How to throw the best Christmas party
A holiday party needs classic ingredients to elevate it from a standard get-together to a more festive celebration. Some of the most important elements to consider when planning a holiday party include:
- A Festive Theme. Whether you want to channel a winter wonderland, Santa’s workshop, or a decade from Christmas past, choosing a theme makes your holiday party feel more cohesive. It also guides your choices in decor
- Cozy Decorations. Light-up trees, garlands, or candles are all classic decor items to make a room feel festive. Your color palette can also make an impact, like cool white and blue for a wintry mood or classic red and green for a more traditional Christmas look
- Mouth Watering Food. The menu is one of the most important aspects of a holiday party. Upscale events may warrant warm and luxurious dishes like bacon-wrapped scallops or steak and potatoes. Meanwhile, more casual events can feel cheerful with buffet fare, like a DIY hot chocolate station or a Christmas cookie platter.
- A Merry Soundtrack. Buddy the elf said it best: “The best way to spread Christmas cheer, is singing loud for all to hear.” Luckily, your favorite holiday songs are fully defrosted and ready to get your guests into a celebratory spirit.
- Activities & Games. While holiday gift exchanges are par for the course, consider spicing up your event with other activities. For example, try a gift-wrapping race or a holiday cocktail mixology competition.
Where to host your Christmas party in Rhode Island
Last, and most importantly, to go all out with your Christmas party planning, you’ll need to choose a venue that can accommodate your vision. Luckily, we’ve got you covered with our premium event venues in Rhode Island.
Here are five key reasons why you should host your holiday party at the best Rhode Island event venue, Kirkbrae Country Club.
1. Spaces For All Sizes
We have spaces that can host small gatherings with a handful of close family, or hundreds of people for a company-wide holiday party.
For example, our Charcoal Room accommodates up to 35 people and provides plenty of natural light to warm up a mid afternoon Christmas party. Meanwhile, the renovated Grand Ballroom can accommodate up to 350 people in opulence, complete with Turkish chandeliers and one of the largest dance floors in New England. It’s perfect for a Mariah Carey dance party.
2. In-house Catering
You don’t need to worry about contracting with third-party caterers or making food yourself. Our-award winning catering team can handle catering for you. Our award winning team crafts some of the best food in Rhode Island.
They can craft specialty dishes or cocktails especially for the season, so your guests can enjoy the taste of the holidays without you needing to lift a finger.
3. Activities For All

4. Music For The Season
To help you and your guests rock out to holiday music, we can connect you with audio equipment of nearly any size or type. Hear your holiday playlist ringing out throughout the space, and get your guests into the spirit of the season, Buddy The Elf-style.
5. Centrally Located
Our venue sits in the Blackstone Valley, just outside of Providence. While this location offers scenic views for your guests, you’re also just a 10-minute drive away from the North Central State Airport, and you’ll be close to Route 146 and I-295.

So you can celebrate the season without doing it alone.
7. Clean Up
When your party is over, you’re probably ready to go home to a roaring fire and a cup of hot cocoa. The last thing you want to do is wash dishes or vacuum the carpet. Luckily, you don’t have to at Kirkbrae.
Let our team handle the clean up after your holiday party, so your day can be full of nothing but rest and relaxation, and you can spend more time with the people you care about.
