The festive season is over, the bunting is down and the crackers have already been bought in the January sales for next year. That’s right – while winter is upon us, we Brits can barely think of anything else other than turkey, stuffing and what we’re going to do for the big break next time around.
Some bigger companies may already be choosing their Christmas party venue in London – and with such a huge amount of planning to do, even when that planning is left to a third party company, it’s hardly surprising. Large themed parties don’t just happen overnight – they need careful planning and attention to come into being.
In some cases, of course, a bigger company will simply rebook with the Christmas party venue in London it has already used. This is primarily the case where a company has booked and enjoyed a Christmas party so much that it sees no reason for going to another venue and trying its luck there. Another British tradition that – if it ain’t broke, so the saying goes, then why bother trying to fix it?
Most corporate ...
... style Christmas party venues offer a range of options. The basic idea remains the same – you get the same amount of time to party, and there is always musical entertainment (whether that entertainment is a live band or a DJ). The real difference between party packages is found in the food.
The type of Christmas party chosen by a business may be defined by what else it has already done for the festive period. There is, for example, a difference between a Christmas party (whose basic point is to get everyone loosened up and having fun) and a Christmas lunch or dinner. Often, the main meal event will be held at lunchtime in a pub or restaurant – and any partying will be done in the evening, either on the same day or on a second day.
The Christmas party venue in London, then, may provide canapés and buffet food – but may not provide a full meal. That depends on where the venue is located and what its primary purpose is.
Where a Christmas party venue does not provide a main meal, it is likely (as noted) to offer a selection of different food choice. These may include cold buffet food; hot buffet food; a canapé reception; and bowl food.
The venue may also offer a number of different drinks options. There is likely to be a paid bar in place; but free cocktails or glasses of champagne are the norm for a Christmas party package, which is after all designed (again as noted) to get people feeling good and in the mood for some dancing.
Some of the more established Christmas party venues may also offer year round party facilities, which make them ideal for staff awards ceremonies and other important business party events. This in itself can help the business choose a venue for the following festive season – by sampling its wares during the year, it may make its choice for the end of that year.
