Planning Your Holiday Party

It's never too early to plan your holiday party to ensure you get your preferred date, time, and event package.


Setting a Date and Time

Depending on the holiday, you'll want to secure your date and time at CrystalView at least three to four months before the event. Friday and Saturday nights are ideal for most holiday parties.


Guest List and Invitations

Assemble your guest list well in advance of the event, and send the invitations at least three to four weeks ahead of time. If you're throwing a large or formal party, consider sending out invitations even sooner to allow your guests time to shop for the proper attire.


Holiday Theme Ideas

Holiday parties are cheerful and festive events. You can make them even more fun with select holiday themes. Our staff can work with you on themes from traditional to quirky.


Catering and Menu Options

All parties need food and beverage service to keep guests hydrated and fed.


The Importance of Delicious Food

Catering Options at CrystalView

We work with the area's top catering vendors. Whether you want a casual passed appetizer event or an elegant formal dinner, our catering team will deliver top-quality food and service.


Beverage Selections

Holiday parties require a large selection of beverages. Offer guests white and red wine, and consider having our catering staff create holiday cocktails. Have enough champagne for a special toast and stock water, sparkling water, sodas, coffee, and tea.


Decor and Ambiance

While CrystalView offers an elegant and sophisticated setting, creating specific holiday decor helps elevate your party atmosphere.


Holiday Decorations

Work with our event planners for your preferred holiday decorations. Whether you want specific religious or traditional holiday decorations, we'll help adorn your rented space.


Lighting and Music

Lights and music add a festive theme to your holiday party. Our team can add twinkling lights, candles, or disco lights based on your party preference. The right music will keep your guests in the holiday mood.


Personal Touches

Adding personal touches such as a family photo collage, heirloom decorations, or music crafted by someone special adds a personal feel to your party.


Entertainment Ideas

Keep your party alive with music and interactive games to help your guests engage and feel comfortable with each other.


Live Music vs. a DJ

Music is essential for any holiday party, but should you have live music or a DJ? Either option is viable at CrystalView, as we have all the equipment needed for a live band or DJ.


Interactive Activities

Interactive games are a fun way to engage your guests. Fun games can include Name That Holiday Tune, ugly sweater contests, or karaoke with holiday songs.
