December in St. Pete is the best weather of the year and the start of the season, so venues are pricing for visitors and snowbirds. Booking early matters more here than in a northern city where December is nobody's first choice.
1. A hosted murder mystery at your own venue
Ours, and first because it removes you from seasonal competition and from the bridge question at the same time.
It also gets people out of their own departments.
2. A restaurant buyout
Good downtown options and December pricing. Book by September.
3. A waterfront venue
The weather cooperates, which is why everyone wants it. Book early.
4. A hotel ballroom
Right for a few hundred people. Peak-season rates.
5. A brewery buyout
Better value and plentiful. Non-drinkers need thought.
6. A daytime lunch
Cheaper and better attended, especially for staff crossing the bay.
7. A museum evening
The Dalí and the Chihuly are genuine draws. Guests wander.
8. A cooking class
Good for twenty to thirty and reliably indoors.
9. Charitable giving instead of an event
Well received and not a party by itself.
Timing
Settle December by the end of September. We ask for about 45 days, so early October is the practical last call.
If you would rather not compete with the season for a venue, We bring the host, the storyline and every piece of the game to your venue, and we ask for about 45 days so it can be staffed and prepared properly. Pricing and availability shows what your guest count works out to, you can book a date directly, and the contact page reaches a person if you would rather talk it through first.
