The Honest Answer
Start with the right space, add a little planning, and sprinkle in food, drinks, and fun. The holidays are busy, but your party doesn’t have to feel like work.
Making Seasons Bright
The holiday season is all about connection. It’s the one time of year when friends, colleagues, and families put busy schedules on pause to celebrate together. The best parties? They’re the ones people remember, not because they were extravagant, but because they felt thoughtful, joyful, and full of energy.
If you’re ready to plan a gathering that gets people talking long after the lights come down, here are some tips for making your holiday party at Lower Lincoln nothing short of epic.
5 Tips to a Holly Jolly Time
- Pick the Perfect Backdrop
Location matters, and Lower Lincoln makes it easy to get it right. Want a cozy dinner with your closest circle? Planning a big bash with music, games, and room to dance? Our 6,800-square-foot lower level is ready to host you!
Think of it this way: the space sets the tone. Sleek, modern design meets the flexibility to transform into whatever vibe you’re going for: classy cocktail lounge, festive winter wonderland, or casual “ugly sweater” bash.
- Set the Mood
A great holiday party is more than food and drinks; it’s an experience. Lighting, décor, and music go a long way toward creating atmosphere.
The best part about hosting at Lower Lincoln? You’re starting with a blank, yet beautiful, canvas. Bring in twinkle lights, set up a playlist, or lean into a theme. With flexible layouts and ample room to make it your own, the space accommodates your creativity.
- Bring the Food (and a Cup of Cheer)
Ask anyone what they remember most about a holiday party, and chances are, food is at the top of the list. Whether it’s festive hors d’oeuvres, a buffet-style dinner, or a signature holiday cocktail, this is your chance to wow your guests.
Because Lower Lincoln doesn’t lock you into one vendor, you can customize your catering however you like. Bring in your favorite restaurant, local baker, or bar service… or mix and match. Pair it with seasonal drinks like hot cocoa or holiday punch to keep spirits high.
- Plan a Moment of Fun
It’s the little extras that elevate an event from “nice” to “unforgettable.” Think photo booths with silly props, a raffle for fun prizes, or even a live music set.
At Lower Lincoln, our spaces are wired for tech, so you can livestream a performance, hook up a DJ, or project a slideshow of your year’s highlights. When people laugh, move, and engage, your party becomes more than a gathering; it becomes a memory.
- Book Early, Celebrate Big
Here’s the not-so-glamorous truth: holiday dates go fast. Waiting until November almost guarantees you’ll be scrambling for what’s left. Booking your space early is the secret to keeping stress low and anticipation high.
At Lower Lincoln, you’ll not only lock in your preferred date, but you’ll also give yourself time to focus on the fun details… like whether your party playlist leans more Mariah Carey or Michael Bublé.
Final Thought: Go Big on Joy
The holidays are about more than food and gifts; they’re about creating moments of joy. And when you host at Lower Lincoln, you get a space that lets you do just that.
So go ahead. Dream big, book early, and let’s make this year’s holiday party the one your guests won’t stop talking about.
