Know your audience: For a large crowd, choose a menu that can accommodate different dietary preferences. Luckily, Together & Company developed a holiday menu with new flavors and holiday favorites for everyone on your team to enjoy and have a good time!

Add some expertise: Ask your Event Designer about selecting wines that pair well with your menu. Consider requesting a sign at the bar that suggests some pairings for your guests!

Break up the space: Rental furniture and decor are great tools to create moments of privacy for guests who want to take a beat and enjoy their food in a smaller group.

The most important part of any holiday party is the food and drinks. Guests are going to create their own merriment and activities, so the right backdrop and the right food is key!
