The company holiday party is the one night a year when everyone stops working and celebrates together. A laser light show at a corporate holiday party gives that night a moment people talk about on Monday, and photos and videos your team actually wants to share.
Electric Holiday Miami brings laser shows, holiday lighting, a DJ and professional sound to company parties across Miami-Dade and South Florida.
Four ways to use lasers at a company party
1. The entrance
Guests walk in under a canopy of light. Beams and color washes at the entrance set the mood the second people arrive, and it makes for a great photo spot.
2. The showtime moment
A 5–10 minute laser show timed to music, usually right after dinner or speeches, is the centerpiece of the night. It’s a natural transition from the formal part of the evening to the party.
3. Leadership or awards reveal
If your party includes awards, a year-in-review or an announcement, lasers and lighting can build up to the reveal the same way they build to a tree lighting.
4. The dance floor
After the show, lasers and moving lights keep the dance floor going, with the DJ controlling the energy for the rest of the night.
Indoor vs. outdoor venues
Outdoor venues such as rooftops, courtyards, backyards and parking lots give lasers the most room, and South Florida’s December weather is usually mild. Indoor venues such as ballrooms, warehouses and restaurants work too, but the show is designed around ceiling height, the room’s layout, and the venue’s rules on haze and smoke detectors. Haze is what makes laser beams visible in the air. Without it, you only see dots where the beams hit a surface. Our explainer on how laser light shows work covers this in more detail.
Questions your venue will ask
- How much power the equipment needs, and where it plugs in
- Whether haze or fog will be used, and whether smoke detectors need to be managed by the venue
- Load-in and load-out times
- Insurance certificates
We handle these conversations with the venue’s event manager so you don’t have to.
Adding your brand
Ask about using your company colors in the lighting design. Matching the stage wash and laser palette to your brand makes the room feel custom and looks great in photos. Lasers can also project simple text and graphics, which some companies use for a year number or a short message.
Keeping it comfortable for everyone
Not every guest wants to be on a dance floor. Good corporate show design keeps beams above head height, avoids strobing near dining tables, and keeps the volume at a level where people can still talk. The show should feel exciting without overwhelming the room.
A sample timeline
- 6:30 p.m. Arrival with entrance lighting and background music
- 7:15 p.m. Dinner with soft ambient lighting
- 8:15 p.m. Welcome and awards
- 8:45 p.m. Laser showtime
- 9:00 p.m. DJ and dance floor with lasers until close
One team instead of five vendors
Corporate parties usually need several vendors: a DJ, a sound company, a lighting company and sometimes video. Our production team from Nation Wide Sound DJ’s, working South Florida events since 1989, provides DJ, sound, lighting, lasers, staging, video and livestreaming together. That means one contact and one timeline. If you’re comparing companies, our list of questions to ask a laser show company is a good place to start.
