Bring your holiday corporate event to downtown’s newest venue, and get ready for a seamless way to celebrate the end of 2024.

Monick Yards is ready to host celebrations of many sizes, with a special offer from some of its preferred vendors to make the experience even easier.

This holiday season, Monick Yards, Jane Rae Events and Chef Dominique’s Catering are partnering to offer elevated holiday packages for corporate parties.

“Monick Yards makes a great location for corporate events in regards to both location and format,” said Amy Boes, co-owner and co-manager.

“Corporate events are always striving to be downtown, and 8th & Railroad is well positioned in close proximity to many of the hotels, while also proving easy access for ride-sharing services.”

The format and design of Monick Yards serves corporate events well “due to our two different halls,” she added.

“The Grand Hall is best suited for cocktail parties, and the Reception Hall is perfect for seated dinners — both equipped with a bar and service that offers an outstanding menu, including craft cocktails. Clients can also book both spaces if they are wanting a separate area for silent auctions, casino tables and more.”

Since opening nearly a year ago, Monick Yards has hosted a range of events for local and national businesses and nonprofits, including Habitat for Humanity, The National Kidney Foundation, Girl Scouts, Startup Sioux Falls and DTSF.

“We know people are busy, especially when approaching fall and the holiday season, so we wanted to provide an all-encompassing service that makes booking effortless and easy,” Boes said.

“We understand all the legwork that goes into planning events, from curating each vendor involved, reaching out to each of them to get individualized quotes — and all within a time crunch in order to get everything reserved before vendors are booked up for the holiday season.”

Jane Rae Events will integrate with your corporate team to deliver a smooth, developed, detailed and on-brand holiday event experience for your guests. Products and services include planning, setup, centerpieces, print materials, vendor management, event holiday design and more.

“Jane Rae Events can provide planning, floral and/or decor for any size event,” event planner Ashley Anderson said. “Whether you are having a traditionally styled holiday celebration or a themed party, we can work with your team to make your vision come to life.”

Chef Dominique’s Catering will provide a curated menu to fit the event size and budget. With stunning holiday presentation and an emphasis on quality, it offers unparalleled professionalism and unrivaled service.

“We offer a variety of different menu packages, from dinner buffets, plated meals, heavy hors d’oeuvres, and anything can be customized based on budget or request. As always, we are a full-service caterer offering china, service staff, rental assistance, etc.” co-owner Jessica Fontenille said.

“Hosting holiday lunches are also great for corporate events and are more cost efficient.”

The holiday event team still has weekday and weekend availability heading into November and December, but days are filling up. Reach out soon, especially if you’re considering an event on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday.
