Client Appreciations
Want to know how to throw a successful client appreciation party? Give your customers a special night to remember with delicious food, creative cocktails, and great conversation. La Navona can accommodate parties of 40 to 250, so tell your clients to bring a few friends.
A customer who feels appreciated is more likely to stay with your company for the long haul and recommend you to others, and a party is a nice way to say thank you for their business. The goal of a client appreciation party is not only to have an incredible time, but also strengthen client relationships, encourage networking, and get some qualified referrals.
Holiday Parties
Holiday parties not only show employee appreciation, they’re also important for employee morale. Just like customers, employees want to be acknowledged for their commitment to the company, not to mention their hard work. Create a positive company culture by hosting a Christmas party, Fourth of July celebration, or another holiday bash.
Holiday gatherings are a great way for newer employees to get to know coworkers, and established employees can mingle with people they don’t normally get to talk to because they work in different departments, on different floors or even in different offices. Let your employees bring a significant other and get to know them on a more personal level.
Milestone Celebrations
Celebrate your employees’ personal workplace milestones to show that you value their contributions to the company. Depending on the size, you can reward the entire company, a specific department, or single out individual achievements. One great way to reward a large group is with a special luncheon or dinner banquet that recognizes their outstanding accomplishments at work.
Everyone likes to be appreciated, and employees want to know that their work is having an impact on the company’s success. Plus, showing appreciation when colleagues reach workplace milestones can have positive results such as increased employee loyalty, drive and productivity. If your sales team exceeded their sales goal for the quarter or someone has a big work anniversary coming up, why not throw a company party that everyone will remember? They are sure to appreciate it!
Rehearsal Dinners and Family Gatherings near the Columbus, Ohio, area
If you’re planning a rehearsal dinner or family gathering in the Columbus, Ohio area, hosting it at La Navona makes it convenient and easy. Rehearsal dinners are prewedding celebrations for friends and family to spend time together in a relaxed setting before the big day. Whether you want a sit-down dinner or cocktail party, the food and atmosphere can reflect either a formal or casual celebration. It can even be a lunch or brunch!
There are many ways to celebrate family gatherings, such as reunions, birthday parties or anniversaries, and each family has its own way of doing things. Why add extra pressure on yourself by preparing all the food or hosting the event at your home? We can take care of the menu and the venue to help make your next celebration special (and less stressful) so you can create even more good memories.
Dinner Buffet
Dinner buffets are a popular dining option because each guest can create their own plate. We can arrange a lovely spread of delicious entrées and side dishes so even picky eaters can find something they like, and maybe try something new.
Another benefit of buffet dinners is they require people to get up and walk around, which encourages socializing. If you’re looking to host an affordable and casual dinner party, that is still elegant and satisfying, buffets are a perfect way to offer a lot of meal choices at one time.
La Navona offers an amazing array of menu choices, and from casual to gourmet. Check out our All-Inclusive Packages menu for descriptions of what’s included in each menu option and pricing.
Family-Style Meals
Some people consider a family-style meal to be a little more formal than a buffet dinner, but still casual and inviting. With a family-style dinner, servers bring large dishes to each table, and guests serve themselves, then pass the dishes around to each other.
Casual and comfortable, family-style dining encourages guests to interact with each other at their table and creates a warm and relaxing atmosphere, just like a family dinner. What better way for out-of-town guests to catch up and busy family members to reunite than over a hot savory meal? Your guests get to eat what they want in a fun environment. Did someone say, “Pass the peas?”
Check out our All-Inclusive packages menu for descriptions of what’s included in each menu option and pricing.
Individually Plated Dinners
With plated dinners, guests are served a pre-selected entrée individually. Considered to be a classy and elegant dining option, guests remain seated during the entire meal since there is no need to get up or wait in any lines. Plates are pre-portioned and everyone at the table gets their food at the same time. The selections on our plated dinners range from lamb chops and prime rib to bourbon-glazed pork chops or surf & turf.
Treat your guests to a delicious plated dinner for the individual attention one expects from a fine dining experience. Great for milestone wedding anniversaries or other extra special celebrations, plated meals eliminate wait times, ensure a consistent serve time, and allow conversations to flow without interruption. Unless, of course, you want to give a toast! (In fact, we encourage toasts… and we can even offer champagne or sparkling cider for a modest added fee.)
Check out our All-Inclusive packages menu for descriptions of what’s included in each menu option and pricing.
Beverages & Desserts
Depending on the type of party and your guest list, you can offer non-alcoholic beverages or have a full open bar. Non-alcoholic options include juice, coffee, hot and iced tea, and soda. We also have gourmet coffee and hot chocolate. Beverages can be setup at stations where guests can help themselves.
For rehearsal dinners and family gatherings that also offer cocktails, wine or beer, you can choose from one of our bar packages:
Cash Bar: With a cash bar, your guests pay for their own drinks (with cash or credit cards).
Host Bar: If your guests aren’t big drinkers, this option may work best. With a host bar, we keep a running tab and you simply pay for the alcohol served. We can also provide drink tickets for a flat per-ticket rate to help keep track of the consumption (and the budget).
Open Bar: Priced per guest, an open bar is the best option if you want unlimited service.
After eating a delicious meal what’s better than a sweet dessert? Maybe two sweet desserts! La Navona has decadent sweet treats to top off any meal.
Dessert options include:
- Petit fours
- Cookies & brownie bites
- Mini cupcakes
