corporate holiday parties in Fontana.
A corporate holiday party with carnival entertainment is a year-end gathering where the entertainment is a row of game booths, a snack cluster, a DJ, roaming performers and a Santa station for staff with children. Corporate holiday parties in Fontana can happen on a weekend afternoon with families or after the workday for adults only, and The Carnival Fun Experts handles the entertainment while the company covers food, drinks, seating and warmth.
Fontana companies have a few choices for where to hold the party: their own grounds, an office campus lot, or a city site such as Fontana Park if the city agrees. The carnival is scaled to the space and to the number of people on the invitation list, whether that is one department or the entire company with families.
The Carnival Fun Experts runs company holiday parties in Fontana and elsewhere in San Bernardino County.
Two formats for a company party in Fontana.
Start with the family format. On a weekend afternoon the lot becomes a small midway: striped booths running carnival games, a concession cluster with churros, pretzels, popcorn, cotton candy, nachos, snow cones and caramel apples, and a DJ or sound system near the edge. A bounce house or two keeps the youngest guests busy. Balloon artists, face painters, caricature artists, jugglers, stilt walkers and walk-around magicians wander between booths, while Santa and Mrs. Claus greet families at a photo station where phones, or the photographer The Carnival Fun Experts offers, take the pictures.
The evening format drops the inflatables and the children's entertainers and keeps the games, the snacks and the music for an after-work crowd. A company can book a few booths for a modest team or spread a full midway across a lot for hundreds. Everything outside our booths is the host's: food service, every kind of drink, furniture, extra tents, warmth, permits and other vendors, plus the choice of venue and date. The DJ's microphone also covers a raffle, an award or a thank-you from leadership.

Common questions.
How is a Fontana company party priced?
By headcount. Roughly 100 to 150 people is $4,000 to $10,000, 200 to 400 people is $10,000 to $25,000, and larger companies are $25,000 to $40,000 or more.
Who brings the lunch or dinner?
The host. Our food is the seven concessions, and anything beyond them, plus every drink, comes from the company or its caterer.
Can we skip the children's side?
Yes. Leave out the inflatables and the kid-focused entertainers and the evening still has games, snacks and music.
Does Santa need his own space?
He needs a spot for the sleigh seat, the arch and a lane for the line. The layout is planned once the lot is known.
What holds the date?
A 50% deposit.
Is a neighborhood center an option?
The company can ask the city. The city confirms the room or grounds and the date.
