We love working on corporate events, and we take pride in removing the stereotypical elements that can often make an experience feel repetitive, ordinary or even stale.
Here’s a few of our favorite ways to transform your event and create an unforgettable experience for attendees.
1. Choose a Fresh Location!
Presenting your attendees with a stunning view as they mix and mingle is an amazing ice breaker. If guests are from out of town, it’s an even more valuable element to include.

2. Upgrade the Food.
Don’t underestimate the power of creative food during the duration of the event. Corporate Events are notorious for providing underwhelming food and we love working with our clients to instead let the food be a delightful part of the experience. Whether we’re collaborating with your venue or bringing in a caterer, we love bringing flavor to your event.

3. Take it Outside!
Much of the activities that occur during corporate events happen inside – for good reason (those power points are important) ! But finding a way to incorporate the great outdoors and give attendees a break from the inside of boardrooms + ballrooms will leave a lasting impression on the overall feel of the event. Whether it’s simply a nice lunch break or even a panel discussion, there’s nothing like some fresh air.

4. Take Aways
Give your attendees more than inspiration – let them take home something to mark their experience by. We can work the favor or gift into the theme and ensure that your brand is represented well, right down to the smallest detail.

5. Live Entertainment
Regardless of the size of your event, live music and entertainment is an automatic enhancement. Some events are perfect with a trio, while some are much more suited for a full band. We especially love surprising attendees with celebrity appearances or party bands to kick off or end an event. It’s really about working with our clients to find the best suited entertainment or musicians to fit the group and the overall desired experience.

6. Details Details
It doesn’t have to be a wedding to deserve visually appealing details. We can get creative with the florals – using on brand colors and appropriate designs to really make the event feel completely cohesive and well thought out.
