One of the sinificant steps in any company's, association's or group's social life is Christmas party. But how could you organise it in an impeccable way ? Discover our guide with our 8 tips!
8 - Attention to every single detail is basic
According to our experience, the best Christmas party is one where participants will remember the event. A simple programme is essential for the participants' satisfaction. A cosy and refined ambience and excellent catering service are key points to be met. So, the secret is to take care of the details to impress all participants!
7 - What type of menu? À la Carte, catering or buffet?
Food, with its traditions, is the heart of the corporate Christmas party. One of the first things you need to arrange is food to be served during the event. Usually, some companies or groups already have a specific idea regarding the menu (traditional, vegetarian, exotic, etc.), while others prefer to take advice from the restaurant. Always specify in advance if there are any vegan or vegetarian guests, food intolerances or allergies, and fish or meat menu preferences. The kitchen staff should always be informed about dietary requirements, timing, or possible delays.
6 - And what about drinks for your Christmas party?
If food is the core, then drinks are no less so. In Italy, non-alcoholic beverages are generally offered during the meal, sometimes with an aperitif before the meal begins and bitters and digestive liqueurs at the end. Following the trend of recent years, drinks serving should be no limits.
5 - What atmosphere shall we choose during the corporate Christmas party?
The right Christmas atmosphere is crucial to put all extrovert and shy guests at ease. Therefore, a festive and welcoming atmosphere will be essential to recreate the magic of Christmas and spend happy hours with work colleagues and company managers. In addition to the mood, a Christmas dress code can also be used to cheer people up even more.
4 - How to arrange the tables during the corporate Christmas party?
Long, well-decorated tables immediately recreate the party atmosphere but still keep away guests seated at their respective ends. Single tables facilitate social contact because individual seats are given to other colleagues during the event. Usually, this choice is quite a subjective one. Therefore, consider the best arrangement for your company's and your employees' Christmas party.
3 - Table decoration
If the tables are skilfully decorated, and the lighting is arranged to warm up the ambience and the mood, the Christmas atmosphere lights up, and it's party time. Lovely place cards and menu holders customised with the company logo will undoubtedly do the rest and restore the sense of belonging to the company. Let us advise you on the latest Christmas trends in this regard.
2 - Christmas party reference person
An equally essential aspect will be the contact person for the Christmas party. He or she will be able to define the various stages of the evening and decide on the timing. The reference person is also important for the promptness of any decisions regarding absences, failures, mishaps and possible unforeseen events that might arise during the event.

There are seafood and land alternatives, as well as menus for vegans, vegetarians, coeliacs and any other dietary requirement. Our cuisine is deeply rooted in the Neapolitan tradition, and our Christmas party is also traditionally Neapolitan. However, we carefully tailor our basic format to any needs. For decoration and atmosphere, thanks to domotics, our venue can be customised with colours as desired both inside and outside. The main hall counts on a Dolby surround system, and a state-of-the-art audio-lighting system turn all guests into spectators of "lights and music design" shows. For all events, even non-exclusive ones, we provide piped music. Besides the menu, the table's centrepiece will be a classic Christmas decoration, while the entire venue will be lit with beautiful Christmas lights. In addition, Al Chiar di Luna will offer all participants a gift: a voucher for dinner or stay to use during spring or summer!
