1. When you are researching party venues ensure you select a place that's convenient for all of the attendees. You need to keep in mind that those who ordinarily rely on public transportation to get to work may need to make different arrangements to get to the party, so do not select a venue that will be inconvenient for anyone's journey.
2. Choose a venue that's large enough for your team members but not so large that people are unable to see any kind of friendship or social intimacy.
3. Some corporate party venues offer specific menus for business Christmas parties. Ensure there is a array of selections and that they meet the tastes and needs of everyone who might attend the party. The menu must be able to offer enough selections to accommodate even those who have special dietary needs or allergies.
4. Choose party venues that will be able to accommodate your array of entertainment whether it's music, a band or a stage act. Take the time to see the venue in person before you reserve it so you know whether it's appropriate for your needs.
5. If you are going to serve alcoholic beverages select those that are the most popular (beer, wine, house spirits and soft drinks) and then allow others to be paid for by attendees.
6. Try to select party venues that are next to hotels for those who wish to spend the night rather than driving home.
7. Ensure the venue is willing to offer non-alcoholic beverages as well as tea and coffee, at least throughout dinner.
8. Some venues do not serve drinks throughout the dinner. Ensure you confirm this before you book the venue and ensure that there is sufficient wine on the tables.
9. If you have specific Christmas theme ideas for your corporate Christmas party ensure you discuss this with each of the party venues you consider. Some venues do their own decorating and aren't open to those who wish to offer their own theming.
Remember this is your office Christmas party and you need to ensure your team members have a great time. If there are guests from other organisations it's essential to make sure everything goes as planned or it will reflect negatively on you as the company's event organiser.
