Planning Extraordinary Corporate Events


When planning a corporate event, choosing a unique location may be the solution to creating the perfect ambiance for your company function. Are you looking for a themed environment? Do you want a hip, trend-setting location? Will ocean views inspire your team? Maybe a historical setting with elegance and charm will fit the bill?

When planning your next event, consider some of the creative options your city has to offer.

Museums

Museums are one of the well-kept secrets in the event planning industry. With built-in themes, you can surround your guests with sports memorabilia, classic cars, airplanes and spacecraft, magnificent aquariums, science exhibits and many other historical elements. Most museums have a preferred list of professional caterers that can create a magical event that incorporates the venue, food, beverage, decor and many other elements.

Entertainment Venues

If a fun experience is ideal for your next sales meeting, teambuilding event or party, consider having your event at a location that has the entertainment built in. Treat your employees to stock car racing or flight simulators followed by a day of meetings. There's nothing like some head-to-head video game combat to get the adrenaline and creativity flowing. Bowling with your team or conducting a cooking class together can foster the feelings of camaraderie. Hold your annual sales meeting at a vineyard and then go wine tasting. Most of these locations not only include the entertainment element, but also have ample function space to conduct productive sessions or host a reception.

Yachts

Coastal communities are known for their incredible ocean views. Why not maximize them by hosting your next event on a yacht? With varying capacities available, yachts can host everything from intimate, exclusive gatherings to full-blown parties with hundreds of guests. The experienced catering teams are able to customize an event to meet your needs and create a one-of-a-kind affair. 

Historical Sites

With many sites to choose from, selecting a historical site is a great way to go back in time. Many classic locations have undergone renovations to modernize their amenities while still maintaining their timeless appearance and charm. Historical sites are often non-profit organizations as well so you can feel good about selecting them as an ideal setting. Sites can include historic mansions and buildings, naval bases, antique ferry boats and more.

Nightclubs

Nightclubs are not just for the twenty-something set any more. Companies who are looking to "knock the socks off" their employees and clients will love the cutting-edge backdrop that nightclubs can provide. State-of -the art lighting, decor and audio visual equipment are trademarks of these trend-setting clubs. Most have a dedicated event staff that can handle all of the details for your event and customize it to your needs.
