Corporate Party Entertainment ideas

Summer is a great reason to host a party! Client entertainment or employee appreciation opportunities abound when the days are long and the evenings are warm. This is a good time of year to get creative with the venue, no longer confined to the indoors. So take your party out to the pier, the garden, or the roof. Get together a corporate group and get ready to have some fun!

Craft Cocktail Party

Mix up the standard cocktail party with a breezy outdoor venue and an artisan drink. Does your city feature a special brewery that could be the star of the party? Have a brewery representative on hand to answer questions and explain pairings and brewery history.

Don’t leave food out of the fun; serve heavy snacks, pretzels and dips, cheeses and bacon popcorn. Décor can be inspired by the beer ingredients themselves: hops, spices, and wheat. Most breweries will have a root beer available for the non-imbibers.

Night Swimming

Hire a reputable guide service and hit the beach, at night. Night time glow stand up paddle boarding is all the rage. The Sheraton San Diego and Marina offers tours of the marina while standing on LED lit paddle-boards. Afterwards, attendees crowd around a fire pit on the beach for refreshments and story-telling.

In fact, night paddle boarding is popping up on beaches and lakes all over the country and is a fun, adventurous excursion for all ability levels.

Scavenger Hunt

Make up your own list of public sculptures, duck feeding, and stranger serenading fun. Break into teams and mandate that photo/video documentation is a must. Give a time period and meet up for a late lunch to see who could document the most items on the list.

There are a number of ideas online or guide services that can facilitate more complex scavenging. Be sure to check out which is an urban race series across the USA for teams of 2-4 to solve clues and compete in challenges.
