The holiday season has a way of filling the calendar quickly.
There are client dinners to plan, teams to celebrate, family gatherings to organize and friends to bring together before the year comes to an end. And while choosing a date can be easy, choosing the right place to host everyone can be a little more complicated.
You want somewhere that feels special without feeling stuffy. A place where the food is worth gathering around, the drinks are something people actually look forward to, and your guests feel welcomed from the moment they arrive.
That's where Sedona comes in.
Located in the heart of Bethany Beach, Sedona offers an intimate restaurant setting for holiday parties, corporate celebrations, client entertaining, family gatherings and other special events.
With creative cuisine, craft cocktails, fine wine and the warm hospitality Sedona has been known for since 1993, your holiday gathering can feel like much more than another event on the calendar.
Planning a Holiday Party for Your Business?
For business owners, the annual holiday party is an opportunity to do something important: bring people together. Your employees spend much of the year working hard, solving problems and taking care of customers. A holiday gathering gives you an opportunity to step away from the day-to-day and celebrate what you've accomplished together.
It can also be an opportunity to thank clients, recognize important relationships or simply give your team an evening to enjoy one another's company outside of the workplace.
The setting matters.
A holiday party at Sedona gives your group a restaurant experience built around dinner, conversation and hospitality rather than a conventional banquet-style event.
Your guests can sit down together, enjoy a thoughtfully prepared meal, raise a glass and actually spend time talking. That's what makes a great holiday gathering memorable.
A Bethany Beach Holiday Party With Great Food at the Center
Food should be one of the reasons people are excited about your holiday party—not something that's simply included because an event requires dinner. Sedona's menu gives your gathering the opportunity to feel like a genuine dining experience.
Depending on your event, menus can be developed around multiple courses, shared selections, passed appetizers and other formats appropriate for your group.
Sedona favorites include Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes, Garlic Peppercorn Filet Mignon, Pan Seared Duck Breast and Fresh Catch, along with house-made desserts such as Sedona Pecan Pie and Darn Good Chocolate Cake. For a holiday celebration, the menu can become part of the occasion itself.
After all, people may forget the agenda from the year-end meeting.
They're much more likely to remember a great dinner.
Start With a Cocktail
A good holiday party shouldn't feel like everyone walks through the door and immediately sits down at a table. There's something special about giving people time to arrive, say hello and catch up before dinner begins. Sedona's cozy bar provides a natural place for that.
Guests can begin the evening with a craft cocktail, a glass of wine or another beverage while everyone arrives and settles in. Sedona's cocktail menu includes all natural fresh-squeezed Orange Crushes, signature Margaritas, Cosmos, Martinis, Old Fashioneds and other specialty cocktails. For groups, beverages can become part of the overall event experience and help set the tone for the evening.
Relaxed.
Social.
Festive.
And distinctly Sedona.
The Right Setting for Corporate Holiday Parties
Corporate holiday parties don't have to feel corporate.
In fact, the best ones often don't.
Whether you're hosting your employees, entertaining clients or bringing together business partners, you want your guests to feel comfortable enough to put work aside for a while.
Sedona offers a setting that allows your group to do exactly that.
Enjoy dinner together. Have a cocktail. Tell stories from the past year. Celebrate accomplishments. Introduce people who don't normally work together.
Most importantly, give everyone a reason to enjoy being together.
For business owners, that's often the real purpose of the holiday party.
Holiday Parties for More Than Just Businesses
Of course, holiday celebrations aren't only for companies.
Sedona can also provide a setting for:
Family holiday dinners
Friends' holiday gatherings
Client appreciation events
Team celebrations
End-of-year dinners
Retirement celebrations
Milestone celebrations
Holiday parties for local organizations
Small group celebrations
Private dinners
The important thing is having a setting that allows everyone to enjoy the occasion together.
A Holiday Party in Bethany Beach
For those who live or work in the Delaware beach communities, hosting your holiday party in Bethany Beach has another advantage: you don't have to travel far to create an evening that feels different from an ordinary night out. Sedona is located at 26 North Pennsylvania Avenue in Bethany Beach, close to the beach and boardwalk.
That makes it convenient for local businesses, residents and guests staying in the area. And because Sedona is a restaurant first, your event naturally revolves around what people actually want from a holiday gathering:
Good food. Good drinks. Good conversation.
Planning Earlier Makes Everything Easier
Holiday calendars fill quickly.
Businesses are often trying to find dates that work around employee schedules, family commitments and other end-of-year events. Popular evenings can disappear quickly. That's why we recommend beginning the conversation early. You don't need to have every detail figured out before contacting Sedona.
Start with the basics:
Your preferred date.
Your approximate number of guests.
The type of event you're planning.
And what you'd like the evening to feel like.
From there, we can begin discussing the possibilities.
Private Holiday Events at Sedona
Sedona's private event program is available November through February, making the restaurant available for private gatherings during the winter and holiday season. Our team can work with you to create an event around your group, from the food and beverages to the flow of the evening.
Whether you're planning a company holiday party for your employees, a client appreciation dinner or a gathering with family and friends, the goal is the same:
Create an evening your guests will genuinely enjoy.
Not just another holiday party.
A Sedona experience.
Give Your Team Something to Look Forward To
For business owners, the holiday season is an opportunity to recognize the people who helped make the year possible. You don't need an elaborate production.
Sometimes, the most meaningful gesture is simply bringing everyone together, putting great food on the table, pouring a good glass of wine and giving people permission to relax.
That's what a holiday party should be. And that's exactly the kind of gathering we'd love to create at Sedona.
