A festive moment to slow down
When the year has been full of pace and pressure, the best festive celebration is one that allows everyone to pause. By Candlelight party concept feels like gathering around the table with dear friends. Candlelight, natural textures and warm, thoughtful styling create a calming space where the rush of everyday life has no place. Guests arrive to a softly lit room where pale mulled wine is served as a gentle welcome.
Dinner is served family-style, with generous sharing dishes that spark conversation and create a sense of togetherness. Carefully chosen wines complete the experience, and the atmosphere feels more like a heartfelt celebration at home than a formal corporate event.
The evening also includes something to do together: guests can make their own festive wreaths with guided instruction, or join a cocktail workshop using fresh herbs and seasonal ingredients.
Finally, when hearts are warm and bellies full, a live party band lifts the mood with a soft, joyful energy.
By Candlelight is the perfect festive concept for companies looking to thank their teams in a way that feels personal, heartfelt and meaningful.
Our proposal for an Unforgettable By Candlelight Celebration
Style & Atmosphere: Warm, soft and meaningful
Venue: Rake Hall
Dress code: Relaxed and comfortable – the priority is feeling at ease
Setting the scene:
- Warm, gentle lighting — no spotlights, just soft glows
- Plenty of candles and warm-toned florals (eucalyptus, dried branches, muted colours)
- Natural textures: wood, moss, linen and wool in the décor and details
- Welcome drink: pale mulled wine served in beautiful glasses on arrival
Dinner
- Family-style dining: large sharing dishes placed on each table, creating the feeling of gathering with loved ones
- Quality wines selected to share freely, not served stifflya
- Space for sharing small “memories or thank-yous” around the table – either freely or with light guidance
Activities – shared moments full of joy
- Wreath workshop: guided session where everyone makes their own small festive wreath to take home
- Cocktail school: create warm or herb-forward winter cocktails using fresh ingredients
- Additional activity ideas:
- Gratitude pouch: everyone receives an anonymous positive message from someone during the evening
- Silent candle moment: a short collective moment to light a candle for the year’s most grateful memory
- Live acoustic music: gentle background music during dinner (e.g. cello, guitar or kantele)
Later in the evening
- The room subtly transforms, lights lift slightly while the warm atmosphere remains
- A party band takes the stage, the energy rises but stays warm and communal
- After the band, soft background music continues to encourage guests to linger and enjoy the space
