VENUE: Big Spaces for Big Parties These new large venues are ideal spots for big corporate holiday parties: LQ, a modern-looking Midtown nightclub, can hold 1,200 for receptions inside its 15,000-square-feet space. It offers two VIP sections and three bars. Avalon, a 20,000-square-foot retro-looking club in the former Limelight space, can hold 1,750 for cocktails. It offers nine separate rooms, each with its own look. New Age-y Spirit in Chelsea, scheduled to open in late November, will offer 38,000 square feet in three rooms: Mind offers tarot readings and chakra balancing, Soul is an organic food restaurant and Body is a 15,000-square-foot dance floor and performance space. And Crobar, slated to open in early December, will be an Art Deco space in Chelsea with 31,000 square feet, three VIP areas and space for 2,500.

5. CATERING: Make Them Feel Like Family Get employees talking—even if it’s just to say “pass the pasta”—by serving a family-style meal at a company holiday party. Thomas Preti Caterers suggests using long, banquet-style tables and serving large dishes of holiday fare like risotto with mussels and lobster fra diavolo. Prices start at $150 per person.
6. SPIRIT: Picture-Perfect Employees How to make employees feel involved in the party? Event producer Jes Gordon suggests putting their pictures in acrylic photo cubes of varying sizes and shapes and pairing them with dozens of twinkling votive candles. The photo cubes—available at Sam Flax for $11 to $15—can double as gifts.
7. FLOWERS: Stop and Smell the Evergreens Getting everyone into the holiday mood can be as simple as a bringing in the right flower arrangements. Plaza Flowers' holiday bouquets start with beds of dark green evergreens such as blue spruce and adds pine cones, scarlet red amaryllis blooms and roses.

Yeah catering is very important for success of any event and never thought flowers can play such an important role in corporate events. I have to arrange a party at local corporate events Chicago next month and will ensure to implement things you mentioned here.
