Corporate Parties In New York City

By Sara Reighard


When planning a corporate event, you are given a great opportunity to showcase your skills as a party and event planner. Often, though, these company occasions can end up being a bit tired and dull. If you truly want to dazzle potential clients at a product launch or inspire employees attending a company seminar, here are a few helpful tips.

1. Select A Killer Location

We've all heard realtors say, "location, location, location," and that is as true for event planning as it is for buying real estate. If your location is inspired, then your guests will be too. There's nothing less conducive to success than cramming people into a windowless conference room in a bland hotel. Select a cool location such as a Manhattan loft and you will provide a unique atmosphere that keeps guests relaxed and inspired.

The staff at Home Studios, Inc. offers two Manhattan lofts for rent, and each is ideal as a corporate event venue, a fundraiser venue, product launch venue or any type of company event. Their offerings include a 4,000-square-foot loft with 14-foot ceilings, a dressing room, production office and client lounge as well as two full kitchens. This loft can accommodate 175 people for standing event and 125 for a sit-down dinner. The other loft encompasses 3,000 square and includes a greenroom, a client office and a fully equipped kitchen. The space accommodates 100 for a sit-down event and about 120 for a standing event. Both include wireless internet throughout and a dedicated client phone line.

2. Don't Neglect The Food

While the timing of your event has a direct effect on the food and beverages you provide, the quality of these items should be a high priority. A breakfast event should be more than a box of muffins or donuts, and a lunch event should move beyond a typical boxed sandwich lunch. Think about buffets filled with freshly made food, perhaps even with a special theme or specific cuisine.

3. Focus On A Clear Message

Some events have a pretty simple message. After all, if you are hosting a holiday party for employees, you just want everyone to have a fun time in a stress-free, social environment. But for a product launch or a corporate seminar, you really want to decide on a single, clear message and focus your presentation around it. You can dazzle guests with a great location and delicious food, but your message should be clear and well-organized. Create a great presentation and provide additional, well-organized information for people to take home from the event.

4. For Parties, Provide Great Entertainment

If however, you are hosting a party to celebrate a recent success or just treating staff to a special event, it's nice to offer some entertainment. Consider the personalities of your staff when planning out the music, games or other offerings. A boisterous crowd might enjoy karaoke, dancing or even participating in a company talent show, while a quieter bunch might prefer soft music and a wine tasting. Don't be afraid to ask for suggestions from the employees when you are planning as it might spark some new ideas. You could even consider a theme, such as a casino night or even something quirky like a barbecue or luau theme.
