🎮✨ Ready Player One? Leveling Up the Gala Game ✨🎮

Our events team just hit the high score our annual Sporting KC Awards Gala: “Pitch Black: Game On!” 🎉 From start to finish, we powered up the night with video game nostalgia and immersive experiences that had everyone pressing start on the fun! ✨

From the start, we wanted guests to feel like they were on an adventure. We made sure they were quest-ready by equipping their packs with a Zelda-inspired map to navigate all the hidden levels throughout the event. 🔍

Arcade Alley in the Sporting Locker Room was like finding a hidden cheat code! 🎮 Guests were granted an exclusive peek into the Sporting Locker Room which was transformed into a retro gaming paradise. With vintage Pac-Man and Mortal Kombat battles, we kept everyone button-mashing through the night. 🕹️ And a secret bar was tucked away to keep the drinks flowing and the fun rolling! 🍹👾

We used the wall of TVs in the UMB Field club to tap into guests’ nostalgia – creating a Console Continuum - spanning from OG Nintendo to the latest consoles. Here, guests could respawn childhood memories and unlock new favorites. Meanwhile, the VR experience in the Interview Room sponsored by had guests warping into new dimensions! 🎧🕶️

No video game-themed event would be complete without an airbrush artist! 90s kids – you feel me? 🎨 An artist custom painted guests' names and/or the Sporting logo on hats and bags provided by —because even the swag needed its own upgrade! 🧢👜

Our menu was lit—literally! ✨For drinks, we served up signature cocktails like the Fire Flower—a GLOW IN THE DARK DRINK featuring . 🔥🍸

And for those ready to upgrade their skills, we offered intimate mixology classes taking place in our stadium speakeasy - the ultimate boss battle in drink-making. 🏆

We didn’t just create a theme—we leveled up the whole event, turning it into a fully playable experience. Game Over? Nope! We’re just getting started.

Insert coin to start the adventure! 🎮

Feeding your reputation with Fantastic Catering 🍽️

“Right but… what kind of food do you think they’ll have at this thing?…”

You can select a perfect venue, curate thrilling content and book the most rapturous speakers. But the truth of the matter is, when you know the food’s going to be good at a conference, you’re far more likely to attend.

A great menu isn't just a luxury—it's a powerful tool for elevating your event's – and even your organization’s reputation!

Here’s how to use food to build your reputation for hosting unforgettable events:

1. Understand the assignment. Know who your guests are - you may even want to conduct a pre-event survey! Do your guests have specific tastes? Dietary restrictions? Preferences? Tailor your menu cater to a wide range of tastes, ensuring everyone feels included.

2. Use your Menu to Boost Productivity. Well-fed attendees are more alert and engaged. Research suggests that foods high in protein and fiber can increase productivity and attention spans. A well-fed crowd is a productive crowd!

3. Turn on The Food Network. Already, sharing a meal can encourage conversation and break down barriers. But a buffet-style setup can allow attendees to move around and try different foods, which can lead to more interactions and valuable connections. It’s connection with a side of culinary delight – guests network AND THEY WON’T EVEN REALIZE IT.

4. Brain Breaks: Just like kids need snack breaks to reset their focus, adults benefit from similar opportunities. A tempting snack station offers a refreshing pause, helping attendees recharge and fostering better interaction in the second half of your event.

With Argyle Events’ in-house catering, your next event will be remembered not just for what was discussed, but for what was savored. Let us help you create an experience that’s as memorable as it is delicious—more attendees, more buzz, just the way you like it!

We love this innovative trend to host the wedding (ceremony, reception and all!) BEFORE the 'rehearsal dinner'.

"I've seen so many couples and families who are unable to enjoy their rehearsal dinners because they have to be up at 9am for hair and makeup the next day or because they're panicking about speaking or standing before a huge body of people. Couples who have made this decision cherish the time it gave them to relax."

We're all restructuring the "formal, traditional" wedding into something that feels more personal, and give couples more quality time to make memories with their loved ones.

"We are going to be able to relish and savor this special night in our lives, and then have this full weekend to really be present with our people. We feel like we are giving ourselves the greatest gift."

What do you think? Would you have your wedding cake and eat it too?

Some couples are opting to get the wedding out of the way first, so they can relax and enjoy the rest of the festivities.

Why Booking Your Holiday Party on a Thursday is a Game-Changer

Hey event planners! ✨ It’s time to book that holiday party. Amidst year-end chaos, a corporate holiday party isn’t just fun—it’s a statement of your company’s values.

Holiday parties build culture, boost morale, and foster connections. Plus, they create cherished traditions and a sense of belonging.

But consider this: Hosting your bash on a Thursday shows you value work-life balance. A Thursday party means your team can celebrate without sacrificing their weekend, allowing them to recharge and spend quality time with loved ones. Weekends are often packed with personal plans, and a Saturday party can feel like an extension of work, leading to burnout.

Let’s make thoughtful choices for our celebrations. A happy, well-rested team is the secret to a thriving workplace.

We've lot plenty of thrilling Thursdays and spectacular spaces to satisfy all your holiday planning needs! Contact us today to book yours! 💙✨

💥“But Why, Tho?” Unlocking the Power of Purpose in Event Planning💥

In the fast-paced world of event planning, it's easy to get lost in the details – juggling venues, vendors, budgets, logistics, and all the tiny details. We get caught up on the “how” and forget about the single most important aspect of almost anything – “why”.

But why a 'why'? Good question. Here's how knowing your 'why' can make a huge difference in event planning.

Purposeful Planning: Your 'why' is your North Star. It helps every detail fall into place, from venue to menu. When you’re clear on your 'why,' everything aligns perfectly, making your event feel authentic and cohesive.

Engagement and Excitement: A solid 'why' is like event magic—it gets everyone hyped and keeps them hooked. Whether it’s a conference or a wedding, a strong 'why' adds that extra spark that makes your event unforgettable.

Resilience and Innovation: Challenges are inevitable, but a strong 'why' gives you the superpower to tackle any curveball and think outside the box. It keeps you focused and motivated, even when things don’t go as planned.

Authenticity and Connection: Being real about your 'why' builds trust and makes your event unforgettable. It ensures every interaction is genuine, leaving a lasting impression on your guests.

So next time you’re knee-deep in planning, take a beat and ask yourself: "But why, tho?"
