Company Holiday Party Venue in Long Beach

Looking for a holiday party venue that can seat up to 500 in a large ballroom or 1100 in a multi-room location?

Corporate holiday parties serve as a cornerstone for fostering a positive company culture and recognizing the hard work of employees throughout the year. These events go beyond mere celebrations; they are strategic opportunities for companies to strengthen relationships, boost morale, and align the team for the year ahead. Especially in an era of hybrid and remote work, getting everyone under the same roof to speak face to face, toast the company's accomplishments, meet spouses, and strengthen the underlying social fabric is an important undertaking as the year winds down.

For mid- to large- companies, finding a venue for the holiday party can become a more challenging task. You'll want something that can hold everyone in the same facility, a private area where your team is not intermixed with the public, and a highlight that makes the event feel memorable and festive. You'll want to make sure you have a company that knows how to treat your guests with hospitality and will create an experience that reflects well on your company and its values.

Our Approach to Corporate Holiday Parties

440 Elm offers a space that can hold up to 1100 people on the grounds with a large ballroom and similarly sized outdoor plaza and garden. For smaller groups up to ~125, where dates are available, we can supply our Parlor for a nice company dinner and room to talk.

Your team will be greeted with a hospitable team, great food and drink, and whatever exciting installations or entertainment your team wants to bring to the party! We love putting together larger groups that want to have a program in a single large room or want a more distributed strolling experience with multiple installations and places to connect with each other. We have enough space to provide options for people who want to bring the energy on the dance floor and the others who want to chill out and have deep conversations without yelling. Our hospitality first approach means that we aim to greet everyone quickly with food and beverage options, provide clear signage and communication to ensure that they know what they can do, and ensure that everyone attending feels welcome and cared for.

We know corporate holiday parties are traditionally in December - we're also excited to explore January options for those companies that are in hospitality or other industries where we race to the end of the year.
