Top tips for organising a company party
Planning an event is easier when you focus on guest experience first: how people arrive, what they eat, how the schedule flows, and how the room feels once music starts. At Chinelos Catering & Events, we support celebrations throughout the Triangle and help hosts turn ideas into a smooth, memorable event.
Start with the purpose
Decide what the party should achieve: recognition, connection, celebration, or client engagement. Your venue, menu style, and entertainment choices get easier once the goal is clear.
Pick a schedule that protects the vibe
Use a simple run-of-show: arrival → food opens → short remarks → entertainment/social time → dessert/close. Avoid stacking too many “moments.”
Catering that keeps the line moving
For corporate events, buffet and full-service are often best. Buffet is flexible for larger teams; full-service feels polished for VIP or client-facing events.
Entertainment that fits your culture
High-energy teams love a DJ + MC; relaxed mixers benefit from a curated playlist and light announcements. Our network includes DJ Nene + Apex Diversified for sound/lighting support when needed.
