It’s that time of year again where staff across the country are being nominated by their dear colleagues as the official office Christmas party event planner.
Those who have never done it before rejoice that they’ve been noticed and eagerly dive into picking out balloons, ordering Santa hats and testing out caterers.
Those who have done it before groan internally, bemoaning their sudden popularity (or perhaps lack of).
Christmas party planning sounds like fun (and can be!), but behind all the glitz, glam and alcohol consumption lies tight budgets, whining emails about venue choice/decor/themes/food, in-fighting about dates and forgotten invitations.
There’s also the fact that when someone is nominated to organise a party, it’s highly unlikely they’ll get to enjoy said party as they will spend most of their time running around making sure everything is going according to plan.
That’s where we come in!
As experienced event planners, we can help your business put together a Christmas party which meets the needs of all your staff and stakeholders and allows everyone important to you to enjoy their time.
After all, saying “thank you for all your hard work” to someone by sticking them behind the drinks table, or making them run around making last minute phone calls to contractors who haven’t showed, isn’t really saying “thank you” at all.
Based in Sydney, our Christmas party event planner team will meet with you to discuss your needs, vision and budget and put together a detailed proposal/event concept for your approval.
Once signed off, we will work closely with a nominated staff member to bring together the ultimate Christmas party for your team – whether that be a team of 20, or a 500 guest staff-client-stakeholder extravaganza with fire breathing Santa’s and real life reindeer. We can get as creative or unique with the event planning as you like!
The main thing is, everything will be organised professionally and managed by our team who you can contact right now to discuss your Christmas party needs with.
We do all the leg work leading up to the event:
- budget monitoring
- reporting
- contractor sourcing and liaising
- speech notes
- venue sourcing and negotiations
- theming
- staffing
- invitations
- swag bag stuffing
During the event:
- bump in
- contractor briefing
- social media management
- event management
- registrations
And after the event:
- bump out
- reporting
- feedback forms

Some office Christmas party ideas include:
- Intimate day trips to luxury destinations for small staff cohorts (great way to thank your staff and increase team bonding)
- Volunteering opportunities, mixed with delectable lunches (imagine telling you team they get to spend the day cuddling puppies, drinking wine and eating good food – feel good all round!)
- Themed gala balls (for when you have hundreds of people to thank – take it to the next level at a premium venue)
- Scavenger hunts (excellent for improving team member relationships and is a bit different to the traditional Christmas party)
- Mini festivals (everyone knows that feeling when you go to a festival or fair: the smell of warm candy, the excitement that builds up in the pit of your stomach as screams of joy dance through the air. Celebrate your company with it’s own dedicates festival – you can even invite your family members of your staff)
- Or you can go with the tried, tested and true traditional food + music + drinks, either at your place of work or by hiring a hall or venue.
Whatever your vision and needs, we can help you produce a great night for all your staff, contractors, clients, business partners, stakeholders, friends, family…whoever you need to make feel valued and appreciated!
