corporate holiday parties in Buena Park.
A corporate holiday party is a company's year-end celebration, and the carnival version replaces the banquet hall with booths, games, concessions and entertainers. This page covers corporate holiday parties in Buena Park, from an office campus lot to a city venue, and what The Carnival Fun Experts provides versus what the company arranges.
A company party in Buena Park can be planned around the winter break of Buena Park School District, Centralia Elementary School District and the high school districts. A family-style daytime party and an adults-only after-work evening need different mixes, and The Carnival Fun Experts quotes either one with the pieces itemized so the company sees what each adds.
The same booths and concessions serve a staff of 100 or a company of 1,000; the headcount decides how many stations run at once.
A company party built for Buena Park.
The core of the party is a midway of striped booths: ring toss, dime pitch and other games, with prizes. Around it sit the concessions, a DJ or sound system, and entertainers chosen from face painters, balloon artists, caricature artists, jugglers, stilt walkers and walk-around magicians. If employees bring children, a Santa and Mrs. Claus station gives the families a photo stop, and inflatables can go in where the site has room.
The site can be an office campus lot, a company property or a city venue. The Buena Park Community Center and Ehlers Event Center can host an event, and the host confirms space and dates with the venue. Outdoors, a company can choose a daytime party or an evening one with string lights, which matters because December evenings get dark early. A company that wants the party to end by dinner can book the afternoon, and one that wants guests to arrive after work can book the evening. Either way the crew arrives hours before the first guest to set the midway.
What's typically included.
-
Booths and games.
Striped 10x10 booths with carnival games and prizes, counted to match the guest list. A company can pick fewer booths for a short party or more for one that runs through the afternoon.
-
Concessions.
Churros, pretzels, popcorn, cotton candy, nachos, snow cones and caramel apples for walk-up snacking.
-
DJ or sound system.

-
Entertainers.
Face painters, balloon artists, caricature artists, jugglers, stilt walkers and walk-around magicians, picked by the company. Two or three roaming acts can cover a party of a hundred, and the company can add more for a longer program.
-
Santa station.
Santa and Mrs. Claus, a photo-op backdrop and a holiday balloon arch for staff with children.
-
Inflatables.
Jumpers, slides and obstacle courses for the children of employees where the site fits them.

Common questions.
Can a corporate holiday party in Buena Park run in a parking lot?
Yes. An office campus lot works if the property owner agrees, and The Carnival Fun Experts fits the booths and concessions to the space. A loop or an L layout fits a tight lot.
Who serves the meal?
The company does, through a caterer. The Carnival Fun Experts runs seven concessions: churros, pretzels, popcorn, cotton candy, nachos, snow cones and caramel apples. Drinks of any kind are the company's to arrange.
Is Santa included for an adults-only party?
Only if the company wants him. Santa and Mrs. Claus are added to the quote when staff bring children, and left off when the party is for adults.
How many booths does a headcount need?
The count depends on how long the party runs and how many guests arrive together. The Carnival Fun Experts proposes a booth count after hearing the headcount and the schedule.
What does the deposit do?
A 50% deposit holds the date. Without it the date is not reserved, so the deposit is the step that secures the day.
Can an event at Ehlers Event Center include booths?
The company asks the venue what it allows indoors. If booths fit, The Carnival Fun Experts sets them up; if not, the venue's outdoor space is the alternative.
