corporate holiday parties in Claremont.
A corporate holiday party with a carnival is a year-end company gathering that swaps the banquet hall for a midway, with game booths, food booths, a DJ or sound system, entertainers and a Santa station for staff who bring their kids. For corporate holiday parties in Claremont, the carnival can be laid out in clear zones on campus-style grounds or civic space, so employees see where to go first. The same format works whether the guest list is a single department or the whole company.
A Claremont company can host on its own grounds or ask about a public site such as California Botanic Garden or Claremont Hills Wilderness Park. Each site has its own rules for dates and vendors, and the host settles those before the carnival is planned around them.
Carnival Fun Experts brings the booths, games, concessions, entertainers and sound; the company arranges catering, drinks, seating and the venue.
A company holiday party, laid out for Claremont.
The carnival splits into zones. Games sit in one corner, with striped booths running ring toss, bottle ring, milk can toss and larger games like hoop shot. Concessions occupy another corner, with churros, pretzels, popcorn, cotton candy, nachos, snow cones and caramel apples on the board. A DJ or sound system sets the music and makes announcements. Entertainers move through the crowd, from face painters and balloon artists to caricature artists, jugglers, stilt walkers and walk-around magicians.
If staff are bringing children, a Santa and Mrs. Claus station with the holiday balloon arch gives them a line to join, and inflatables give them somewhere to play. The company handles catering and drinks of any kind, tables and chairs, tents beyond the booths, heating, permits and any other vendors. Carnival Fun Experts provides the certificate of insurance or the paperwork a permit asks for, so the venue and the company have what they need in hand.
What's typically included.
-
Game booths.
Striped 10x10 booths run carnival games with prizes. A company can pick two or three booths or a longer row, and the games run from ring toss and bottle ring to larger games like balloon dart and hoop shot.
-
Concessions.
Popcorn, cotton candy, snow cones, caramel apples, nachos, pretzels and churros come from the concession booths.
-
DJ or sound system.
Music and announcements for the afternoon or evening, from a DJ or a sound system run by Carnival Fun Experts, so a company does not need to hire a separate audio vendor.
-
Entertainers.
Choose from face painters, balloon artists, caricature artists, jugglers, stilt walkers and walk-around magicians. A company can pick one or two, or several, to fit the guest list.
-
Santa station.
Santa and Mrs. Claus sit at a photo-op station set up for staff families.
-
Family inflatables.
Jumpers, combo units and interactive inflatables if families are attending.

Common questions.
Can a corporate holiday party in Claremont be adults only?
Yes. Games, concessions, a DJ and entertainers work without children, and the Santa station and inflatables can be skipped. Adults play the carnival games too, and a booth row with a DJ makes a workable evening party.
Who arranges catering and drinks?
The company, a caterer or the venue handles catering and drinks of any kind. Carnival Fun Experts brings seven concession items, among them nachos, cotton candy and caramel apples.
Does the carnival run indoors?
Booths and games need open space, so the party plans around a lot, a lawn or a hall the company has secured. A company with a large indoor room can ask Carnival Fun Experts whether the booths and inflatables fit it.
What does the company provide?
Seating, heating, permits, other vendors and any tent beyond the booths all sit with the company or the venue.
How much does it cost?
About 100 to 150 people costs $4,000 to $10,000. Between 200 and 400 guests, the band is $10,000 to $25,000, and bigger companies land at $25,000 to $40,000 or more.
How is the date held?
A 50% deposit holds the date.
