Holiday Parties with Historic Charm: Corporate Celebrations at The Pepin Mansion

When the year winds down and your team deserves a moment to connect, something is refreshing about stepping away from the office and gathering in a setting that feels genuinely special. At The Pepin Mansion, we’ve seen how a holiday celebration can bring colleagues together in a way no regular meeting ever could. Our historic 1851 mansion in New Albany, just minutes from downtown Louisville, offers the ideal mix of elegance, comfort, and flexibility for company events of all kinds.

A Setting That Inspires Connection

Built in 1851 and restored in 2013, The Pepin Mansion combines old world charm with the convenience modern planners expect. Painted ceilings, crown moldings, and original woodwork give the space a sense of grandeur that immediately sets a festive tone. From small business teams celebrating milestones to larger corporate gatherings, the mansion’s ballroom and formal parlor adapt beautifully to different formats.

The ballroom offers space for seated dinners, cocktail receptions, or awards programs, while the formal parlor provides a refined area for conversation or photo backdrops. In warmer months, the event lawn opens additional possibilities for outdoor mingling or live entertainment beneath the lights. Whether your group prefers a plated dinner, a themed party, or a relaxed evening with cocktails and conversation, each space flows comfortably from one to another.

Flexible Packages for Every Type of Celebration

Our event packages make planning effortless while leaving room for your creative touch. The Pepin Mansion’s Private Lunch or Dinner Party package is ideal for corporate gatherings, with seating for up to 120 guests indoors or 240 outdoors under the event tent. Each setup includes full table service, gold Chiavari chairs, ivory-striped linens, china, and glassware, along with complete setup and cleanup so your team can simply arrive and enjoy.

We work with your chosen caterer for buffet or plated dining and offer flexible bar options such as open, cash, consumption based, or BYO service. To make the night even more memorable, many hosts add entertainment like a DJ, live music, or themed experiences such as Murder Mystery or Casino Night, creating a celebration that feels both effortless and uniquely yours.

Hospitality That Feels Personal

Hosting at The Pepin Mansion means working with an experienced coordination team that understands both hospitality and professionalism. Every corporate package includes an event planner, day-of coordinator, and staff support, so your team can relax and enjoy the evening.

For multi-day retreats or leadership getaways, our on site bed and breakfast suites make it easy to extend the celebration. Each room features a king sized bed, private bath, and luxury linens, with a freshly prepared breakfast served each morning. When the workday blends into a relaxed overnight stay, your team can enjoy both productivity and rest in one smooth setting.

The Pepin Experience for Business and Beyond

The Pepin Mansion isn’t just a beautiful space; it’s a venue built for flexibility. We’ve hosted everything from strategic planning sessions and company retreats to end of year parties and client appreciation dinners. Our convenient location, just minutes from downtown Louisville, makes travel simple for both local and out of town guests.

Inside, reliable WiFi and available AV support make presentations or toasts easy to manage. A large flat screen TV in the ballroom is perfect for video montages, sponsor recognition, or showcasing company highlights from the past year. When you want a celebration that feels refined yet effortless, the mansion provides both the setting and the service to make it happen.

Planning a Holiday Party That Reflects Your Team

We understand that every company has its own style of celebrating. Some prefer an elegant plated dinner, while others lean toward a casual social atmosphere with music and light bites. Whatever your vision, our team ensures that each detail, from catering coordination to timing and flow, reflects your goals.

A typical holiday event at The Pepin Mansion might begin with cocktails in the parlor, move into dinner service in the ballroom, and close with a short program or light entertainment. The mansion’s open design lets guests move comfortably between spaces, keeping the energy of the evening lively without ever feeling crowded.

And if you want to make the celebration more immersive, our overnight accommodations and breakfast service turn a single evening into a full experience. It’s a welcome touch for leadership retreats or out of town staff who want to make the most of their visit.

Conclusion
