What is your Christmas Flavor?

A question we are frequently asked at Lewis Events by organizations, companies, property owners, and others, is “What can we do about the dwindling attendance at our annual Christmas parties?” Our question back is “What do you do each year for the celebration?” “Pretty much the same thing”, they say. “Have some food, throw on some music, a few words from the CEO, and give out prizes.”

It’s time to think outside of the box and add some sizzle to your holiday parties. Change up the theme each year and put a slightly different twist on Christmas! The food, activities, decor, entertainment, and prizes can complement the theme. The themes can vary but can always reflect the spirit of the holiday. Each year the celebration will be a new and exciting experience for the guests.

Octoberfest Arrives Early to Park City

Posted on by

Lewis Events had the pleasure of working with Summit Events DMC in bringing Octoberfest to life in Park City for a corporate client. So, instead of waiting until October, early September was when it was time to break out the the Alpenhorns, Brats, and Sauerkraut.

The Stein Eriksen Lodge is a beautiful location both indoors and out with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and Deer Valley Resort. We decorated the event space to create the Octoberfest atmosphere and complement the venue space.

Prior to dinner and presentations, guests primarily socialized with frequent challenges at the Hammerschlagen game. This unique contest is often played at Octoberfest celebrations where challengers use the tapered end of a hammer to see who can drive a nail into a large piece of wood with the fewest number of hammer strikes. Most guests had never experienced Hammerschlagen but enjoyed the experience.

Pasadena Museum of History Celebration

Lewis Events was recently invited to participate in the City of Pasadena’s 138th birthday celebration held at the Pasadena Museum of History. The special occasion was hosted in conjunction with their new exhibition entitled, “LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION! Hollywood Magic in Pasadena“, “which highlights the city’s intrinsic role in the multidimensional world of filmmaking”. Guests were welcomed with a movie premier grand entrance and snapped pictures in a movie-making photo vignette.

Key areas of the museum property featured iconic scenes from popular blockbuster films accompanied by costumed characters. A replica, “Back to the Future” time machine Delorean was also spotlighted.

The Fényes Mansion served as a beautiful background for the theater-style snack bar, DJ, and featured entertainment. Each hour dances from popular films were performed and taught to the willing audience. Dances included Hand Jive, Thriller, Wednesday Adams, Footloose, and the entire YMCA routine.

Christy served as MC for the formal portion of the program and led the crowd in singing “Happy Birthday Pasadena”, with Pasadena’s Mayor Victor M. Gordo performing the honorary cake cutting.

Pasadena locations have been featured in films including Father of the Bride, The Sting, La La Land, and Back to the Future. We enjoyed bringing the silver screen alive for Pasadena and hope for another amazing 138 years!

A Spectacular Silver Screen Halloween

Each year as the leaves fall and the chill arrives, we celebrate Halloween with a modest social gathering among friends and family. To create anticipation and keep the special occasion new and exciting we change the theme each year. This year we transported our special guests back in time to early Hollywood with a bit of a haunted twist.

  • Hollywood Prop Vignette
  • Old Hollywood Theme Decor

Guests arrived costumed as a silver-screen character or celebrity. A variety of delectable treats were served complemented by a gourmet caramel apple and soda bar. Guests visited with old and new friends, played games, and moved with on-screen dance routines and lively haunting music! It’s a wrap!
