HOLIDAY PARTIES
Absolut Christmas Party
Client’s Request:
Our client wanted to hold a Christmas party for his staff to show his appreciation for all their hard work and dedication. Given his busy schedule and job responsibilities, he did not have the time to secure a venue and plan the details so he reached out to Colorado Corporate Escapes. He wanted his guests to arrive in style, be treated like royalty, enjoy good food with high quality, made-to-order cocktails and of course, dance the night away.
Results:
Without sufficient notice, booking a venue for Christmas can be a challenge for corporate event planners. The availability of space is limited and people are always so busy with the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. We had to act quickly to secure a venue that met all the client’s requirements and accommodated 100 people. Fortunately, we had established connections with executives from Absolut Vodka and were able to secure the venue at the Atelier in Stockholm, Sweden.
This building was the home of Absolut and therefore, we were able to help our client offset some of the rental costs. And, with Absolut as a sponsor, guests were offered unlimited cocktails. We retained the services of a disc jockey and a caterer that provided delicious appetizers for this special evening. Knowing that attendees would be decked out for this magical event, we arranged for a long red carpet and hired a photographer. The guests felt like celebrities as the photographer snapped their photos along the red carpet. And, our client was pleased that we created a memorable evening for his 100 guests.

Kraftskiva! Crayfish Party
Client’s Request:
Our client wanted to immerse his team into the Swedish culture and had no idea how to do so. He learned that there was a traditional celebration during the summertime, but did not have the time or energy to learn what that entailed. He asked us to host and create a Kraftskiva event. Kraftskiva is a crayfish party that the Nordic countries traditionally celebrate in August.
Results:
Colorado Corporate Escapes (Formally Skål) was hired not only to research the holiday, but to create something similar so that our client’s team would be able to experience this fun tradition. We learned that all one needs for a successful Kraftskiva are some friends and a lot of freshly boiled crayfish. Therefore, we booked a restaurant that was able to accommodate a large group.
We arrived at the restaurant early so we could add some crayfish-related decor to the tables. In addition, we had negotiated with the manager to include a shot for everyone who attended that evening. The guests arrived hungry, thirsty, and ready to feast! We were fortunate to have a couple of Swedes join the group who taught everyone the Swedish chant, KRAFTSKIVA! Other traditional Swedish songs were sung, the crayfish hats and bibs were a huge hit, and our client was thrilled with the event.
