Holiday party event production plays a major role in how companies celebrate, connect, and close out the year. More than just decorations and music, it’s about creating an experience that reflects company culture, strengthens relationships, and leaves a lasting impression on guests. From lighting and entertainment to branding and flow, every production detail matters.

This season, Charisma Event Productions delivered full-service holiday party event production for several standout corporate celebrations across Utah. Each event had its own vision, venue, and energy — from immersive environments to refined, high-end gatherings. Below is a behind-the-scenes look at three holiday parties we recently produced for Edwards, MX, and Fortis Construction, showcasing how thoughtful production transforms great venues into unforgettable experiences.

Edwards Holiday Party

Venue: Loveland Living Planet Aquarium

Edwards chose the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium as the backdrop for their holiday party — a venue that instantly delivers atmosphere and visual impact. Our role was to enhance the space while layering in branded, high-energy production elements that complemented the aquatic environment.

We installed LED posters throughout the venue to showcase dynamic visuals and branded content, adding a modern digital touch. A DJ set the tone for the evening, while entrance tube lighting created a dramatic and exciting arrival experience for guests.

To reinforce Edwards’ brand, we incorporated custom logo projection and uplighting that added warmth and color without overpowering the venue. A roaming photographer captured candid moments throughout the night, while a videographer documented the full event, giving Edwards content they can use long after the party ended.

This celebration is a great example of how strategic holiday party event production can transform a unique venue into a fully immersive corporate experience.

MX Holiday Party

Venue: Natural History Museum of Utah

The MX holiday party combined sophistication, creativity, and high-end entertainment in one of Utah’s most iconic venues. Hosted at the Natural History Museum of Utah, this event leaned into architectural beauty while elevating the space with custom production design.

We created a custom backdrop that served as a visual centerpiece and photo moment, paired with a professional photographer to capture guests throughout the evening. Pattern wash lighting added texture and movement to the venue walls, while uplighting highlighted the museum’s natural stone and modern design.

Both indoor and outdoor logo projection ensured MX branding was visible from arrival through the main event spaces. LED posters added a sleek digital element, and pin spot lighting was used to illuminate food displays — a subtle detail that significantly elevated the guest experience.

For entertainment, the combination of a DJ and live sax player created an energetic yet refined atmosphere that kept guests engaged all night. This event perfectly illustrates how thoughtful holiday party event production brings together lighting, entertainment, and branding into a cohesive experience.

Fortis Construction Holiday Party

Venue: Crescent Hall Event Venue
Partner: LUX Catering

The Fortis Construction holiday party focused on clean execution, collaboration, and a welcoming environment for guests. Hosted at Crescent Hall Event Venue, the event required a polished setup that balanced functionality with ambiance.

We installed pipe and drape to help define the space and enhance the room layout, paired with uplighting to add warmth and visual interest throughout the venue. A TV display supported visual content and messaging, while a professional sound system ensured clear audio for music and announcements.

This event was produced in partnership with LUX Catering, allowing both teams to work closely together to create a seamless guest experience from production to dining. It’s a great example of how effective holiday party event production doesn’t always require over-the-top elements — just the right tools, partners, and execution.

Each of these events highlights something different, but they all share one common thread: intentional design and professional execution. Whether it’s a high-energy aquarium celebration, a refined museum event, or a streamlined corporate gathering, successful holiday party event production ensures guests feel engaged, comfortable, and impressed.
