​Fall Is Here, and We're Everywhere: Pierce Events' Biggest Season Yet

10/7/2026

If you're wondering where we have been — the answer is everywhere.

We just crossed our 60th event production of the year. September alone had us running events across West Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania in a single weekend, and we took a crew of seven down to Marshall University for homecoming weekend. Then we kicked off October at the Pittsburgh Gaming Expo (October 2–4), where we rolled out something genuinely exciting: a new partnership between Amazon and Xfinity that lets people access gaming content with no console — play a video game as easily as streaming a movie.

And we're just getting started.

October is stacked. This month alone we're running 20 events across six states — grand openings, festivals, a national tour — with new people coming on board to help make it all happen. Here's a taste of what's coming up:

- **Berwick Riverfest** (October 9–11) — three full days of festival action in Berwick
- **Walmart grand opening celebration in Blairsville, PA** (October 9) — stage, sampling, and plenty of energy to open the day
- **Springettsbury Movie Night** (October 9) — an evening under the stars
- **Cranberry Colorwalk** (October 11) — bright, fun, and family-friendly

Beyond that, fall brings festival season in full swing, tailgate parties, and we'll once again be part of **Light Up Night** in Pittsburgh as the holiday season begins.

None of this happens alone. Our growing crew of event staff is out there in every state, making each event happen no matter what the day throws at them.

If you've been to one of our events this year — thank you. The crowds, the energy, the chaos — that's what we live for. And if you haven't caught us yet, come find us this fall. We're everywhere.

Jingle All the Way: 3 Keys to Elevating Your Corporate Holiday Party

Jingle All the Way: 3 Keys to Elevating Your Corporate Holiday Party

The corporate holiday party is more than just an annual tradition; it’s a crucial opportunity to recognize success, boost morale, and reinforce company culture. But escaping the typical, tired office party requires professional planning and production.
As Pittsburgh’s premier event planners with nationwide reach, Pierce Events knows how to turn a standard celebration into a memorable, high-impact experience.
Here are three key strategies to make your corporate holiday party the highlight of the year.


1. Master the Theme: Go Beyond Red and Green

A powerful visual theme sets the stage for an unforgettable evening. Move past generic holiday decor and create an atmosphere that truly feels unique and immersive.
  • Winter Wonderland Glamour: Focus on elegant production elements like cool-toned uplighting, white florals, specialty linens, and silver or gold accents. We can provide full staging, custom lighting rigs, and professional event design that transforms a venue into a sophisticated seasonal escape.
  • Throwback Retro: For a fun, high-energy party, consider a theme like "A Mid-Century Modern Holiday" or an "80s Ski Lodge Party." This requires specific set dressing, and unique lighting patterns that our production team can manage flawlessly.
  • Highlight Your Brand: Incorporate subtle elements that tie the celebration back to your company's identity. Custom gobos to project your company logo in a seasonal pattern, or integrate brand colors into the decor scheme.

2. Entertainment That Connects, Not Just Background Noise

The right entertainment ensures your event isn't just a dinner—it’s a dynamic party. This is where the Pierce Events team truly shines, utilizing our expertise in DJ Entertainment and Live Entertainment.
  • The Power of the DJ/MC: A professional DJ and Master of Ceremonies (MC) does more than play music; they control the energy of the room. Our experienced DJs specialize in reading a corporate crowd, blending classic hits with modern favorites, and ensuring seamless transitions for speeches and awards.
  • Live Performance Wow Factor: Consider adding live elements before or after dinner. A talented acoustic guitarist, a professional jazz trio, or a modern, high-energy cover band can significantly raise the prestige of the evening. We handle the logistics, sound engineering, and staging requirements for any live act.
  • Interactive Fun: Beyond music, incorporate an interactive element, like a sophisticated photobooth, a professional magician roaming the cocktail hour, or even a customized trivia game about the company year.

3. Leverage "One-Call Simplicity" for Stress-Free Success

Planning a large-scale holiday event involves dozens of moving parts: venue coordination, vendor contracts, sound checks, lighting installation, and staffing. Trying to manage this internally adds enormous stress during an already busy season.
  • Full Production Management: Whether your event is a grand gala in a Pittsburgh ballroom or a nationwide streaming company-wide broadcast, we manage all event production. This includes permits, rigging, audio-visual (AV), and back-of-house logistics.
  • Staffing & Execution: Our team provides professional, experienced event staff and brand ambassadors to ensure every detail on the night runs smoothly, from check-in to final breakdown.
  • Budget Clarity: We work with you to create tailored, end-to-end solutions that fit your budget, eliminating unexpected costs and vendor coordination nightmares.\


Don't wait to start planning. Leverage Pierce Events' 17+ years of excellence and "One-Call Simplicity" to ensure your celebration is the most talked-about event of the year.
