About Office Parties

An office party is a perfect opportunity for companies to thank their hard-working employees. And it’s not just a token gesture either — the best work parties are anticipated throughout the year, and when done right can be fantastic fun.

The first thing you need to do when planning an office party is to decide on a theme. From Halloween to Christmas, end-of-year gatherings to celebrating landing a big client, the theme you choose will vary depending on the reason for your celebration.

Once you’ve locked in a theme, it’s time to start comparing the best office party spaces near you. Here’s how to find a venue that will have you and your colleagues partying all night long.

The Best Office Party Venues

There’s no one type of office party venue that is the best for everyone. The right space for your party will vary depending on the theme you choose, the atmosphere you want, and the reason for the celebration. But the good news is that no matter what your party plans may be, chances are there’s a venue out there to suit your needs.

• Restaurants
  If you want to keep things a little bit formal, host your party in the private dining room of an exclusive restaurant. That way you can treat your team to a gourmet dinner, fine wine, good conversation, and a private environment in which to celebrate.
  
  
• Bars
  Sometimes an office party can be a chance for coworkers to let their hair down, make new friendships, and generally have a great time together. If that’s the sort of ambiance you want, a bar is the ideal office party space. With its dark and gloomy surroundings, this original LA dive bar is an authentic spot for a private party.
  
  
• Gardens and Outdoor Patios
  From glamorous affairs amid landscaped gardens to casual alfresco celebrations in outdoor courtyards and patios, the opportunities presented by outdoor parties are many. Just make sure the weather where you live is going to be good on that day.
  
  
• Hotel Function Rooms
  Hotel function rooms are perfectly practical office party locations. They’ve got all the furniture, equipment, and experienced staff you need for a successful event, and they can be easily tailored to suit different themes and occasions.
  
  
• Lofts
  There’s something about loft-style spaces that makes them perfect for events. With timber floors, high ceilings, exposed brickwork, and abundant natural light, they create a warm and welcoming environment for an office party with a difference.

What to Look for in Office Party Spaces

Choosing an office party venue is a little more involved than just picking the first function room you find. There are several factors you need to consider to make sure you find a space that has everything you need (and nothing you don’t) for a memorable office party. Here are the key issues you’ll need to take into account.

• Location
  Think about your colleagues and where they’re coming from. Will they be coming via car or public transport, and how far will they be traveling? Then look for a venue in a convenient, central location that’s easy to get to for as many people as possible.
  
  
• Size
  You’ll need a venue with enough space for all guests to fit comfortably, but bigger doesn’t always mean better. A small party in a large space can be severely lacking in atmosphere, so match the size of the venue to your guest list.
  
  
• Atmosphere
  The best office party space is one that contributes to the party vibe. Every venue has its own unique atmosphere, which is a product of everything from the history of the space to the decor used. Regardless of whether you want something casual and laid-back or something to suit a black-tie affair, make sure the venue you choose matches the ambiance you want.
  
  
• Facilities
  Now it’s time to check out the finer details of what the space has to offer. You may want to check parking accommodations, how many bathrooms there are, and if it has the furniture and equipment you need. The list of must-haves will vary from one party to the next, so make sure you have a clear idea of what you need in a space before you start comparing your options.
  
  
• Venue Staff
  Finally, pay special attention to how easy it is to work with venue staff, and how willing they are to accommodate your special requests. If they’re experienced, professional, and friendly, hosting an office party can be a whole lot easier.
