Greater Philadelphia Venue | Corporate Holiday Party

Each of the 250 guests at this 2015 company holiday party must have been pleasantly surprised when they entered Phoenixville Foundry on December 11^th. This Greater Philadelphia venue had been completely transformed into a cozy Colorado ski lodge!

Our creative event designers, operations team and catering staff personalized the entire holiday party, from the custom ski bar and indoor and outdoor fireplaces to the incredible selection of hearty—and nutritious—farm-to-table menu items.

Coordinating with multiple vendors and using tremendous attention to detail were the keys to our success. Here is a more intimate look at why this event was truly a work of art and catering expertise.They made our vision come to life.

“They made our vision come to life.”

Winter Décor for our Cozy Corporate Holiday Party

The weather gods were with us on that chilly evening in December, as it certainly helped set the scene for our holiday mountain theme. In the overcast but dry weather, guests could toss a plaid or fur blanket over their shoulders and snuggle up near a warm fireplace or outdoor heater.

For those wishing to be in the rustic indoor space, we invited them to get comfortable on our leather couches or wooden chairs near the indoor fireplace.

The gorgeous open concept of the Phoenixville Foundry allowed us to bring in 10 freshly cut Douglas fir trees to place around the venue. Alaskan cedar trees set the scene on the patio. The strings of white holiday lights on each tree added to the warm glow from the pendant lights, tea lights and copper décor.

Heart-Warming Desserts in a Rustic Setting

Our Greater Philadelphia guests finished their evening at the Phoenixville Foundry with the most heart-warming dessert imaginable: warm peach, apple and berry cobblers served with decadent vanilla gelato.

And for the kids at heart, we had individually wrapped packages of s’mores ingredients near the outdoor fireplaces. Guests did not even have to search for their own roasting sticks. They just grabbed a wooden stick from the basket and joined in the roasting!

Corporate Holiday Party Entertainment

The dramatic double stairway leading up to the mezzanine level of Phoenixville Foundry was the perfect place for our holiday party games and entertainment. Guests could find their competitive edge with friendly rounds of shuffleboard, pool, foosball or pop a shot (basketball hoop game). Of course, our DJ completed the ambience with a list of songs ranging from holiday classics to top hits.
