How many guests can attend an event?

What is the difference between a corporate social event and a company party?

A corporate social event is typically relationship-led and flexible in format, designed to bring colleagues, clients, or stakeholders together in a relaxed setting without a fixed occasion as the driver. A company party is celebration-led, anchored to a specific moment, such as a summer party, a Christmas celebration, or a milestone anniversary. Both formats are available on the Thames and can be tailored to your group, but the planning approach differs. The team will help you identify the right format based on your objectives, guest profile, and the atmosphere you want to create.

What entertainment options are available?

Entertainment options for corporate socials include DJs, live bands, acoustic acts, garden games, quiz formats, and themed experiences. Full details are available on the entertainment options page. The team will recommend the right format based on your guest profile, group size, and preferred atmosphere.

What catering options are available?

Corporate social events can be catered with canapés, bowl food, buffets, street food, deck barbecues, or formal seated dining, alongside tailored drinks and bar packages. Full details are available on the catering options page. Your Senior Event Planner will recommend the most suitable format based on the style and pace of your event.

Can we add branding or theming to our corporate social event?

Yes. Corporate social events can be styled around a theme or your company brand, with options including branded flags, banners, bespoke décor, table styling, and themed entertainment. The planning team will work with your brief to create a cohesive look and feel across the event.
