Creative Corporate Event Décor

To bring the Mario Kart theme to life, Kitsch Event Styling delivered vibrant, custom event décor. Their colorful design transformed Atlassian’s office into an immersive gaming-inspired environment, showcasing how professional event styling in Austin elevates a company gathering into a full experience.

Interactive Team-Building Activities

The star attraction? A real-life Mario Kart slot car track by Game Plan Entertainment. Complete with Rainbow Road, this interactive activity turned colleagues into competitors, encouraging teamwork, laughter, and a bit of friendly rivalry. For companies looking for unique team-building activities in Austin, this was the ultimate crowd-pleaser.

Audio, Visuals & Energy

Keeping the energy high, Groove Labs handled corporate event AV production and emcee duties. Their music, video projection, and live race updates ensured the tournament ran smoothly while maintaining a lively, engaging atmosphere — a must for any corporate party or team-building event.

Catering & Specialty Drinks

Corporate catering was led by Guckenheimer, serving crowd favorites like caprese skewers, stuffed mushrooms, and spicy peach wings. At the bar, Root Cellar Catering created craft cocktails, including the night’s specialty drink — Princess Peach Sangria. The refreshing blend of wine, Grand Marnier, peaches, and fresh herbs gave this Austin corporate happy hour a signature touch.

Sweet Finish

Guests ended the night on a sweet note with custom cookies from Polkadots Bakery. Adding a personalized dessert option is a favorite recommendation from Eclipse Event Co. when planning Austin corporate celebrations.

Memories Captured

Every candid laugh and Mario Kart victory pose was beautifully photographed by Shelley Elena Photography. Professional event photography ensures that team-building events are remembered long after the last race.
