My first introduction to the corporate events world was as a 17 year old, DJ’ing a run of twenty ABBA themed Christmas parties at a very shabby London venue which served the worst Christmas dinner you have eaten.

As a result, I can no longer listen to ABBA, and I can’t eat turkey, but this experience inspired me to want to create fantastic Christmas Parties that provide a great venue, stunning food and original and exciting entertainment.

Over the past few years, the Christmas party market has taken a bit of a hammering, but I still maintain, that done well, the annual Christmas Party is one of most enjoyable and cost effective ways to acknowledge staff, encourage team bonding, and show them that they are appreciated.

For me, a Christmas party should be a reward, therefore it’s no good serving your staff food they wouldn’t be happy paying for themselves, or forcing them to listen to the MD drone on for half an hour about targets and mission statements. If you are going to do something, do it properly, go for good food, a good location and some genuinely fun entertainment. If the boss insists on speaking it should simply be to say THANK YOU.

Thankfully, The London Christmas party market has moved on significantly since the days of dry turkey and ABBA tribute bands, and many event companies now offer great value packages, stunning surroundings and excellent entertainment.

When booking your Christmas party be sure to use a reputable firm, who have a history of providing high quality parties, do your research, there are many great event companies out there. but there are also many who just want bums on seats, with no regard to the quality of what they are offering.

If you are restrained by budget, don’t cut back on the key components such as quality food and drink, entertainment etc. Perhaps go for a less popular day of the week, or consider holding your party during the day. There are some fantastic deals to be had if you able to be a bit flexible on dates.

This year at Impulse Events we have teamed up with one of London’s most popular brands, Guilty Pleasures, to provide the Christmas Party you really want, one of the worlds best DJ’s and a menu voted for by our clients, which includes items such as bangers and mash, sticky toffee pudding and flying saucers for petit fours!

The football world cup is without doubt the biggest sporting event of the year, and a wonderful opportunity to entertain clients and/or colleagues in an extremely cost-effective and informal fashion.

As the game draws near, guests can enter the pub (which is exclusively yours for the whole evening) and watch the game in a traditional pub on our various big screens.

To celebrate a great result, we can also offer the option of continuing the party into the early hours with one of our DJ’s in The Adelaide’s function room.

A Christmas party is a fantastic way to reward staff in what has been a challenging year. For many employees this is the one day of the year that they get ‘on the company’ and research shows that the Christmas party is both highly valued by the staff and a great way to motivate the team.
