They say all that is old will become new again.  Maybe it’s a sign I’m getting old?  When things come back, reinvented and labeled vintage?  I am a huge fan of this movement; I’m an even bigger fan when it’s something I think should have never left us in the first place. 

The Office Happy Hour (and Classic Martini!!!) is something I miss terribly.  I love that it is making a come back, I have no idea why we stopped having them!  Want a raise?  Close a deal? Ask the girl from the 3^rd floor out? Talk your boss into casual Friday?  What better way to do all those things than over a well deserved martini after a grueling work day!  Have clients to entertain?  What’s better than a casual happy hour?  It’s not stuffy, not pretentious, and not expensive.

The Courtyard on St James has 5 distinct Happy Hour Menus, perfectly themed and ready to book!  Grab your office staff and celebrate one martini at a time.  Call  me at 713-621-0555 to plan your next office party.

Want your employees to give their all?  Show them the love!  Employee appreciation has been shown to motivate a positive attitude, ignite inner spark and build a sense of loyalty.  How do you show appreciation?  Well, the first answer is obvious-cold hard cash.  But a great alternative to boost morale is an office party!  The March 2nd, 2012 is Employee Appreciation Day, this (often ignored) holiday seems to have fallen by the way side...like Flag Day or National Margarita Day.  It's time to revive the ever important holiday and celebrate!  We have 3 rooms for just such parties, from 30-300.  Show your employees they are valued by way of great food and cocktails. 

Call us for details and see what specials we are running for Employee Appreciation Day.  713-621-0555

 Breaking the ice during a holiday party can be an arduous task.  Make it easier on yourself and have a fail proof plan.  Casino parties are all the rage; they appeal to every age group and are easy to organize.  

Hire an experienced company to set-up your tables with friendly professional staff to get the ball rolling.   Allow the company to bring a variety of games, appealing to the masses.   

It's the perfect ending to a seated meal filled with speeches and awards and enables your staff to mingle.  Sitting around a roulette table will get everyone excited and feed into friendly competition. 

The Courtyard on St. James has the perfect venue for your next holiday party.  We work with many professional casino companies to set-up the perfect party and ensure a night of great fun. Call me at 713-621-0555 to get the party started!

Believe it or not June is the time to start thinking about your corporate holiday party.  Too soon? Not a chance. 

I constantly see overworked office admins, tired HR people, and stressed secretaries scrambling at the 11th hour to find a venue in October that will not look like something they found last minute.  Truth be told,  if you take your prime date off the market in June you will have nothing to worry about in December.... other than coordinating the white elephant gift exchange and keeping that one special person away from the egg nog.
