Introduction
Planning a corporate team building event in Orlando — especially for groups coming in from conferences — can get complicated fast. Most teams are trying to find things to do near the Orange County Convention Center that are fun, close by, and don’t require coordinating multiple venues for food, drinks, and activities.
That’s exactly what CVS Pharmacy was looking for — and what turned into a really fun, high-energy night with us.
A Smooth Start After a Long Day at the Convention Center
On October 17th, 2025, CVS Pharmacy brought in a group of 39 guests for a 3-hour team building event with catering and full bar service at our axe throwing venue in Orlando.
They came straight from the convention center, and you could tell right away — it had been a long day. As soon as they walked in, the first thing a few guests asked was:
“Can we get some drinks?”
Totally fair.
While drinks were getting started, the group began settling in — and right on time, the food was ready.
Starting with Food (And Why It Works So Well)
The group kicked things off with our American Buffet, and it didn’t take long before everyone was fully focused on the food. They were hungry — most of them had spent the entire day at the convention center with barely anything to eat, so this part mattered more than people usually expect.
Within minutes, plates were filling up and people were already going back for seconds. This is one of the reasons all-in-one corporate event venues in Orlando work so well for corporate groups — everything is ready, right when they need it. It gives everyone time to reset, relax, and actually enjoy the start of the event instead of rushing into it.
From “I’ve Never Done This” to Full-On Competition
When axe throwing started, there was a little hesitation at first — which is completely normal. A few people stepped up, gave it a try, and once those first axes started sticking, everything changed.
With Tom guiding the group, every single guest picked it up quickly. What started as curiosity turned into competition pretty fast — especially for guests trying axe throwing in Orlando for the first time. At one point, someone hit a bullseye and the reaction from the group said it all — cheering, laughing, and suddenly everyone wanted a turn. That’s usually when it clicks.
Drinks, Service, and the Social Side of It
The bar ended up being a big part of the experience too. Guests were enjoying both:
- Beers on tap (we always keep 8 options available)
- Craft cocktails, made by Alejandro and Rob
They were both on point the entire time — quick, attentive, and making sure no one was waiting around. It created that perfect balance of activity, drinks, and social energy — exactly what you want from team building activities with food and drinks in Orlando. People naturally rotated between throwing, grabbing drinks, and just hanging out — no structure needed, it just flowed.
What the Team Had to Say
One of the guests, Joshua Bailey, left this review after the event:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Tom, Rob, and Alejandro were fantastic and did a wonderful job hosting our corporate event, we truly appreciated all their awesome service!”
Why These Events Keep Working So Well
We’ve hosted a lot of corporate events, but nights like this remind us why this setup works. Everything is in one place:
- Food
- Drinks

- Space to meet and hang out
No transportation, no switching venues, no stress. That’s why more companies are choosing corporate team building experiences in Orlando when they’re looking for something easy and reliable — especially for groups visiting from out of town.
Why Companies Come Back
Lately, we’ve been seeing more and more returning corporate groups. After experiencing how simple and fun these events are, teams often come back for:
- Another team outing
- A larger group event
- Or even client entertainment
That’s where private corporate events in Orlando really stand out — it gives companies a dedicated space where everything is tailored to their group.
