How to Plan a Budget-Friendly Summer Office Event: A Comprehensive Guide
Planning a summer office event on a budget doesn't mean sacrificing fun or quality. At Pantree, we specialize in helping our customers organize memorable events within various budget constraints through our office snacks service, drawing from our own experiences in navigating cost-effective solutions for our own company gatherings. Today, we have an easy checklist of essentials to help you throw an unforgettable summer bash without breaking the bank.
-
Venue: Selecting the right venue sets the stage for your event. If hosting at your office isn't feasible, consider alternative options like a local park or a rooftop terrace. Look for venues with low or no rental fees and the flexibility to bring in your own food and beverages. By thinking creatively about your venue, you can save significantly on costs while still providing a fantastic experience for your team.
-
Non-Alcoholic Beverages: Beverages are a cornerstone of any party, and catering to diverse preferences, including those opting for a sober or sober-ish lifestyle, is essential. Barbet offers a range of sophisticated non-alcoholic beverages that elevate the drinking experience with flavours like blood orange, cucumber, pineapple, and lavender. These sparkling water options ensure that everyone can enjoy refreshing drinks without feeling like an afterthought.
-
Mocktails: For mocktails that rival their alcoholic counterparts in flavour and complexity, turn to Collective Arts. Their lineup includes familiar favourites like Mellow Mojito and Midday Mule, as well as innovative options for Stout and IPA. With Collective Arts, you can craft delicious mocktails that satisfy without the risk of overindulgence, ensuring that every guest can join in the festivities.
-
Light Alcohol Beverages: For guests who prefer to imbibe, offer a selection of lighter beers and cocktails to keep the celebration going. Ace Hill provides light, craft beer favourites, while Cutwater offers convenient canned cocktails perfect for outdoor gatherings. Additionally, consider local wine options like Featherstone from Niagara to add a touch of sophistication to your event's beverage lineup.
-
Snacking Options: No summer event is complete without delicious snacks to keep everyone fuelled and satisfied. From Farm To Table offers gourmet popcorn in a variety of flavours, while Bio Raw provides pre-made veggie trays paired with vegan hummus. For cheese lovers, explore our selection of artisanal cheeses sourced from local producers. To satisfy your sweet tooth, consider creating a candy bar featuring treats from Smart Sweets, Better Bears, Brookside Chocolate, and Chocosol. With a diverse range of snacking options, you can cater to every taste and dietary preference.
