Memorial Service Resources

September 20, 2001

In the aftermath of the World Trade Center attacks, many event planners who typically specialize in planning fun, lighter fare will likely be charged with the unenviable task of planning memorial services for companies that have lost employees. To help those planners, we have compiled a simple directory linking to areas of the BiZBash resource directory that might be appropriate for a memorial service or another type of corporate event held to respond to the tragedy.

For tips on the appropriate etiquette for such events, refer to our Etiquette Tips for Dealing with Tragedy report. And if you're thinking of displaying an American flag at an event, you can refer to the National Flag Foundation's Web site.

    Sometimes, leaning into the season through cozy, winter-inspired decor can add a natural warmth to your event design. For a corporate holiday party held in December 2023, Sterling Engagements created a stylish wintry retreat in a lodge-like setting. The space featured snow-dusted trees, serene blue lighting inspired by the winter sky, and a color palette complemented by shimmering metallics that were designed to catch the light.
