Designing Your Luxury Family Day

We here at A Company Picnic love themes. It’s always special and enjoyable to build a staff and family day around a certain theme. There’s no shortage of theme ideas to choose from, and all of them can be taken to the next level and turned into something decadent. Here are a few themes upgraded to luxury status:

Carnival/Circus

With a Carnival or Circus theme, there are plenty of amazing ways to ritz it up. If you’re looking for a circus-style cookout, we can always bring in your very own big top and fill it up with amazing stilt-walkers, acrobats or cirque performers, magicians, and puppeteers. We could even bring in camels for your guests to ride! For a more fair-style event, we’d be happy to bring in a Ferris wheel and carnival rides all your own. Luxe food that pairs well with this event is decadent sweets and finger foods like macarons, canapes, and calamari; something your guests can munch on while they enjoy the entertainment.

Western

Though Western themes usually invoke rustic, earthy imagery, there’s plenty of ways you can upscale a Western picnic. Gold flaked food or golden décor would be fitting for a Gold Rush-era Western cookout. We can turn a location turned into a real Western town with costumed actors, authentic entertainment, and plenty of horses to ride, so your guests are fully immersed in history. Some ritzy food for this theme would be succulent prime steak, prime ribs, and mouthwatering Texas BBQ. Entertainment that would elevate this theme is, definitely, panning for your own gold.

Luau

We love planning luxurious Luau company picnics. There’s so many ways you can make one more and more decadent. From bringing in authentic dancers from Hawaii, to handing out kukui nut leis, we can definitely find ways to pamper your team. For luxe food options, we’d recommend bringing in some branded fresh coconuts. These coconuts are stamped with your company’s logo and full of delicious, sweet coconut water, keeping your guests hydrated between rounds of games and Hula dance lessons.

Winter

Winter themed employee appreciation days are truly magical. While we do host events in winter, it doesn’t have to even be winter! Even in the dog days of summer, we can bring in snow machines to turn your chosen location into a winter wonderland. If you’re looking for a lavish snow day, there’s no shortage of ways to take one to the next level. Some really elegant winter menu options are whole roasted game hen or duck, roasted whole pig, and hot cocoa made with fresh chocolate. Some swanky entertainment would be ice skating (we’ll provide the rink!), horse drawn carriage rides through a snowy park (we’ll also prove the snow!), and intricate ice sculptures.

Safari

Safari themed staff picnics are always so much fun. We love bringing in animal handlers to showcase their critters and give presentations about them. It’s always loads of fun watching guests meet furry, feathered, and scaled friends. To elevate your Safari company picnic, we’d recommend bringing in authentic African performers and some authentic African dishes. South African-style prime steak, grilled chicken piri piri, and fried plantains.

A Luxury employee appreciation day is an amazing way to make your team feel treasured. By focusing on rich foods, lavish décor, and posh, unique experiences, you can easily make any staff barbeque luxe. Here at A Company Picnic, we’re ready to make your dreams a reality. From ritzy decorations to sought-after venues, there’s no aspect too big or small for us to make happen.
