The next time someone says that you are too old for games, remind them how fun a corporate casino night can be. As a built-in ice breaker and team builder, they are perfect for the holidays. Add a killer cosmopolitan or martini, and you have a holiday party with the WOW factor!
Summer time is here! These slower business months and hotter days, that have many of us looking out the window daydreaming, are a great time to find ways to bond with your team. Here are three.
1. Sundae making. Interactive stations such as this below, help break the ice, get people to play with their food (in a good way), and really bring in the feeling of summer to any type of corporate event.
2. Let them play games! Enough of office politics, these games will get everybody on the same page and are a great way to create bonds that will enable any team to come together happy once back in the office. There are so many possibilities. There is a surf machine, shown below, games for showing off golf swings or competing in a friendly basketball shoot out, or you can go all out and set up a Go-Kart course. These are great for offices with large parking lots but we can add them at any location.
3. And finally, the one everyone loves, the caricaturist. We know how everyone loves selfies! This is the ultimate selfie and gets people involved watching each other’s visage come to life in the artist’s talented hands.
Team building is not just for summer. There are a lot of cool ways to bring your team together or say “thank you” in winter as well! With the holidays just around the corner, many prices will be going up soon. But get in touch with us now regarding your holiday event and we’ll be sure to put the freeze on them so your event can be fun, and affordable!
Wow!!!!!!! What an experience. Having a complete tour with Event Manager Cheryl Martin & renowned Chef Manfred Lassahn. The ambiance, presentation and food could not be any sexier!

Having an event on the Fourth of July is a great way to celebrate with your company, your friends, and your family. People are in the mood to celebrate not only summer, but also this sizzling holiday. Unfortunately, the color scheme can be rather, well, limiting! Here are some ideas to add sparkle, and the WOW factor – to patriotic red, white and blue.
This is a great time to add a lot of sparkly embellishments … no such thing as overdoing it on this holiday!
If you want to go classic and a bit more subdued, here is a nice way to do it. Start with a blue linen, white chairs, and flowers. Add red plates and stemware to finish this look in an All-American style!
A white palette really makes these red accents pop!
My gift to you: A real “wow” of an idea! A patriotic swag bag is hot, hot, hot! Don’t wait until the end of your event to give it out. Sparklers, a small bag of red, white, and blue jellybeans, noisemakers, or a Solo cup emblazoned with a Fourth of July detail, creates a great icebreaker. Guests will have a lot of fun with the swag during the party. If you are having a corporate event, you can brand the items in your swag bag with your company logo to create a long-lasting memory.
This is the time for indulgences!
A signature drink as guests arrive is always a classy touch, and very welcoming! Create a tray filled with red (Cosmos), white (Martinis), and blue (Curacao Martinis) drinks to add that “wow” touch!
If you are planning a Fourth of July wedding, I love this red, white and blue look by Nisie Vorachard, the Floral and Design Guru of Southern California. Even if you are planning it for this year, there is still time to talk to your lighting designer and add a pop of color that is so effective here.
Finally, as it’s always good to end on a sweet note, this Strawberry Bavarian is a gorgeous addition to any dessert table!
From our team to yours, have a happy — and safe — Fourth of July!
