WHAT IS THE OCCASION?
The first step is to determine your needs. This includes potential goals, desires and concerns. The more we know about what has already been decided can allow us to narrow the conversation to approaches that interest you.
We know, you can't say Merry Christmas, and that's become a political football. The reality is that Christmas isn't really what it's about. It's the full holiday season. Otherwise we'd have Christmas Parties on X-mas day. Instead, it's about celebrating the year that was and taking time outside of the office to appreciate the efforts of those in attendance. Each of these comes to the venue of your choice whether you are in Vancouver, Victoria and Whistler in British Columbia, Edmonton, Calgary and Banff in Alberta, Toronto and the rest of the GTA and Golden Horseshoe including Hamilton and Niagara-on-the-Lake and Ottawa in Ontario, and Montreal and Mont Tremblant in Quebec, THEY have you covered!
Office holiday parties have expanded beyond December. Due to the difficulty of finding venues, expense, and the association with Christmas, many companies are holding their celebrations in January. From entertainment to emceeing your gift exchanges, ask how we can enhance your celebration!
Ending one year and looking forward to the next has always been important for companies. New Year's Eve parties have become a very different way to celebrate for businesses, sometimes with clients invited, while bonding everyone in unique ways. This has also become a way to get virtual teams together to bond, as such get togethers have become more rare. We can help you to ring in the New Year like no one else!
Companies have started celebrating Halloween as a way to get employees together. It's seen as being non-religious and just good old fun and an excuse to party and bond! Costumes and alcohol flow as the evening progresses. We have approaches for game shows, improv comedy, and murder mysteries that are themed to All Hallows Eve. Added elements can include costume contests, carnival elements, etc. Let us work with you to take your Halloween to the next level!
Celebrating Valentine's Day, though often not on February 14th, is an opportunity to invite significant others and show them some appreciation. This allows them to socialize and get to know each other. Allowing teams to feel more like family is a great way to bond to help foster a more congenial work environment and redue employee turnover. This builds loyalty to the company as the company is seen to be looking out more for the employees and taking more of an interest in their home lives.
Our cast of detectives, mysterious suspects and plots are customized to the holiday and adjust to your your desires. We have different approaches and themes to fit almost any group. We can also have the bosses play the characters and they go table to table and talk to everyone at the office holiday party. It's a great way to fight silo mentality.
We engage the competitive spirit of partygoers and get them playing with one another and enjoying the fun. These are a lot of the TV styled shows as well as customized formats that we can create just for your employees and are adjusted to the holiday. We can also use these for team building without them knowing.
Improvisational comedy is a great way to have an ensemble entertain your group in a relaxed atmosphere. We can use this to get people laughing and having a shared experience and even incorporate your people in the show in scenes customized to the office holiday party and the employees and significant others in attendance.
We can bring a variety of magicians and mentalists to your event. They can perform by roaming through your group with one-on-one performances, or they can perform on stage in front of the group as a whole. This can include magic tricks set to the theme of the office holiday party.
We can bring fun characters to interact with your groups. These can be for comedic value as well as to create a surprise in a variety of ways. With Santas, police, hotel managers, dates, and many other options, we can pep up any employee gathering for any office holiday party.
OUR GREEN COMMITMENT While ultimately we serve our clients in the way that they require, we work hard to reduce the carbon footprint of any event. We recycle, utilize local talent when preferable, and look to leave places better than we found them. When we do travel, we take pains to reduce our impact on the environment.
WE COME TO YOU !
We come to whatever venue that you choose. This can include any area restaurant, hotel, conference facility, convention hall or even someone's home. We work with the venue to ensure a smooth operation. This includes working with their team to coordinate their sound, stage and lighting. We can provide sound equipment, etc., as well, but for an additional fee, though we usually opt to use the venue's equipment. Of course for smaller groups, no equipment is required and not using microphones enhances the intimacy of the show.
With Banff as a major destination for corporate retreats, we can provide a wide range of services. We also serve Calgary and Edmonton.
Whistler is a major destination for corporate retreats and is within range of our Vancouver regional HQ. We also serve the rest of the area and Victoria.
We can help the companies and clients in Winnipeg as well as through the larger area as needed.
We are proud to provide our programs from our regional HQ in Halifax. This allows for major consulting for local companies.
Toronto is our regional HQ for Ontario, but we are proud to serve Niagara Falls, Mississauga, Ottawa, London and Windsor.
While focused on our English-speaking clients, we provide our programs in Montreal, Quebec City and throughout the province. We serve the market with less providers.
The first step is to determine your needs. This includes potential goals, desires and concerns. The more we know about what has already been decided can allow us to narrow the conversation to approaches that interest you.
We need to know the city where the event will be as well as what kind of venue might be used. A date, or date range, for when you would like to have this and what time frame you are looking for will help to determine our commitment and availability. Knowing the size of your group, though that will likely just be an estimate, will allow us to choose appropriate options and have a better feel for the resources required.
If you know budget limitations, that can allow us to restrict the conversations to those options that will be within your financial constraints. This works in both directions. We don't want to overbuild and propose options that can't be done. Also, we don't want to provide less than we could realizing the resources that could be made available to better achieve your goals.
The celebrations of the season are really about making connections between the people and showing the employees that their efforts over the past year are appreciated. Celebrate the time you have together and cherish the deeper relationships that enable your success!
