Corporate Summer Events Made Easy

What to Plan for Your Summer Team Event—And Why Great Companies Trust Partyman Catering to Deliver It

If you’re searching for what to plan for your Q3 team celebration or looking to refresh your 2025 corporate summer event strategy, you’re not alone. Across Upstate NY, companies are leveraging the season to energize culture, bring teams together, and celebrate progress—and we’re here to help you make the most of it.

At Partyman, we don’t just plan culture-driven events—we live them. As a certified Top Workplace, we prioritize connection, morale, and celebration within our own team, and our upcoming annual Funner Olympics is the ultimate team favorite of that effort.

Imagine a high-spirited showdown where teams suit up, compete in wild and wacky games, and celebrate with food, fanfare, and a whole lot of laughter. That’s our Funner Olympics—a mid-season tradition we throw every summer to hype up our crew and keep our culture thriving. It’s part party, part competition, and fully unforgettable.

With years of hosting, refining, and celebrating under our belts, we know what makes a team event click—and we’d love to help you bring that same energy to yours.

We partner with teams all across the Greater Rochester Area to deliver seamless planning, standout food, and team-centered experiences—refined through years of hands-on execution. We know how to craft summer events that feel thoughtful, engaging, and entirely your own. Whether it’s a backyard bash or a full-scale offsite, we build celebrations around your team’s style, goals, and energy.
