Just got some fun news, my CEO decided he wants to have an office Christmas party this and just told me I'm in charge of it... Does anyone have any suggestions on where I can host a party for around Christmas for 150-220 people? I know this is super last minute

Call some of the coworking spaces. A lot of the independent ones rent out their common areas after hours for cheap. And the usually have a kitchen area and bar area. So you have caterers come in, get booze cheap from Costco and hire a bartender

Where are you located?

I've been to a Christmas party at Warehouse215 before. Nice, versatile space - not sure how much the rental fee runs though.

The Icehouse (downtown Phoenix)

Do you prefer an indoor or outdoor setting?

When is the party again? There's a big chance that most event spaces are gonna be booked and busy around this time.

Whatever the closest shopping center conference area to you is (desert ridge, anthem, fashion square, the Chandler one, west gate, etc. they have the facilities already! It’s ok to use them (paying, of course). They love businesses

This is a very sensible idea actually, it might be your best bet OP!

We had our Christnas Party at Event On Jackson last year. I loved the space. There was so much room for everyone to have fun. The food is outstanding as well! Staff are very accomodating.

Hi, OP! Where's your location? Also, what's your theme?

Desert botanical garden

I have worked with Forbes top companies, for-profits, non-profits, & startups. I consider myself a solver of complex & complicated problems requiring mixed method research & novel solutions. This has led to issues in self-referencing title. I’ve been project manager, data engineer, developer, modeler, analysts, principle DB developer, etc. Most of my w2 work has been from offers of 1099 clients so I am usually asked to define my own title. Any T-shaped data people who run into this?
