Learn how London companies are reimagining their office spaces for unforgettable social events, from cocktail nights to chef-led dinners.
What if your office could do more than host meetings and deadlines? Imagine walking into your workspace on a Friday evening and finding it transformed into a buzzing cocktail bar, a pop-up restaurant, or even a live music lounge.
For London companies, especially in the tech, fintech and creative sectors, the office has become more than just a workplace, it’s a hub for community and culture. And with HOMETAINMENT, transforming your boardroom into a bar (or any event venue you can dream of) is easier than you think.
Here’s how to turn your office into a show-stopping event space that your team, and clients, will never forget.
Every great transformation begins with a concept. Whether you want a chic cocktail soirée, a fine dining experience, or a casual after-work social, your theme sets the tone for music, food, and drinks.
Why it works: Themes create excitement and cohesion, helping guests feel immersed the moment they step in.
Pro tip: Choose something that fits your company’s personality: “Tech meets Tiki”, “Festive Speakeasy”, or “Startup Supper Club”.
Your office doesn’t need to look like an office. Move desks, clear open spaces, and create dedicated zones:
Why it works: Dynamic layouts help people move, mingle, and engage, key ingredients for a successful social.
Pro tip: Choose experiences that naturally guide people to different zones, start with cocktails, move to dining, and end with entertainment for a seamless flow.
No great event happens without great food. Whether it’s a private chef cooking in your office kitchen, a cocktail masterclass, or a grazing table, the right culinary experience is what takes your event from standard to standout.
Why it works: Shared food experiences create instant connection and joy, and HOMETAINMENT makes it all effortless.
Pro tip: Design a custom menu to match your event theme, from festive small plates to sushi bars or plant-based dining.
The best way to shift the office mood? Add music. From acoustic duos and jazz trios to DJs and saxophonists, live entertainment sets the pace of the evening.
Why it works: Music transforms your office atmosphere and helps your team unwind naturally.
Pro tip: Start with mellow background tunes during dinner, then build up to dancefloor energy later in the night.
Small touches make a big difference, personalised menus, themed cocktails, or even awards celebrating team milestones can add an emotional connection.
Why it works: It turns an ordinary event into something that feels uniquely “yours”.
Pro tip: Give every attendee a keepsake, such as a photo card or cocktail recipe named after your company values.
It’s easy to underestimate the details, but they’re what make an event seamless. Think catering setup, equipment, timing, and post-event clean-up.
Why it works: Good logistics mean you can enjoy your own event instead of worrying about the small stuff.
Pro tip: HOMETAINMENT handles it all, our team manages everything from setup to pack-down, so your office is spotless by Monday morning.
Transformations aren’t just about the décor, they’re about people. Use the event to celebrate achievements, recognise hard work, or welcome new joiners.
Why it works: Recognition boosts morale, reinforces culture, and adds meaning to your celebration.
Pro tip: Add a short, heartfelt thank-you speech or video highlight reel to reflect on the year’s achievements.
Hire a photographer to document your transformed space and smiling team. Not only is it great content for internal morale, but it also showcases your company culture to future hires and clients.
Why it works: Visual storytelling creates lasting memories and shareable marketing assets.
Pro tip: Add a photo booth with branded props for extra fun, perfect for social media sharing.
Turning a workspace into an event venue might sound like a challenge, but with the right partners, it’s effortless. HOMETAINMENT’s experts handle everything, from private chefs and entertainers to layout, and logistics, so you can enjoy the transformation stress-free.
Why it works: You get one point of contact, full creative control, and an unforgettable result.
Pro tip: Plan early if your event is near key dates (Christmas, product launches, or quarterly wrap-ups) to secure top talent.
Your office can be more than just a place to work, it can be where your team celebrates, connects, and grows together.
With HOMETAINMENT, transforming your London workspace into a bespoke event venue is simple, stylish, and stress-free. From private chefs and mixologists to musicians and event design, we’ll turn your everyday environment into an extraordinary experience.
