Now is the time of year when corporate clients start planning holiday parties for their employees. To help get the creative juices flowing, here's some inspiration from Vibrant Table Catering & Events.
Prom-Themed Holiday Party
This was a prom-themed holiday party for a corporate client with 300 guests in a convention center ballroom. The goal was to create an elevated but campy event that excited and engaged the guests both in aesthetics and experience. Kitschy nods to the school dance experience included elements like a checkerboard dance floor, hanging crescent moon décor, and oversized balloon displays. A warm and hearty winter menu brought in some holiday feel, while specially designed mini desserts kept things light and cheeky.
