I am trying to coordinate a “2023 kickoff” event for the staff. We have 35 employees and will include the S.O. of anyone who wishes to invite them.

Ideas on a venue in central Phoenix/downtown? We were going to go Top Golf, but too expensive. I’ve looked into Culinary Dropout, but my boss wants “options” and doesn’t want to spend $$$. Honestly, I’m f***ing over being a “party planner”.

What about Main Event?

Zoo or public park? You can do catering, bring games and the weather should be nice (for the park option). Been there and budget party planning is not easy. Good luck!

I used to work downtown and we did events at Angel’s Trumpet. They might be less expensive than Culinary Dropout

Thanks. We’re not laying for booze, but I’ll look into it.

Sometimes a lot of coworking spaces are happy to rent out their shared space after hours or on weekends. The benefits of that are that they do it really cheap, you can cater food from wherever and you can buy drinks/food from Costco and bring it in and have the catering provide a bartender. I’ve seen a couple of people do it with weddings and the difference in price over a traditional venue is shocking.

She wants something where they can also have like a game or activity which is why I was looking at CD and TG. It’s a pain.

It’s April

The Pointe on 16th street south of Northern has an AMAZING pool with slides etc... maybe you can rent a conference room amd enjoy pool games with appetizers. Also, you can rent a space with pool amd kitchen from Peerspace. They organize team building events
