The summer season is almost here, and that means an uptick in summer-themed events! Corporate parties are crucial to company culture, but if you’re looking to elevate your summer corporate event with a theme that’s sure to make your guests excited, then we’re ready with some of our favourite ideas. Ready to plan your summer corporate event?
White Party
If you’re looking for something that feels luxurious and straight out of a magazine, then a White Party theme might be just what your corporate event needs. The concept is simple: guests must come dressed in white, and all the signage, floral, and general decor of the event is white.
This type of corporate event would best be suited to an evening or a weekend afternoon, and gives your business the chance to celebrate your employees and offer them a chance to mingle and network outside of the office.
To keep that elegant and luxurious feel throughout the night, we’d recommend passed appetizers and flutes of champagne for cocktail hour, a multi-course plated dinner, and of course an open bar! Hire a DJ to keep the party going into the late night, and don’t forget to set up a photo booth that’s on-theme as well.
To take it to the next level, a white party also makes for a great fundraiser or charity with silent auctions and proceeds supporting a local charity.
Tropical Vibes
You can bring the tropical outdoor vibes indoors with this summer corporate party theme! When you can’t take your entire company on a corporate trip to Hawaii, you bring Hawaii to them. This type of event can be done at any time of day, and has a ton of flexibility in how you implement it.
For a relaxed daytime event, consider a buffet lunch, team-building activities, and tropical plant decor everywhere! You can use your daytime corporate event as a way to celebrate summer while also connecting with your team.
For an evening dinner event, pull out all the stops with tropical signature drinks, delicious food stations, complimentary leis for every attendee, and fun entertainment like traditional Hula dancers. This is your company’s chance to unwind in the funnest way possible.
Summer Speakeasy
For a corporate party that feels like it’s from another time and that’s sure to impress your employees, consider hosting a summer speakeasy. Bring your corporate party back to the 1920s with an unforgettable summer evening that’s exactly on theme.
To host a speakeasy-themed corporate event, we recommend a cocktail bar serving summery drinks, a live jazz band, a dapper dress code, a delicious seated meal, and all the candles. To make your event feel more authentic, you can require your attendees recite a password before they’re allowed in.
Corporate events don’t have to be boring, and hosting them in the summer gives you so many options for themes, entertainment, and overall direction. To host your corporate event at St. Joseph’s Banquet & Conference Centre and trial one of our recommended themes, contact us today!
