when we recommend starting each type of program.
The best venues and top bands are held by July for December dates. Book by June for full venue choice.
Rooftops and boat cruises sell out by spring. Book by February for outdoor venues and evening timing.
Six months is the minimum for production-heavy programs. Custom fabrication adds two to four weeks.
We regularly deliver on compressed timelines when venues allow. Tell us your date on the first call.

"December is the month everyone in this business dreads. It is also the month we do our best work — because the calendar forces clarity. There is no room for a vague plan."
