Planning a great party is about much more than just sending out invitations and providing food. If you want to host an event that everyone enjoys and talks about for months to come, consider a theme that encompasses entertainment, décor, and activities that encourage people to relax and have fun.
Whether you are looking to get employees together for team-building and socializing, hoping to host an exciting networking event, or designing a fundraiser that will attract the attention of your donor base, our team at Legacy Stables and Events can help create a themed event that meets all your goals. We can work with you to help find a theme that works well with your goals and company’s culture to ensure everyone enjoys themselves and has a good time.
Here are a few ideas to get you started thinking about what types of themes can lead to exciting, talked-about events.
Bourbon or Wine Tasting. Many people enjoy bourbon or wine, but admittedly don’t know a lot about it. Hosting a tasting can be a fun way to help people learn about the different varieties, find their favorites, and encourage conversation and bonding all at the same time. Legacy Stables and Events can help put this on, thanks to our relationships with local distilleries and vineyards. We team up with their professionals to bring in the supplies and the expert knowledge. Top it off with charcuterie boards for snacking and you’ve got a simple yet elegant event for people to enjoy.
James Bond Event. Looking for an excuse to dress up? Invite guests to wear their best formal attire and come enjoy a night living like one of the world’s most famous spies. Margaritas at the bar and blackjack tables for entertainment are a must in creating this 007 world. Include a photo booth with the iconic James Bond gun-barrel background and plenty of fun props including top hats, dice, and a martini glass.
Casino Night. There’s no need to travel to Atlantic City to enjoy a night of poker and roulette. We have hosted many successful casino nights at Legacy Stables and Events. Guests enjoy a wide variety of games, playing for prizes and bragging rights. Help fortify their gaming with snacks they can enjoy right at the tables, such as sliders, crispy potato skins, and spiced popcorn. Of course, signature cocktails like a Jackpot Punch are also a must!
Masquerade Ball. It doesn’t have to be Halloween to enjoy a night pretending to be mysterious and in costume. Invite guests to wear their best formal wear and provide beautiful masks at the door for a night of elegance and fun. Classical music helps set the mood, and dancers and acrobats working their way through the crowd can add a great touch. A photo booth is another must-have element of a masquerade ball, as guests will love posing with their masks.
Office Olympics. For a more casual event, take advantage of 2024’s Olympic fever and consider hosting your own office Olympics. Legacy Stables and Events can accommodate fun activities both indoors and outdoors, whether you’re looking to have competitions such as three-legged races and coffee-carrying relays or rubber band archery and paper plane contests. Decorations of different countries’ flags and the Olympic rings set the scene, and you can encourage team-building by having supplies provided to allow each team to create their own banners.
Legacy Stables and Events is a perfect venue for your next corporate get-together or fund-raising event, whatever theme you choose. With two event venues, the Forsyth Barn and Grace Barn, we have the flexibility to host a small, intimate gathering for team building or a large night of celebrating with the entire company or hundreds of donors.
