The brief

Create a totally unique Christmas Party experience for the 30 members of the Best Buy Executive team. The event must be highly memorable, fun, and (knowing the client) light hearted and humorous.

Our response

We decided to focus on finding and creating the perfect venue. We sourced a pop-up restaurant that had been created as a replica of a traditional Alpine chalet, and added a few flourishes of our own to ensure it looked and felt amazing.

Then we arranged entertainment. First of all, to get everyone in the mood, we provided props on every seat - ski hats, antlers, a variety of Alpine themed and Christmas themed items. This made sure everyone got in the mood straight away.

Then, during dinner, we had a traditional Alpine band supplying the tunes. In traditional dress with traditional instruments complete with a real life Yodeller. A key part of the entertainment was getting the guests to interact with the band. Between courses we had a Yodelling and thigh slapping Masterclass. This went down, as you'd imagine, a treat.

After the meal a traditional pub quiz got everyone's competitive juices flowing and ensured that the evening ended on a high.

Outcome

The evening was extremely enjoyable, and thanks to the interactive entertainment with a strong focus on audience participation, the definite novelty feel, and the wow factor created by the venue, all the Execs really let their hair down.
