In our humble opinion, to create, implement and manage a truly unforgettable Christmas party it is really beneficial to call on some expert help. Here at Mirage we understand all the multiple layers that go into delivering a high-end, top-notch party. We live, love and breathe parties and creating amazing memories is our raison d’être.
As the festive season fast approaches, we’ve pulled together some key considerations needed when planning the perfect Christmas party. So get planning now and indulge in the seasonal delights of Christmas!
What is the most suitable venue?
We’re great at creating space! Adding small structures to the side of a property works wonders. It opens up your home to become a stylish and atmospheric party space. Our event managers manage the whole process. Having constructed many temporary event structures they will visit the property and work out how best to use the space available.
Do you have a big garden or access to a large plot of land?
Utilising stand alone clearspan marquees or Tipi’s will suit those with a bigger guest list. Working with tried and tested suppliers, we design and oversee the construction (and deconstruction) of these larger venue spaces.
Clients can enjoy watching as our in-house experts create a winter wonderland in their back garden. We never compromise on perfection whilst ensuring everything is on brief, on budget and HSE compliant. From planning the heating and power sources required, to decor and furniture, your guests will be in the upmost comfort.
Create the perfect atmosphere
From the moment your guests arrive indulge them with some Christmas spirit. For those who love the theatrical, greet your guests with snowfall as they enter the venue. Snow machines can be used to cover driveways and footpaths setting the scene perfectly. To deliver warmth and a festive glow, pronounce the entrances with twinkly fairylights and glowing lanterns.
Our party stylists love the challenge of creating a Christmas party venue. Using reindeer rugs, fluffy sheepskins, cosy sofas are all fabulous props to warm your party guests. Tipi’s are great structures that allow for open fires, and once inside you can shut out the elements with wooden doors. With our help, allow your guests to be transported and experience a Christmas party worthy of any top London venue.
Ensure it’s a party to remember
Top quality entertainment makes an event and working with leading entertainers we know what will suit your party genre. Background acoustic music is perfect to allow guests to mingle and catch up whilst champagne and canapés are served. This can lead into a top DJ set where guests can really let their hair down and party into the early hours. This year, our parties have been dominated by top performing live bands that have literally got the dance floor jumping.
Catering with a difference
Catering should always enhance your guests experience. Plentiful and delicious food is a given at all of our events. Add a seasonal twist with delectable seasonal treats. Christmas puddings in kilner jars, amazing seasonal canapés and luxurious mince pies (no one wants to be served slices of dried-up turkey sat down at hastily dressed tables).
Allow your guests to roam with delicious bowl food or indulge them with a sit down dinner. You’ll need to accompany those talking point festive cocktails with some equally enticing catering that will impress your guests.
