December in Tucson is close to perfect — seventy degrees and clear — which makes it the one month you can hold a company party outdoors and enjoy it. It is also snowbird season, so the resorts are full and priced accordingly.
Nine options and their trade-offs.
1. A hosted murder mystery at your own venue
Ours, and first because it takes you out of the seasonal venue competition — we come to your office or a room you already have.
It also breaks up the departmental clustering that makes an office party flat.
2. An outdoor party at a resort or ranch
Genuinely lovely in December and the reason people move here. Snowbird season pricing applies and they book early.
3. A restaurant buyout
Good value away from the resort corridor. Book by September.
4. A hotel ballroom
Right for a few hundred people. Peak-season rates in December.
5. A brewery buyout
Better value than the resorts and plentiful. Non-drinkers need planning for.
6. A daytime lunch
Cheaper and better attended, and the weather makes an outdoor lunch genuinely pleasant here in December.
7. A cooking class
Good for twenty to thirty and strong in this city particularly.
8. A desert evening with a fire pit
Distinctive and memorable. December nights get genuinely cold in the desert — plan for it.
9. Charitable giving instead of an event
Well received and not a party by itself.
Timing
Settle December by the end of September; snowbird season makes it earlier here than you would expect. We ask for about 45 days, so early October is the practical last call.
If you would rather not compete with the winter visitors 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.
