5 Ideas for a Corporate Holiday Party that Staff and Executives Enjoy (Los Angeles Dj Serving Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena)

The end of the year is a stressful time. Holiday parties can either add to or distract from these stressors. For this reason, thought and consideration should go into holiday party ideas for work.

Corporate holiday parties are often considered the most dreadful part of the holiday season. But a well-organized corporate party can change that sentiment and make your colleagues yearn for next year's party.

If that sounds appealing to you, consider this list of corporate holiday party ideas.

Organize a Restorative Team Wellness Session

After spending the year working, a restorative wellness session may be what employees need to end the year on a high note.

A holistic yoga or meditation session can help relieve 12 months of pent-up stress. If you're searching for holiday corporate party ideas, renting a venue and hiring a yogi is all you need to have a relaxing party in Los Angeles or Burbank for a company of fewer than 50 employees.

Host a Masquerade Ball

If you want a corporate holiday party your entire company can enjoy, a masquerade party is a perfect solution. Masquerade balls are a black tie event where attendees attempt to hide their identities. They're a classic way to end the year, especially for entertainment companies.

Typically, a company would throw this holiday party for clients and the executive suite to encourage networking.

But networking can be just as effective among colleagues as it improves collaboration.

To achieve a memorable masquerade ball, you should hire a Los Angeles or Burbank DJ that understands the assignment — classy and prestigious — and curates a playlist that elevates the event.

Rent a Luxury Mansion for a Destination Getaway

If you're searching for small company holiday party ideas, a destination getaway to the Bay Area is the perfect way to spoil your staff or an executive suite.

Renting a mansion for the weekend ensures every team member has privacy while allowing you to have an event-filled weekend where you can do one or more of the corporate holiday party ideas on this list.

Visit a Winery

Burbank has a host of wineries and breweries you can visit to host a wine or beer tasting. Once again, this works best for smaller companies hoping to achieve an intimate event where colleagues can interact freely outside the confines of the office.

Throw an End-of-Year Bash

Nothing ends off the year like a bash. You can decide to throw a themed affair like a masquerade or 70s party or opt for a simple revel with a Los Angeles DJ leading the vibe of the bash. In the case of the latter, it works best if you have a younger company with employees looking to dress up for any occasion.

 

When hosting a corporate holiday party that needs a DJ, don't give the role to so-and-so from HR. If you do, the event will be memorable for all the wrong reasons. Instead, consider BWADJ.com for your DJ needs. You'll get an expertly curated playlist that suits the theme of your party and elevates the atmosphere.

Last Wednesday, I had a corporate event at the Sea by Alexander Steakhouse. This restaurant can hold multiple events at one time. (https://theseausa.com/privatedining/) My group were able to hang out in the outside patio then came in to our room. They also had a trivia team that led the group with a trivia session. I was able to hook up the trivia team into my system so everyone could hear their questions and their music. Once they were done with their trivia session, I had a karaoke machine hooked up to my system. I made sure I brought my 14 channel mixer to plug in my dj controller, two wireless microphones, two wired microphones and a channel for the trivia music.

 

Let me talk about the beauty of this location. I was able to have dinner during the trivia session and the food was the best I had at any venue. The food just melted in my mouth. The salmon and the roast beef were so perfect. The dessert was picture perfect and it was as good as it looked. At the end of the night a staff member helped me load up my suv with my dj equipment. We even had to take a flight of stairs! The best food and the most helpful staff at the Sea by Alexander Steakhouse in Palo Alto make it an easy choice in the peninsula area. It is a no brainer to have your corporate event (in house sound system and a built in projector) or private event at this venue.
