4 steps to a memorable office party.
A successful office party is more than just a business meeting: it’s always about celebrating successes, thanking your teams and sharing a convivial moment outside the usual setting.
However, to make a lasting impression while retaining a touch of elegance, rely on original ideas and quality experiences. Here’s how to organize an event that combines fun and professionalism, and will be remembered for years to come.
Step 1: A refined yet original culinary experience
To create that “wow” effect and immerse your staff in a refined and original culinary experience, La Distinction sets itself apart.
A remarkable appetizer
Elegant amuse-bouches accompanied by a wine pairing in harmony with the exquisite flavors. A perfect way to let employees relax before activities and lunch.
An interactive culinary show: Gourmet BBQ
Imagine a gourmet BBQ with top-quality local meats grilled in front of you by our seasoned chefs. It’s a sight to delight the senses and tantalize the taste buds.
Sumptuous desserts or an ice-cream stand
Depending on the theme of your office party, consider offering a table of sumptuous desserts. Every bite should be a decadent adventure. Alternatively, treat yourself to an ice cream stand or sweet station.
Wines and spirits
Let your high-end caterer select the spirits and the perfect food and wine pairing for you. Your taste experience will be enhanced tenfold, and everyone’s memories will be even more vivid.
An evening surprise: fire and marshmallows
If the weather is kind, at La Distinction we even offer the Campfire Package. This includes fire, marshmallows, coffee, tea and herbal teas. A unique experience that will allow your staff to end the evening by creating exceptional moments of complicity.
Stage 2: Spectacular surroundings and enchanting scenery
Use rooms in already spectacular surroundings. That way, you won’t have to do much to create the right setting for a successful evening.
While facilities located directly in the city can be attractive for their ease of access, sometimes it’s enough to find a gem that’s a little set back, like La Distinction in Joliette. Rooms with terraces, direct access to the courtyard, a pond, a big top – the possibilities are varied and the site exceptional. People remember it, and keep coming back.
Step 3: Creating an unforgettable ambience
Enhance your office party by creating a distinctive ambience. Don’t overdo the decor, apart from a base in your corporate colors if you wish. Instead, personalize with small touches that make a big difference:
- Choose matching tablecloths, napkins and table decorations for an impeccably set table.
- Also consider carefully selected background music to complement the festive atmosphere and create an elegant backdrop.
- A personalized thank-you card and gift for each employee.
- Appropriate lighting as the evening progresses.
By focusing on these details, you’ll ensure a memorable evening that reflects your corporate culture. It will leave a lasting impression on your guests.
Step 4: Quality animation
Finally, make your office party truly unique by offering a one-of-a-kind entertainment experience.
You might consider:
- Movie theme: a movie quiz by departmental team. Ask the AI to provide you with questions and answers to help you create your quiz.
- Video games: a short tournament on a giant screen of old games (e.g. Mario Kart). Find the simplest and funniest games, or go with a Wii for the more physical side and get people moving.
- Culinary theme: people have to taste different bites and guess as many ingredients as possible. The difficulty level consists of being blindfolded.
Give free rein to your creativity to personalize every aspect of the event. You’ll offer your guests an exceptional, memorable experience that reinforces the sense of belonging, while celebrating in a completely different context.
