corporate holiday parties in Placentia.
A corporate holiday party is a company's year-end gathering for its employees, and a carnival version puts game booths, concessions, music and entertainers where a catered dinner would be. This page covers corporate holiday parties in Placentia, including the sites a company can ask about and the line between what The Carnival Fun Experts brings and what the company handles.
Decide who is invited before anything else. A daytime party for staff and their children carries a Santa station and inflatables, while an evening for adults keeps the games, the music and the entertainers. A company that invites children can look up the winter break of Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District before it settles on a date.
The Carnival Fun Experts provides the carnival side of year-end company parties from Orange County into Riverside County and San Bernardino County.
A year-end party planned in Placentia.
Booths come first: striped 10x10 units in a loop, each with a game and prizes. Concession booths hold the seven foods, a DJ or sound system covers the whole area and entertainers move among the guests. A company chooses from face painters, balloon artists, caricature artists, jugglers, stilt walkers and walk-around magicians, and can choose a single act. For staff with children, a Santa and Mrs. Claus station adds a photo line under the holiday arch.
A company can hold the party on its own property or look at a public site. Tri-City Regional Park, Kraemer Memorial Park, Tuffree Park, Goodwin Park and the Placentia Champions Sports Complex can host an event, and the company confirms space and dates with the city or OC Parks. Public ground means a permit application from the company, and The Carnival Fun Experts provides the certificate of insurance or the paperwork a permit asks for. Each Placentia company shapes the party through a handful of choices. Headcount sets the booth count and the price band. The guest list decides whether the Santa station and the inflatables join, or whether the evening stays with games, music and entertainers. The site decides how the midway is laid out, since a company lot, a stretch of park and a sports complex hold booths in different patterns. The Carnival Fun Experts writes every one of these choices as its own line in the quote, so the person approving the budget can see what each booth, act and concession adds before the 50% deposit goes in.

Common questions.
Can the party be held in the parking lot behind our building?
Yes, when the property owner agrees. The Carnival Fun Experts plans the booth loop around the space, and a narrow lot gets an L-shaped layout.
Will The Carnival Fun Experts serve a sit-down meal?
No. The concessions are seven snack foods. A company that wants a meal hires a caterer, and arranges its own drinks.
Tri-City Regional Park is on our list. Who do we ask?
OC Parks. The company asks whether the park can host the party on its date and applies for any permit.
Can we skip Santa?
Yes. Santa and Mrs. Claus are priced as their own line, so an adults-only party removes them along with the inflatables.
What band does a 120-person company fall into?
The first band, at $4,000 to $10,000.
What does the deposit cover?
A 50% deposit reserves the date.
