Corporate events are more than just a meeting or a get-together, they are a chance to build connections, celebrate milestones, and reinforce the ties that unite a team. The choice of theme is what makes a memorable corporate event different from the rest.

Corporate event themes that are thoughtfully prepared not only make your event exciting and creative but portray the ideology and culture of the company, luring the attendees to feel valued and engaged.

Bell Works New Jersey and Bell Works Chicagoland offer great corporate event venues with multiple dynamic and flexible spaces. These locations are intended to fit all themes and experiences, making them the ideal places for any company that seeks to offer an unforgettable event.

Why Themed Corporate Events Matter

It’s more than just decorating the space. Corporate event themes are a festive touch that makes people interact and attend memorable events. Themed corporate events are a great way to bring your team together, celebrate company milestones, create networking opportunities, and offer several other benefits.

Themed events are more fun and immersive, which creates better engagement. Attendees are most likely to interact and build those connections when the event feels different and intentionally planned. Themes serve as excellent icebreakers, sparking curiosity, inspiring creativity, and helping attendees feel more at ease.

Your event theme can seamlessly align with and reinforce your company culture. For example, hosting a murder mystery party encourages team bonding and collaboration as attendees work together to solve the mystery. Similarly, a winter wonderland-themed event fosters a celebratory atmosphere, bringing guests closer and creating a sense of connection. By thoughtfully choosing a theme, you can enhance both the purpose and the experience of your event.

5 Creative Themes for Corporate Events at Bell Works

1. Hollywood Glam Night

Picture yourself rolling out the red carpet and making your event into a Hollywood-style affair!

This Hollywood-themed event will give even the drabbest of events a much-needed air of sophistication and excitement ideal for celebrating milestones, particularly around award ceremonies.

You can have elegant gold and brilliant silver decor, dramatically lit, with luxe seating arrangements. Guests are encouraged to come dressed to impress, in the glitz and glam of the evening!

Give entertainment with themed photo booths in which your attendees strike like stars. A few entertainment options include live jazz performances or even a Hollywood Star impersonator.

Such themed decorations are elegant and star-studded, loaded with gold and silver decor. It is a memorable choice for companies looking to celebrate in style with a unique corporate event theme.

2. Winter Wonderland Gala

A magical and cozy winter wonderland event theme is excellent for events organized around the holidays or at the end of the year.

When you follow this corporate event theme idea, the venue itself can have sparkling white decor, shimmering lights, and intricately themed snowflake decorations.

Warm seasonal delights such as hot chocolate, spiced cider, and signature-themed drinks are crafted to compliment the event and are enjoyed by attendees. A dance party or live music performance adds to the festival atmosphere and employees along with guests, can relax and celebrate together.

It’s not just about how it looks. This event theme encourages a ‘festival’ type of atmosphere, which helps your guests de-stress, at least before the end of the year. 

3. Nostalgic Carnival Fun

The idea behind this next event is to get people on board the nostalgia train and bring back the happily joyful feeling of a classic carnival. Because this carnival throws all ages of guests into one carnival experience, it is excellent for a casual gathering or company family day.

The classic fair food can be loaded with popcorn, cotton candy, and pretzels from the whimsical food carts. This venue can be decorated with fun things such as picnic tables and game booths that offer games such as ring toss or balloon darts. For something more interactive, you could even add circus performers like acrobats or tumblers, or a mini golf tournament.

4. Murder Mystery Party

If you want to make your experience more thrilling and immersive, a murder mystery party is a great way to do that. This event theme of collaboration and problem-solving has quickly made it a hit choice for team-building events to foster strong team bonding.

Although guests are not obliged to wear themed costumes, it’s fun to come dressed in 1920s detective or Victorian costumes. It’s a live-action game; half of your team is cooperating to solve the mystery. It’s challenging but fun, as there’s lots of extraneous material in the murder mystery theme, dramatic lighting, the courting of tension with music, and excessive detail on the clues.

This is an excellent theme for an engaging party that, other than being a unique and fun party, increases teamwork, team bonding, and communication skills.

5. Wild West Round-Up

If you’re looking for a relaxed, rustic vibe, a Wild West company theme event may be for you!

Played out in hay bales and with string lights on wooden accents, this corporate event theme is perfect for outdoor venues, but it doesn’t hurt to take it indoors!

A costume contest allows guests to take up the theme and win prizes for best-dressed cowboys and cowgirls. To top off the casual yet lively atmosphere, you can add the food trucks selling BBQ and hearty meals. Consider including live music or folk bands to keep the energy high.

If you’re looking for a summer event or a more informal gathering, a Wild West theme is perfect as it’s fun, laid back, and something that people can kick back and relax.
