Corporate Holiday Parties: One Bright, Happy Holiday Season

Just a few holiday seasons ago, companies across the board were scaling back on holiday events in light of economic constraints—or cancelling them altogether, deeming the celebrations either needlessly extravagant or highly inappropriate in the wake of layoffs. 

Today, holiday parties are back in full, merry swing! 

Industry pros across the country echo the sentiment that corporate holiday party bookings and budgets are on an upswing, reporting that some companies are even once again investing in multiple events and big-name headliners. With the improving economy, more corporations will be throwing holiday parties this year. In fact, many HR departments are already deep into planning their holiday get-togethers - with many celebrations already underway!

Indeed, Holiday Season 2015 is shaping up to be quite the corporate celebration!

According to a recent article in BizBash, disco balls are even replacing traditional ornaments as the holiday decoration of the season, with traditional holiday greenery taking on inventive decorative uses. Not to worry, pinecones and evergreens will never go out of style when it comes to corporate holiday parties, but this year unexpected themes like Studio 54-inspired bashes and gold details - instead of icy silver embellishments - offer fun corporate party twists on tradition.

“People want to celebrate—the increase in the number of parties we booked last year grew dramatically over the year prior, and this year the pace is ­already picking up,” reports CJ DiRoma, CEO of Station Avenue Productions. “A few short holiday seasons ago, even if a company had the ability to host a lovely holiday event, they many times transitioned that investment in other places - that is not the case this holiday season.”
