corporate holiday parties in Pomona.
A corporate holiday party in carnival style gives a company a year-end event built from game booths, concessions, music, roaming entertainers and a Santa station, in place of a seated dinner. Corporate holiday parties in Pomona can run on a company lot, on a venue's grounds or in a park, and Carnival Fun Experts supplies the entertainment while the company supplies the site, the meal and the guest list.
A Pomona company deciding where to hold the party has choices beyond its own parking lot: Fairplex, Fox Theater Pomona or the American Museum of Ceramic Art, each subject to that venue's own permission. A simple version stays on the company's property and needs only the landlord's yes.
Carnival Fun Experts brings the booths, games, concessions, music, entertainers and Santa and Mrs. Claus; the company covers food, drink, seating and site approval.
How a company holiday party plays out in Pomona.
Guests start at a holiday balloon arch and spread out among striped booths, each hosting a carnival game with a prize table. Teams can compete at the booths against coworkers from other departments, which turns the games into a mixing exercise as well as entertainment. The concession row serves churros, pretzels, popcorn, cotton candy, nachos, snow cones and caramel apples, and a DJ or sound system sets the pace. Face painters, balloon artists, caricature artists, jugglers, stilt walkers or walk-around magicians can be added for guests who prefer to watch rather than play.
A Santa and Mrs. Claus station gives staff with children a photo stop, and inflatables can be added when families are invited. For an adults-only evening, the booths, music, caricature artists and the photo station are enough. The company picks each piece and Carnival Fun Experts prices the combination. A host with a lawn can arrange the pieces in a circle, and a host with a lot can run them in a line. The planner can also split the party into zones, with games at one end, concessions in the middle and the Santa station at the far end.
