‘Tis the Season for Holiday Parties! Five Tips for hosting the perfect Company Holiday Party!

 Whether you’re hosting an annual holiday celebration or want to start a new holiday tradition, here are 5 great tips to help you plan a splendid holiday party:
1. Choose a date that works for the majority: Of course, there will be some people who will be out of town or have other commitments, but do not stress if not everyone can attend. Be sure to find out what dates work the best and reserve your location immediately, as venues fill up quickly!
2. Select the right venue: Holiday parties typically revolve around food and cocktails so try picking a restaurant or bar that has a lively atmosphere. Looking for something private for a gift exchange, speeches or dancing? Newhall Refinery has a private dining space that offers a rustic charm as well as extremely delectable menu packages.
3. Have a fun theme: Try a beer tasting, wine pairing, or family-style lunch or dinner! This provides the opportunity for guests to mingle and interact with everyone! Tastings are interesting, fun, and give your party a focus that will make your job of planning a little easier.
4. Put a cap on the amount of hosted drinks the company provides. After that number, inform guests that they will be on their own to purchase additional cocktails as this limits your liability, and saves you from having a ridiculously large bill at the end of the event.
5. Be sure to communicate your appreciation for your hard working staff by giving them a friendly pat on the back, or a quick speech. This goes a long way, and encourages them to continue their hard work going into the New Year!
There are a number of other ways that you can create a memorable company holiday party for guests. Decorations, menu selection, and entertainment all contribute to festive holiday fun.
