Corporate gala dinner in Paris
awards nights and large company dinners

A corporate gala dinner is a formal evening that a company hosts for its employees, clients or partners. It is built around a seated dinner and speeches, often an awards ceremony, then a show and dancing.

It closes a year, a seminar or a convention, or marks a handover. Weevup organises your company gala dinner in Paris from the venue to the last dance, as we did for the 900 participants of KPMG’s offsite at Center Parcs du Lac d’Ailette.

We choose the venue with you, based on your guest numbers and the format of the evening, then organise the whole event there. The Molitor, our partner venue in the 16th arrondissement, welcomed Scalian’s 400 guests above its pool.

The Orangerie d’Auteuil seats up to 300 guests for dinner, and at the Louvre we created the event design for Iron Mountain’s dinner. For a larger gala, spaces for corporate dinners in Paris include the Pavillon Gabriel, which seats up to 500 guests, and the Palais Brongniart, the former stock exchange.

Yes. We adapt to every size of gala, including more than 1,000 guests, and we take on every large brief. We look for a venue that holds everyone in one space, with room for a stage, the dinner and the dance floor.

The welcome, the cloakroom, the pace of service and the shuttles home are planned at that scale. KPMG’s gala dinner and dance party at Center Parcs du Lac d’Ailette brought together 900 participants, and Scalian’s awards dinner at the Molitor welcomed 400 guests.

We place the awards at the moment when the whole room is together, on a stage that everyone can see. For Scalian’s awards dinner at La Défense, we wrote a running order timed to the minute and the speakers rehearsed on the evening itself.

At the Molitor, flooring laid across part of the pool held the stage above the water. Then the party takes over: a walking dinner, karaoke or a DJ, as the evening goes on.

Yes. Our team works in English, French and Spanish, and one project manager is your single contact from the brief to the night of the gala. We take care of everything: the venue, the whole event, the welcome, transfers and accommodation if needed.

Your guests can travel by train or by plane, depending on the time they have. International groups such as Iron Mountain and Elanco have trusted us. More about our role as a partner for international companies in Paris.

We build it with you, then keep it on the night. A gala dinner schedule usually runs like this: welcome and cloakroom, drinks while the room fills, a seated dinner with speeches between courses, the awards, a show, the dance floor, then shuttles home.

For KPMG’s offsite, the evening moved from a musical drinks reception to the gala dinner, then to a dance party for 900 participants.

We start from your guests and the venue. For its awards night in a former bank, Scalian chose Gatsby: retro buffets, an accessories stand and guests in Roaring Twenties outfits.

A dress code in the invitation, such as black tie or cocktail attire, sets the tone for everyone. We then carry the theme through the décor, the music and the menu. More ideas in our corporate party theme ideas (in French).
