When it comes to planning your Carmel holiday office party, the secret to an unforgettable night isn’t just good food and festive décor — it’s great entertainment. A talented band, interactive photo moments, or a creative activity can completely elevate your event, keeping your team laughing, mingling, and celebrating all evening long. Whether you’re looking for live music or something more unique, here are some of the best entertainment ideas to make your holiday party at BASH one to remember.
Entertainment Idea No. 1: Local Live Bands
A live band brings unmatched energy to a holiday celebration. Carmel and nearby Indianapolis are full of incredible local talent, from high-energy cover bands like The Doo! Band to smooth jazz ensembles perfect for dinner hour. Live music instantly transforms your office party into a night out, setting the mood and getting guests on their feet once the dance floor opens.
Entertainment Idea No. 2: DJ + Dance Floor Glow-Up
If you want to keep things high-energy, a DJ is your best bet. Professional DJs can read the room, keep the music flowing, and customize playlists for every moment of the evening. At BASH, our open floor plan and neutral palette let you go all out with uplighting, custom dance floor decals, or LED glow sticks to take your party from casual to club-level fun.
Entertainment Idea No. 3: Photo Booth Moments
Give your guests a reason to strike a pose! A photo booth adds instant excitement (and a built-in party favor). You can choose from digital booths, glam filters, or even 360° video setups. At BASH, there’s plenty of room to create a themed backdrop — from winter wonderland to your company logo — so every photo feels personal and on-brand.
Entertainment Idea No. 4: Interactive Food & Drink Stations
Turn dining into an experience with interactive stations that double as entertainment. Think build-your-own hot cocoa bars, custom cocktails, or festive dessert decorating. Guests love getting hands-on, and these moments encourage mingling across departments. Bonus: BASH’s flexible layout makes it easy to set up multiple stations so the fun flows throughout the space.
Entertainment Idea No. 5: Holiday Game Hour
Friendly competition is always a hit. Organize a trivia session about your company, a holiday-themed scavenger hunt, or a “Best Festive Sweater” contest. It’s a great way to get guests involved, break the ice, and add a playful twist to the evening. With BASH’s open concept, you can easily create zones for games, prizes, and team activities.
Entertainment Idea No. 6: Connection Corners
Not everyone wants to be on the dance floor all night — and that’s okay! Rent games right from BASH so guests can chat, connect, and engage in some friendly competition. Build even more connection with a live caricature artist or tarot card reader to make these spaces feel extra special. BASH’s mix of modern design and flexibility makes it the perfect setting for these creative experiences.
