The Bee's Knees of Holiday Parties

A local corporate company approached us about producing their holiday party, a high-end theme with heavy entertainment and décor needs for 1,100 people on a minimal budget. The client’s primary goal was to find a venue located downtown and to create a unique and captivating experience that was not your typical corporate holiday party. They wanted a Speakeasy theme that would keep every attendee engaged throughout the 4-hour-long event. Our first step was to secure an unexpected venue with many built-in entertainment and décor elements. We chose an old warehouse-turned-nightclub with art deco flair right in the heart of downtown Denver. Below is a highlight of the elements we created. Greeted with a glass of champagne Traditional DJ spinning speakeasy-inspired tunes Signage and map to navigate the mashup of rooms covering two different levels Each room was labeled with a Great Gatsby-inspired name Existing games to include billiards, skeeball, air hockey and arcade games Liquid nitrogen martini bar and a floating dessert display Vintage-inspired singing trio dressed as flappers Speakeasy-era costumed performers to act as atmospheric entertainment while distributing a variety of ‘secret notes’ to the guests Silent disco Multiple glamorous photobooths Champagne-toned uplighting and a variety of string lights On the in-house TV’s, we ran screenings of Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby Props and takeaways for simple and fun tabletop décor
