From Corporate Christmas to Family Celebrations: Event Essentials for the Holidays
As the festive season approaches, event planners and hosts alike are gearing up for the busiest time of the year. Whether you are tasked with organising an elegant corporate Christmas party or a cozy family gathering, creating a memorable experience is key. At Allens Hire, we understand the importance of bringing a unique touch to each event, no matter the occasion.
With decades of experience in catering and furniture hire, we know that the right décor, furniture, and tableware can transform your event from ordinary to extraordinary. From large-scale corporate soirées to intimate family dinners, here is how you can tailor your event for the perfect Christmas celebration.
Corporate Christmas Parties
Corporate events require a balance of professionalism and festive cheer. Striking the right tone is essential to ensure the celebration reflects your company’s brand while allowing guests to enjoy the holiday spirit.
1. Chic Tableware for a Refined Look
Corporate Christmas events often call for a polished and elegant dining experience. Our range of fine china, such as the Villeroy & Boch collections, provides the perfect backdrop for festive dishes. Paired with sophisticated cutlery like the Robert Welch Iona range and clear glassware, your guests will be immersed in an atmosphere of luxury.
2. Stylish and Practical Table Décor
Opt for elegant yet understated table décor that aligns with your company’s brand and seasonal spirit. Subtle yet impactful elements like metallic candle holders or elegant floral arrangements can enhance the mood and add to the festive ambience without overwhelming the room.
3. Cocktail Stations and Lounge Areas
Encourage networking and casual conversations by setting up chic lounge areas with comfortable seating like our Lismore sofas and armchairs. These versatile pieces are ideal for creating relaxed spaces where colleagues can mingle with a cocktail in hand. Do not forget to complement your setup with champagne and cocktail bars to elevate the experience!
Family Celebrations: Warm, Cozy, and Full of Festive Cheer
When it comes to family celebrations, comfort and warmth are at the heart of the event. Whether you are hosting Christmas Day lunch or an evening dinner, the goal is to create a space where loved ones feel relaxed and at home.
1. Casual Dining with a Festive Twist
For family events, it is all about striking the right balance between practicality and holiday charm. Consider using our versatile and sturdy crockery, such as Jars Stoneware. With its earthy tones and handmade textures, this collection brings a sense of comfort and style, perfect for a cozy family setting.
2. Comfortable Seating for Gatherings
Hosting a large family celebration? Our range of garden furniture, including weather-resistant rattan sofas and armchairs, ensures your guests have plenty of comfortable spots to gather, whether you are indoors or out. If you are celebrating outside, adding outdoor heaters or fire pits will keep everyone warm while enhancing the atmosphere.
3. Buffet-Style Dining
For informal family gatherings, buffet-style service is always a hit. Equip your spread with our stylish serving platters, punch bowls, and a variety of serving utensils. Guests will enjoy the ease of helping themselves, and the elegant presentation will keep the festive feel intact.
