Let’s be real: too many corporate events are cookie-cutter and, well… boring. (Sorry, Susan from HR, but nobody wants another icebreaker about “fun facts.”) The good news? If you’re planning a corporate event or team-building activity in Orange County, you don’t have to settle for beige.
At Soulland Lab in Old Towne Orange, we’ve hosted everything from startup happy hours to big-company holiday parties and we know what actually gets people excited. Whether you’re planning an in-person gathering or a hybrid Zoom session, here are five ways to make your next corporate event in Orange County something your team will actually enjoy.
1. Swap PowerPoints for Paint Brushes 🎨
Tired of long presentations? Let your team relax and create. At Soulland Lab, teams paint canvases, tote bags, or pottery, no experience required. It’s hands-on, stress-busting, and the perfect way to break down barriers between coworkers.
2. Add a Theme They’ll Actually Talk About 🎶
Themes change everything. From 90s Hip Hop Nights to Britney Spears Paint & Sip Tributes to Glow-in-the-Dark Blacklight Art Sessions, your corporate event instantly feels fresh. These themed experiences also double as perfect Instagram moments hello, free marketing for your company culture.
3. Fuel Collaboration with Food & Drinks 🍷
Great teams need great snacks. Many companies bring in local Orange County catering, charcuterie boards, or even coffee trucks. At Soulland Lab, outside catering is welcome and trust us, painting pottery with champagne in hand hits different.
4. Make a Team Memory Wall 🖌️
Instead of tossing name tags, create a collaborative piece of art. Your team can paint a giant tote bag, group canvas, or pottery set that lives in your office as a reminder of the day. It’s a lot cooler than another framed mission statement.
5. Give Remote Teams Something Real ✨
Still on Zoom? Ship mini paint kits to your employees and host a virtual paint night. Unlike another round of trivia, this keeps people engaged and ends with everyone showing off a piece of art in their workspace. Remote-friendly team building at its best.
