corporate holiday parties in Rancho Mirage.
A corporate holiday party with carnival entertainment gives a year-end gathering the feel of a midway: booths and games, concessions, a DJ, entertainers, and a Santa station for staff with kids. Corporate holiday parties in Rancho Mirage can run in the daytime as a family event or after work, and The Carnival Fun Experts supplies the entertainment while the company handles the rest of the logistics.
A Rancho Mirage company can hold the party on its own property, on an office campus lot, or at a city site such as Rancho Mirage Community Park. The carnival adapts to the space and the guest list, whether the party is a lunch-hour gathering for one team or an evening for the whole company and its families.
The Carnival Fun Experts brings its midway to Rancho Mirage company parties on any scale.
Setting up a company party in Rancho Mirage.
For an afternoon party with families, the layout is a small midway: striped booths with games, a bounce house or two for younger children, a concession cluster, and a DJ or sound system at one end. Entertainers such as face painters, balloon artists, caricature artists, jugglers, stilt walkers and walk-around magicians can move through the crowd. Santa and Mrs. Claus take the photo station for staff with children.
For an after-work party for adults, the host can drop the inflatables and keep the games, the concessions and the music. A lit lot at dusk looks like the booths in the photo above. The host arranges catering, drinks, tables and chairs, tents beyond our booths, heating and any permit, and picks the date with the property or the venue. A company can also pair the party with a gift exchange or a short program of its own, since the DJ or sound system can announce it.
