From booking venues and coordinating RSVPs to balancing budgets and curating the perfect theme, it can feel like a logistical marathon. And let’s not forget about the pressure to make everyone happy—after all, it’s an event that should be both professional and festive! But here’s the thing: Despite the stress, the effort is always worth it. 🎁 Seeing colleagues laughing, bonding, and letting loose outside of their work roles reminds us why we do what we do. Those shared moments of joy build stronger teams, create lasting memories, and foster a positive company culture. So if you’re in the midst of holiday party planning this year, take a deep breath and remember—it’s all about creating moments of connection and appreciation. Your efforts may feel like a whirlwind, but the rewards are priceless. 🙌 #OfficeHolidayParty #EventPlanning #CompanyCulture #HolidaySeason #TeamBuilding #Gratitude

🎄 Being an event planner during the holidays is like being one of Santa’s elves…if the elves had 500 deadlines, 17 different wish lists, and had to make their own eggnog. But hey, this is the season for extra! Extra festive, extra busy, and extra caffeinated. Whether it’s hosting client holiday games, planning team-building events, or figuring out how to keep the dog from eating the tinsel (again), we’re embracing the chaos with candy cane energy. ✨ Holiday Spirit Checklist: ✔️ Deck the halls (or at least clear off your desk). ✔️ Wear the ugliest sweater you can find. Bonus points for lights! ✔️ Keep your calendar full of joy—and maybe some cookies. Running a business during the holidays isn’t always glamorous, but it is rewarding. Watching teams laugh together during our Host Events holiday games or seeing someone rock their pet’s reindeer costume on Zoom? Totally worth it. Here’s to every business owner juggling 12 days of chaos. May your coffee be strong 😉, your deadlines be merry, and your spirit be as bright as Rudolph’s nose! 🎅✨ #FosterConnection #IgniteEngagement #PutTheJingleInYourMingle #EventPlannerLife #HolidayHustle

34% of employees avoid work socials due to alcohol. Here are 7 ideas for company socials that don't include alcohol but DO include everybody 👇🏻 #1 A group challenge like an escape room or a maze. #2 A potluck lunch encouraging everyone to bring in their favourite dish. #3 A taskmaster-style timed challenge with mixed department groups. #4 An office bake-off competition where members of the team are picked as judges. #5 A classic activity like mini golf, axe throwing or bowling. #6 A team sporting event such as a Colour Run or a Tough Mudder. #7 A paid for virtual lunches for remote teams. I don't blame people for avoiding alcohol-related socials. Making social events inclusive means: > Those who don't drink can participate > Parents can still put their kids to bed > People who live far out can drive in Everyone should be able to enjoy a work event 👏🏻 P.S. My favourite work social we did at Roma Black was a yacht day with good food and the sun shining ☀️

The festive season is in full swing, and with all the hustle and bustle, it’s easy to get caught up in the logistics. But no matter how busy it gets, let’s not lose sight of what matters most: your guests. Even during the busiest days, creating memorable guest experiences should remain your top priority. Here’s how to keep your guests at the centre: 1. Warm Welcomes A friendly greeting sets the tone for the entire guest experience. Even if your team is flat out, that initial moment of connection can make guests feel valued and appreciated. 2. Anticipate Guest Needs Empower your team to look for small ways to go above and beyond. Whether it’s refilling a glass before being asked or offering assistance with a question, these thoughtful touches can leave a lasting impression. 3. Stay Calm and Personable High-pressure environments can lead to rushed interactions. Encourage your team to stay present and personable—guests can feel the difference between genuine engagement and a forced smile. These small, meaningful actions remind your guests why they chose your venue in the first place. What’s one small gesture your team does to create memorable guest experiences? Share your ideas and look out for my next tip on Monday—how to boost team morale in the midst of the festive chaos.
