Office parties are wonderful opportunities to boost morale, encourage camaraderie, and curate close networking opportunities. Stunning entertainment options make for a lovely conduit into any of these New York office party goals, and we’ve collected a few of our top picks for office party entertainment options below. Without engaging and impressive event entertainment, your corporate event or social celebration could be boring. Elevate the wow factor with innovative ways to entertain your guests.
1. New York Paint And Sip
New York City is great for new and upcoming art and artists alike. Paint-and-sip entertainment is a great way to try something new with a group, bond over that shared experience, and have some laughs at the same time.
To elevate this in even more genuine New York fashion, consider contracting with a local artist in a medium that would be well-received by your team. Supporting locals is always a winning option.
2. Make Your Own Office Party Dessert
Whether it be s’mores, parfaits, or individual ice cream creations, an interactive dessert station can be a novel avenue to encourage casual mingling amongst peers. New York has the best culinary minds in the country, and businesses like Pure Confections are consistent food-based event entertainment knockouts.
3. Try Out a Not-So-Permanent Tattoo
Henna tattoo stations are entertaining and serve a double purpose as a keepsake from your office party. This temporary body art lasts longer than the quarter vending machine type, and designs can be personalized. Add in a special design option to give your company an extra branding opportunity. If you’re looking for a more family-friendly option, face painting would also suffice!
4. Dueling Piano Shows
One of the most entertaining and unique event entertainment options for an office event is a dueling piano show. Delight your NYC event guests with melodic mastery and a little friendly competition at the ivories. Find talented dueling pianists all around the city and bring them to your next corporate event!
5. A Craft Cocktail and Mocktail Bar
Not only does a bartender or barista add an element of sophistication, but these types of stations can also bring some competitiveness to the event. Add in some friendly competition about crafting their drink creation, and whoever’s the best wins (something).
6. In-Office Scavenger Hunt, But Make It Casual
Scavenger hunts could be considered a cult-classic type of event entertainment, but the classics sure do die hard. This is a lower-key entertainment addition to an office party and is best done silent-auction style. Each guest receives a scavenger hunt list for the party, and while the scavenger hunt will not be announced, guests have to try and scavenge without being caught by a designated “watcher.”
7. Live Dance Troupe Performances
Elevating an office get-together by hiring a dance troupe to perform for your guests is genius. Guests can expand their cultural knowledge and sensitivity and engage with in-person entertainment all in the same breath.
