Planning a corporate team building event in Orlando on short notice can feel almost impossible — especially when you’re trying to coordinate food, drinks, and an activity for a large group.
Most teams assume they need weeks (if not months) to pull everything together.
But for companies visiting the city, especially for conferences, the real challenge is finding things to do near the Orange County Convention Center that are quick to plan and actually enjoyable. That’s exactly what happened when NewRocket reached out to us to plan a last-minute team building event.
A One-Week Turnaround for 31 Guests
NewRocket contacted us looking to organize a team event for 31 guests — and they needed it done fast.
Within just one week, we were able to coordinate everything:
- Axe throwing lanes
- Catering
- Full bar service
- Event flow and timing
At our axe throwing venue in Orlando, this is something we take a lot of pride in. As a smaller, boutique-style space, we’re able to stay flexible and move quickly — even when timelines are tight.
Honestly, this is where we stand out. Larger venues usually need more time, approvals, and back-and-forth. We can make decisions quickly and just make it happen. In many cases, we’re even able to help organize last-minute corporate events in Orlando in just a few days.
Why Smaller, Boutique Venues Make a Big Difference
One thing we’ve noticed over time — especially with corporate groups — is that flexibility matters more than people expect. Plans change, timelines shift, and having a venue that can adjust makes everything easier.
That’s why companies searching for team building activities in Orlando on short notice often end up choosing a more hands-on, responsive venue like ours. We’re able to adapt quickly and focus on what actually matters — making the event work.
Catering That Guests Actually Remember
Along with the activity, catering played a big role in the experience.
The NewRocket team loved the food — something we hear often from corporate groups who don’t expect much from event catering. Within minutes of the food coming out, people were already going back for seconds — a few even joked they didn’t expect the food to be this good at an axe throwing venue. Plates were filling up fast, and the food area stayed busy for a good portion of the event.
Because everything is prepared fresh in-house, it completely changes the experience compared to venues that rely on pre-made options. That’s one of the reasons corporate events with catering in Orlando continue to grow in popularity.
Great Value on International Drive
Hosting an event on International Drive usually comes with high expectations — and often high prices. One thing we always try to do is offer affordable corporate event venues in Orlando without cutting corners.
We work closely with each group to:
- Stay within their budget
- Customize food and drink options
- Build a full experience that makes sense for them
Honestly, we always try to figure something out. Every group is different, and we’d rather make it work than lose the opportunity to host a great event.
A 5-Star Experience from Start to Finish
After the event, Lauren Lieto from NewRocket shared this review:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I worked directly with Gerald to plan our company event for 30 people. Communication was great from start to finish and we were able to pull off a great team building event in one week! The drink and menu options were great for a great price. Would 10/10 recommend this location for any team building event! Thank you, Gerald and team!”

Making Last-Minute Events Feel Effortless
Planning something in a short time frame doesn’t have to mean sacrificing quality. With the right setup, groups can still enjoy:
- A fully hosted activity
- Fresh catering
- Full bar service
- A relaxed, social atmosphere
At one point during the event, you could hear people cheering from across the venue — especially when someone hit a bullseye. That’s usually when everything clicks and the group really gets into it. That’s why more companies are turning to all-in-one team building venues in Orlando when they need something reliable and stress-free.
