Company evenings are important events for any company. These are events that bring most employees together to discuss the near future of the company, and more particularly to spend a convivial moment, away from the pressure and heavy responsibilities of everyday life. These events require real organisation. It is therefore imperative to prepare this type of event in advance to ensure its success. Every detail counts: the date, the venue, the type of catering, the equipment required, and so on.
Since 1976, Vedettes de Paris has played an important role in the world of discovery cruises on the Seine. At the same time, the company is proud to take on the role of escort to help you organise a corporate evening on the Seine, on Gustave. Its floating space at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, designed exclusively for events. Take full advantage of the advice offered by our Les Evénements Vedettes team and our long-standing service providers to make your corporate evening a memorable one. Here are the stages;
Definition of objectives
Defining the objectives of your corporate evening will enable you to set a global and common vision for your creative team, so that they can all move in the same direction during the event. It’s a good idea to define several objectives explicitly, leaving no room for interpretation;
- Reinforcing team cohesion
- Training teams
- Presenting a new product or service
- Rewarding salaries for good results over the year
- Bringing managers together to discuss a crisis situation
- Celebrating an event
Whatever your objectives, your evening event will be an opportunity to bring together staff, management and possibly partners and customers, in an original and convivial setting, which will strengthen social cohesion and corporate culture.
Choice of location
The next step is to find a venue that will make a lasting impression on the guests. To begin with, this venue must have sufficient capacity to accommodate all the guests and be geographically accessible to all. The rental of our barge at Vedettes de Paris has been designed to meet all these requirements. There’s no better way to motivate employees and surprise them at the same time with this unusual venue! This floating venue is made up of three modular levels, which can be adapted to all types of tailor-made events for up to 150 people. And don’t forget the breathtaking view of the Eiffel Tower.
Organising a programme
Organising an evening also means defining times. You will therefore need to prepare a programme, paying particular attention to meal times and the start of activities (if necessary). Always leave room for unforeseen circumstances. Prepare contingency plans in advance in case a service provider cancels or you forget something. Because it’s during this evening that you’ll need to show your creativity, by organising team-building activities and entertainment to strengthen the links between employees, encouraging mutual support and teamwork.
Selecting food for everyone
When it comes to food, the most practical and appropriate for a corporate evening is a buffet. Don’t forget to provide a bar with refreshments throughout the event, so you can quench your thirst after a few wild dance moves. A buffet with an aperitif and a hearty meal is an excellent idea, allowing everyone to choose what they like and making it easier for the different guests to move around and talk to each other. If required, Les Evénements Vedettes can call on the catering services of 4810.
Check and bring the necessary equipment
A company party needs the right equipment to carry out the various activities and entertainment on the programme. Whether it’s DJ turntables or power strips for activities requiring electricity, a single oversight would be fatal for your company party. You need to make sure that the venue provides you with wi-fi access as well as adequate equipment such as a paper-borad, a microphone or a TV screen. Our Gustave venue has all these items in stock. However, you should bring something to write on or a laptop to project a presentation.
