Team Event Venues for Shared Experiences

Frequently asked questions about team events

What occasions is a team event suitable for?

A team event fits any moment that should bring a team together: the end of a project, the start of the year, new colleagues or celebrating a success. What matters is that the format suits the occasion. After a milestone it can be more relaxed, while a new team benefits from smaller groups and plenty of conversation. Define the occasion before you compare venues.

Which types of venue work well for a team event?

Venues with their own atmosphere and room for activities are especially popular, such as fincas, castles or lifestyle hotels. What matters most are enough rooms for overnight stays, outdoor areas for activities and one space where everyone can eat or celebrate together. Travel time should also suit the occasion.

When is a team event better than a company event?

A team event is aimed at one team or department and can be shaped in a personal, individual way. A company event often involves the whole company or external guests and needs more capacity and organisation. If the focus is on working together more effectively, team building is the right choice.

How far in advance should I plan a team event?

As a rule of thumb, allow one to three months, and more if you need accommodation or are aiming for popular dates. Sought-after venues get booked up early in the summer months and before the holidays. Settle the date and number of participants within the team first, so your enquiries can quickly become concrete.

Which costs are often forgotten for a team event?

Travel to and from the venue, transfers, drinks, technical equipment, programme facilitation and a buffer for the unexpected are often overlooked. On top of accommodation, catering and activities, allow around 10 to 15 per cent for these. Collecting all items early helps you avoid surprises when the bill arrives.
