Top Christmas party tips for PAs
Go through your entire event from start to finish and make a checklist so you know what to ask to ensure everything you want is included in the package you’re agreeing to. No two venues work the same way, so understanding the features of minimum spends and all inclusive packages is time consuming but essential.

Lucky Voice advices PAs to get their booking in early
Christmas is the busiest time of year so rooms get full early on, especially peak slots! Make sure you confirm all dietary needs and organise a package to ensure food and beverage is ready for your party upon arrival. Lastly, don’t forget to get everyone’s signature karaoke tune and load up the playlist beforehand by heading to www.luckyvoicekaraoke.com!
More ideas for great Christmas parties on London’s South Bank
South Bank Venues:
South Bank has so much to offer at Christmas time, the whole area is a vibrant mix of festivity with a range of corporate venues, stylish restaurants and world-class attractions, all against the backdrop of the South Bank Christmas Market and fairy-lit Queen’s Walk riverside promenade. There really is something for everyone!
Getting the team together for some competitive socialising is great, especially if you want something sans-alcohol. The winter pop-up Curling Club or London Dungeon Escape Room are ideal!
If a boozy dinner is your vibe, there’s a ton of restaurants to choose from. Try Caribbean restaurant Limin, American dive bar Passyunk or the design-led Art Yard for something a bit different.
If Christmas to you means a glittering black-tie ball, Park Plaza Westminster Bridge accommodates up to 1000 in its pillarless Ballroom. Or if you want views of the city too, Sea Containers Events has some stunning rooftop suites.
What should be on top of PAs’ Christmas Party plan?
One word. Communication.
There’s nothing worse as a guest than wondering what you’re allowed to order, whether you can have another drink, what you’re expected to pay for, or that you’ve booked your taxi way too early! People feel more relaxed being informed, so give them a heads-up on what’s in store so that everyone has a good time.

It may be May, but here at Viva Esprit, we’re starting to sprinkle some of our Christmas magic, working with our clients to create exceptional Christmas events for their teams. Now is the time to secure party venues particularly for the first two weeks of December, and we’re using our creative talents to design experiences worth remembering for this special time of year.

Party planning on top of your day job may feel like an extra strain. That’s why at Viva Esprit, we love nothing more than creating exceptional celebrations, allowing you to enjoy the event as a guest, not the organiser.
