Rackspace Technology Christmas Party

The Rackspace Technology End of Year Party – a chance for the team to come together, reflect on the year’s successes, and celebrate in a relaxed and festive setting.

It’s local to our UK HQ in Hayes, which made it convenient and accessible for the team. The venue also had a great atmosphere for a Christmas celebration and was the right size for our group.

We aimed for a relaxed evening with colleagues and friends, with a warm, Christmassy feel.

The idea was to create a fun, informal environment where everyone could unwind and enjoy themselves after a busy year.

We felt that a live band would be much more interactive and engaging than a DJ. Rockit, the 3-piece rock and pop band, stood out to us because their performance videos showed great energy and versatility, and their style suited our age demographic perfectly.

We wanted something lively and familiar that would get people involved and on the dance floor.

The standout moments were when the band created interactive elements during their performance. They really engaged with the crowd and encouraged participation, which helped build a brilliant atmosphere and kept the energy high throughout the evening.

We heard about Function Central through the venue, The Drayton Court, who had Rockit listed in a brochure from a recent wedding fair (which we didn’t attend ourselves).

Once we looked into the band and saw the quality of the videos and information provided, we felt confident booking through you.

We’d recommend starting a party playlist in advance to capture the vibe and musical tastes of your attendees. This gave the band a clearer idea of what would resonate with the crowd and helped them tailor the setlist perfectly on the night.
