corporate holiday parties in Casa de Oro.
A small team can hold a company holiday party the way a neighborhood holds a picnic: a park, some booths, snacks, music, and Santa. Corporate holiday parties in Casa de Oro built as carnivals keep that picnic feel and add game booths with prizes, concessions, a DJ, entertainers, and a Santa and Mrs. Claus station for employees with children.
Casa de Oro has three named parks for a reserved gathering: Estrella County Park, Mount Helix Park, and Sweetwater Lane Park. A company can also use its own lot. Employees with children in La Mesa-Spring Valley School District or Grossmont Union High School District can bring them.
My Little Carnival produces carnival parties across San Diego County, from a small team picnic to a larger company event.
A picnic-style company party, Casa de Oro.
A team of 100 to 150 needs less than people expect: a short row of striped booths with prize games, a concession corner with the seven concessions, a DJ with a small sound system, and one or two entertainers, say a face painter and a balloon artist. Santa and Mrs. Claus sit at a photo-op set for staff with children, and an inflatable or two can be added for a family party. The whole setup fits comfortably on a park lawn. A team of 100 to 150 can start with one park lawn and a short booth row, and add booths only when the headcount grows. Ask the booking contact for the lawn's dimensions and the nearest parking, then send both to My Little Carnival with the date. The crew sizes the row to the lawn, picks the spot for the concession corner and the DJ, and confirms the Santa and Mrs. Claus station if children are on the guest list. Companies that bring a mixed adult and family group should say so, because the entertainer lineup changes with the audience. Face painters and balloon artists suit children, while a caricature artist or a walk-around magician works for both ages.
A larger company at Estrella County Park has room for more booths and entertainers, while a smaller group might prefer Sweetwater Lane Park. Mount Helix Park has its own booking contact, so ask it early. The company's job covers catering, drinks of any kind, tables, chairs, tents beyond our booths, heating, permits, and other vendors, and My Little Carnival covers the carnival and its crew. Casa de Oro companies can plan the party in the order the money is spent. First comes the headcount, which sets the tier: $4,000 to $10,000 for 100 to 150 people, $10,000 to $25,000 for 200 to 400, and $25,000 to $40,000 or more beyond that. Second comes the site, which decides whether a reservation is needed from the county or from a property owner. Third comes the date, held by a 50% deposit with My Little Carnival. Fourth comes the company's own list: the caterer, drinks of any kind, tables, chairs, heating, permits, and tents beyond our booths. Last comes the carnival layout, which the crew draws to fit the lawn or lot once the site is confirmed. Walking the lawn with the booking contact before the date also shows where the booth row, the concession corner, and the DJ will sit.
