October is the perfect time to take networking to the next level. Whether you’re hosting clients, colleagues, or friends, adding a curated experience ensures your event will be memorable.
For your own inspiration, we spoke with Night Inn -- an experiential events company that connects clients with top-tier chefs, sommeliers, mixologists, and more -- to get some fun and out-of-the-box ideas that are sure to make your gathering unforgettable.
Halloween “Spirits” Cocktail Experience
For a show-stopping cocktail hour, dive into a world of creative drinks with the “Halloween Spirits” cocktail experience. A master mixologist will wow your guests with concoctions like a smoke-infused purple “witches brew,” a bright and citrusy “green goblin,” and a classic “poison apple” old fashioned. These vibrant cocktails are perfectly paired with themed appetizers and sweets, ensuring a seamless flow of conversation and fun.
“Fall Harvest” Cocktail Making
Embrace the flavors of autumn with the “Fall Harvest” cocktail-making experience. This event features three signature cocktails—one shaken, one stirred, and one sparkling—each highlighting seasonal ingredients like apples, fresh berries, fall spices, honey, and cranberries. Guests can savor these drinks alongside sweet and savory bites that perfectly complement the flavors, creating a cozy, flavorful celebration of the season. Consider employing an adept bartender or mixologist to guide your guests through the cocktail-making process. With expert instruction, your event will seamlessly blend entertainment and education, ensuring everyone leaves with new skills and seasonal cocktail inspiration.
“Bring the Magic” Halloween Party
Want to leave your guests spellbound? Combine entertainment and libations with Night Inn’s “Bring the Magic” party. Choose from magicians, tarot card readers, or oracles, and pair the performances with a tailored bar offering cocktails, wine, and non-alcoholic drinks for an event that’s as engaging as it is delicious.
“I love Night Inn! They have the coolest experts on tap—from chefs, to sommeliers, to mixologists. How great would it be to have a cocktail night and mini mixology class at home where you do none of the work and have all of the fun? I would love to host an ‘Art of the Martini’ event and finally learn how to make one shaken, not stirred, for when James Bond pops by. Queue Goldfinger.” - Marjorie Flannigan MacLachlan, Brown Harris Stevens Broker
