corporate holiday parties in Manhattan Beach.
A corporate holiday party in the carnival format trades the hotel banquet for striped game booths, concessions, a DJ and roaming entertainers, with a Santa and Mrs. Claus station for staff who bring children. This overview of corporate holiday parties in Manhattan Beach describes what Carnival Fun Experts sets up, how the family version and the after-work version differ, and what the company arranges on its side.
A Manhattan Beach company can hold the party in its own lot, on an office campus, or at a city venue if the city approves, such as Polliwog Park, Live Oak Park or Joslyn Community Center. The host confirms the space and date with the venue or property owner. A firm whose staff are parents in Manhattan Beach Unified School District can lean toward a family-style afternoon.
Carnival Fun Experts supplies the midway, the entertainers and Santa. The company covers food beyond our concessions, seating, heating and permits.
A year-end party built around Manhattan Beach.
Think of the party as a small midway. Striped booths in a row or a loop hold the games, and the concession stations sit at one end. A DJ or sound system supplies the music. Entertainers come from the list: face painters, balloon artists, caricature artists, jugglers, stilt walkers and walk-around magicians. A company can pick two or three for an office of fifty or a larger mix for a full campus.
A daytime family version adds jumpers and face painting. A Manhattan Beach firm with a campus lot can set the midway between the building and the street, and one with only a few parking spaces can choose a short loop of three booths and one concession. An after-work version leans on the DJ and the caricature artist, with string lights over the booths as dusk arrives. Staff with children can visit Santa and Mrs. Claus under the holiday balloon arch. The company supplies catering, drinks, tables and chairs, and any tent beyond the booths. If the company's building has a courtyard or a parking lot next to it, that ground is where the booths go. A firm that wants a program, such as a short thank-you speech, can run it from the host's own microphone or ask for the DJ's sound system. Raffles and awards are the host's to run, and the midway keeps going around them.

Common questions.
Is this only for big companies?
No. A team of 100 to 150 people falls in the $4,000 to $10,000 band, and booths scale with the headcount.
Can we hold it at a public park?
A park like Polliwog Park or Live Oak Park can host an event when the city confirms the date. The company asks the city.
Can we leave out Santa?
Yes. The Santa station is optional and can be added for staff who bring children.
Do you bring a catering service?
No. A caterer or the company handles meals and drinks. Carnival Fun Experts brings the seven concession stands, which are snacks and treats, not a meal service.
What holds the date?
A 50% deposit.
Can we run it as an adults-only evening?
Yes. Without children, the party can drop the jumpers and the Santa station, and lean on the DJ, booths, caricature artist and concessions.
