December is the busiest month of the year for corporate events in Türkiye. The good rooftops, Bosphorus mansions and event spaces are usually booked for Friday nights in the first three weeks of December by early autumn, and popular bands and DJs fill their calendars at the same time. If you have a date in mind, it is worth holding it now. We plan year-end parties and New Year events for teams of 30 to several hundred in Istanbul, Izmir, Ankara and Antalya. That can be a dinner on a boat, a rooftop reception, a full awards night with stage and lighting, or a relaxed evening with a live band and a DJ afterwards. Entertainment comes from performers we have worked with before: live bands, DJs, magic and mentalism, stand-up comedy and casino-themed evenings with play money. We handle catering, drinks packages, decoration, AV, photography and transport home at the end of the night. If Fridays are already gone, a Thursday, a Saturday lunch or a January “new year” party often gets you a better venue at a better rate. ## What's included - Venue search and date holds - Menu planning with dietary needs covered - Drinks packages or open bar options - Live band, DJ and show booking - Stage, sound, lighting and screens - Decoration and photography - Transfers to the venue and home afterwards - Onsite team from set-up to the last guest ## Solutions - [Holiday & year-end parties](https://www.bravodays.com/en/solutions/holiday-year-end-parties): End the year together, from a rooftop dinner to a 600-guest party. - [Client events & VIP dinners](https://www.bravodays.com/en/solutions/client-events-vip-dinners): Dinners and events that make clients feel looked after. - [All-hands meetings](https://www.bravodays.com/en/solutions/all-hands-meetings): Everyone in one place, with production that keeps 500 people listening. - [Day events](https://www.bravodays.com/en/solutions/day-events): One day, one venue, no loose ends. ## Locations - [Istanbul](https://www.bravodays.com/en/locations/istanbul): Two continents, one waterfront agenda. - [Izmir](https://www.bravodays.com/en/locations/izmir): A relaxed Aegean city with wine country at its door. - [Ankara](https://www.bravodays.com/en/locations/ankara): The capital, built for meetings. - [Antalya & Belek](https://www.bravodays.com/en/locations/antalya-belek): Large resorts, golf and a long season on the Mediterranean. ## Experiences - [Live band and DJ party](https://www.bravodays.com/en/experiences/live-band-and-dj-party): A professional cover band for the first half of the night and a DJ to take the dance floor late, with stage, sound and lighting handled by our crew. - [Awards night production](https://www.bravodays.com/en/experiences/awards-night-production): Stage, lighting, show-calling and a host for your awards evening, produced end to end by one team. - [Magic and mentalism show](https://www.bravodays.com/en/experiences/magic-and-mentalism-show): Close-up magic between tables during the cocktail hour, then a 40-minute stage show of mentalism that pulls guests up as volunteers. - [Stand-up comedy night](https://www.bravodays.com/en/experiences/stand-up-comedy-night): A host and two comedians performing in English, Turkish or both, with material about office life tailored after a briefing with your team. - [Casino-themed evening with play money](https://www.bravodays.com/en/experiences/casino-themed-evening-with-play-money): Roulette, blackjack and poker tables run by trained croupiers, played with themed play money that guests swap for raffle tickets at the end. - [Gala dinner in a historic mansion](https://www.bravodays.com/en/experiences/gala-dinner-in-a-historic-mansion): An evening in a restored Ottoman mansion on the Bosphorus with live music, a seated dinner and an awards moment. - [Murder mystery dinner](https://www.bravodays.com/en/experiences/murder-mystery-dinner): Actors stage a crime between courses of a three-course dinner, and each table works as a detective team to name the culprit. - [Sunset Bosphorus cruise](https://www.bravodays.com/en/experiences/sunset-bosphorus-cruise): A private boat from Karaköy up to the Black Sea mouth and back, with dinner and the city lights coming on. - [Kadıköy market and meyhane evening](https://www.bravodays.com/en/experiences/kadikoy-market-and-meyhane-evening): Cross to the Asian side by ferry, taste your way through the Kadıköy market, then sit down to a long meze dinner with live fasıl music. - [Drum circle](https://www.bravodays.com/en/experiences/drum-circle): Every chair gets a darbuka, djembe or shaker, and a rhythm facilitator turns a room of beginners into one ensemble within an hour. ## Questions ### How early should we book a December party? For a Friday in the first three weeks of December, as soon as you can. Many popular venues are held by early autumn. Thursdays, Saturdays and early January dates usually stay open longer. ### Can you hold a date while we get approval? Usually yes. Most venues accept a short option without payment. We tell you the expiry date of each option so nothing lapses by accident. ### Can we combine an awards ceremony with a party? Yes, and it works well. We keep the ceremony to a tight running order during dinner, then switch the room to a band or DJ for the rest of the night. ### Do you arrange transport home? Yes. We can run shuttles to central points or the office, or book individual cars for guests who live further away, so nobody has to drive after the party. ## Related pages - [Get a quote](https://www.bravodays.com/en/get-a-quote)
