The Santa Clarita Valley is home to dozens of small, independently-owned businesses. They are your local coffee shop, bookstore, law office, and more. These businesses are important pillars of the community and are responsible for employing hundreds of residents.
Running a business is usually more than a full-time job. It requires wearing many hats and putting in long hours. Hard-working, reliable employees are also essential to the success of your business.
Sometimes you need to set all the strategic planning and number crunching aside and take yourself and your group of employees out of the office for something special. Hosting a private event can be a great opportunity to breathe life into your company and express appreciation to your staff.
The Paseo Club is a private club with several venue spaces and comprehensive event planning services available to the Santa Clarita Community. In this article, you will learn the benefits small businesses experience when they host private events, what types of events you may want to organize, and what events your company can enjoy at the Paseo Club.
What are the benefits of hosting private events for small businesses?
Taking your staff out of the office and into a new, fun environment can help foster feelings of appreciation and connection and breathe new life into the business. Boosting employee morale can help a company have less turnover, increased productivity, and, ultimately, more revenue.

- Celebrate important milestones or seasonal celebrations
- Enhance group connection through social engagement and activities
What types of events might a small business need to host?

Private company events are opportunities to celebrate the company and the staff, participate in team education and building activities, or support local causes.

How can a small business organize an event? Does it need to be complicated?
Private events can be as simple or as complex as you want. Smaller companies tend to need just a few small activities, but it can get fancy for special occasions when you want to go all out.
Begin by compiling a list with these details:
- Date or dates of the event
- Theme and decor for the event
- Number of people who will attend
- Types of activities you’d like to offer
- Any additional equipment or staff needed
- If you will need meals or small plates, and the menu
- If you’ll provide alcoholic beverages or not, and what types
You may be a social butterfly and love organizing all the details for your event. However, if you are busy running your business, turning to an events coordinator can be a huge help.
Event coordinators can share with you all the options available to you, making suggestions about menus, staff, decor, activities, and the flow of the event.
This support can dramatically reduce the time you need to spend researching, planning, and hosting your event, freeing you up to oversee your company.
