corporate holiday parties in Glendale.
A corporate holiday party is a company's year-end celebration with carnival entertainment in place of a ballroom dinner: booths, games, concessions, a DJ, entertainers and a Santa station. This page on corporate holiday parties in Glendale describes the format, the cost by headcount and the pieces the company covers itself.
A Glendale company can use its own campus lot or ask about the city's venues: Brand Park, the Adult Recreation Center and Central Park, Maple Park Community Center, Pacific Community Center and Deukmejian Wilderness Park. The company confirms space and dates with the venue or the city.
Carnival Fun Experts provides booths, games, concessions, a DJ or sound system, entertainers and Santa and Mrs. Claus for company parties in Los Angeles County.
A company holiday party, carnival style, in Glendale.
A daytime version suits a Saturday family party. Staff arrive with children, play at the striped booths, line up for churros, nachos or popcorn and stop at the Santa station for pictures taken on their own phones. Inflatables give younger guests room to move, and a face painter or balloon artist works the edges of the crowd.
An after-work version drops the inflatables and leans on the other pieces: a DJ or sound system, caricature artists, a walk-around magician and a stilt walker moving through the guests, with booths as a game area for anyone who wants to compete. The company picks which of the two it is hosting and how many booths to book. Neither version needs a hotel ballroom, and both can be run from a company lot or a park the company has reserved.
What's typically included.
-
Booth games.
Striped booths with prize games, counted to match the headcount, so a 100-person party and a 400-person party each get a midway sized to them.
-
Seven concession options.
Churros, pretzels, popcorn, cotton candy, nachos, snow cones and caramel apples.
-
DJ or sound system.
Music between games and a microphone for raffle drawings, award announcements or a short thank-you from leadership.
-
Entertainers.
Face painters, balloon artists, caricature artists, jugglers, stilt walkers and walk-around magicians.
-
Staff-family Santa station.
Santa and Mrs. Claus for employees who bring children.
-
Inflatables.
Jumpers, combo units and interactive inflatables for a family-style party, set apart from the booth row so younger guests have their own area.

Common questions.
Is the party for families or only for staff?
Either. Families can use inflatables and the Santa station. An adults-only evening can keep the games, concessions, DJ and entertainers.
How many booths does a company need?
It depends on the headcount. A party of 100 to 150 needs fewer booths than one of 400, and the company can pick a mix of games, concession stands and entertainers inside the budget band that matches its size.
Can the DJ run a raffle?
Yes. The DJ or sound system can announce raffles, door prizes or a short speech, and the company can schedule those announcements between rounds of play so the whole group gathers at once.
Does Carnival Fun Experts provide food?
Carnival Fun Experts provides the seven concessions. Catering, drinks and tables are the company's job.
Can staff children see Santa?
Yes. The Santa station is part of the party, and families use their phones or the photographer Carnival Fun Experts offers.
What does the 50% deposit do?
A 50% deposit holds the date for the party. Once the date is held, the company can fine-tune booths, stands and entertainers with Carnival Fun Experts.
