Christmas Party Styling for Corporate Parties and Events

Transforming A Unique Shoreditch Venue into a Nordic Wonderland

In the winter of 2022, we were approached by the team at Shoreditch Venues to create a Nordic, winter haven for one of their corporate party clients who had booked a Christmas Party with them.

This client booked the unique and prestigious venue for their Work Christmas Party, celebrating their valued team of employees and another year of business success.

The Brief

DRY HIRE VENUE TRANSFORMATION

With a large portion of the client’s employees falling within the millennial demographic, there was a strong focus on designing an experience that resonated with them while maintaining broad appeal for all age groups within the company. Our task, therefore, was to create an all-encompassing theme that catered to everyone.

Since the venue was a dry-hire space, the client sought guidance from our team on how best to utilise it. Starting with a vast, empty room, we worked hard to transform the space both aesthetically and logistically. We suggested plenty of seating, created room for entertainment, and incorporated engaging activities, such as a photo area, to enhance the experience.

The turnaround time for this event was short, allowing minimal time for preparation and consultation.

With this in mind, we offered the client a selection of straightforward, turnkey packages. Each package featured different props, themes, and ideas, all carefully tailored to the venue and the client's preferences. Their task was simply to choose the option they loved the most!

Additionally, we provided in-depth details about installation, de-rig, and styling fees to ensure the client had a clear understanding of all aspects involved and was able to really leave us to it.

How Did We Help?

The final event space was transformed into a picturesque, Nordic-inspired scene through the use of carefully selected props and creative styling.

To add warmth and comfort, we provided a lounge area featuring Christmas trees, ski signage, glowing lanterns, and cosy blankets.

Additional seating was arranged with our poseur tables, offering a space to mingle and grab a drink, while others dined at our rustic trestle tables. Each table was adorned with lanterns, glass cylinders and log slices maintaining the cohesive Nordic theme throughout.

To create interest and continue the theme throughout the entire space, we installed a series of glowing, hanging, paper stars.

And finally, we delivered a picture-perfect photobooth area, allowing guests to capture the memories in style.

logistics and processes

We worked with our selection of pre-existing package options to ensure we could deliver the event to exceptional standards within the tight turnaround time.

This also provided flexibility for the client in terms of both aesthetic preferences and budget. As the event was one of many scheduled for the day, efficient time management was crucial. We ensured that everything was perfectly prepared and ready before the guests arrived.
