5 Successful Ideas for an Outdoor Corporate Dinner

Outdoor Corporate Dinner: Theme It Up!

Remember, themes aren’t just for kids’ birthday parties. They can add an exciting dimension to your corporate dinner, making the evening fun, interactive, and memorable. From 1920s Gatsby Glamour to Hawaiian Luau, the possibilities are endless. Your theme should be reflected in everything — the decor, food, drinks, and even the dress code.

Don’t forget to add a personalised touch – if your company is in the tech industry, for instance, you might consider a futuristic theme. Or, if your company values sustainability, a green, eco-friendly theme could be both relevant and inspiring, featuring locally-sourced ingredients and biodegradable dinnerware.

Poolside Soiree

There’s something strikingly appealing about a dinner party by the pool – the shimmering reflections, the tranquil ambience, the cool breeze. It’s no wonder that poolside dinners have a timeless charm. Arrange for a live BBQ station and a cocktail bar.

To elevate the experience, consider installing floating LED lights in the pool and setting up a comfortable lounge area with plush seating.  You could even add a touch of sophistication with a live jazz band or a string quartet to serenade your guests throughout the evening.

Ancient Villa Party

If you’re looking for a corporate dinner setting imbued with history and charm, an ancient villa could be the perfect choice. These locations often come with sprawling gardens, providing ample space for outdoor dining. Imagine your team dining under the stars, surrounded by centuries-old trees and the soft glow of lanterns.

You might even consider hiring a historian or a local expert to give a brief talk about the villa’s history, adding an educational twist to the evening. To further enhance the ambiance, a classical guitarist or a small chamber group could provide background music that resonates with the villa’s historical significance.

Rooftop Dinner with a DJ Set

Take dining al fresco to new heights with a rooftop dinner. The dazzling city lights and panoramic views make for a breathtaking backdrop. Add to that a DJ set, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for an unforgettable evening.

Remember to check the noise regulations in your city to ensure your event doesn’t disrupt the peace. You could also provide wireless headphones for a silent disco experience, allowing guests to dance the night away without any noise complaints.

Plan B for Rainy Days

While outdoor corporate dinners can be spectacular, they do come with one potential hiccup – the weather. It’s always wise to have a plan B. This might involve hiring a marquee or a gazebo that can be quickly set up if the heavens open. Alternatively, ensure there’s an indoor area nearby that you can relocate to at short notice. You could even embrace the possibility of rain by providing branded umbrellas or ponchos, turning the weather into an opportunity for a unique marketing moment.

To end on a lighter note, remember that a little rain doesn’t necessarily mean disaster. As the saying goes, “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain.” This is the philosophy of Smart Eventi, a team that knows how to dance in all weather conditions!”
