More Than a Company Picnic: Creating Corporate Events People Actually Want to Attend

Large company picnic in Kansas City by the Carnival Guy

Planning a corporate event sounds simple—until you start thinking about everything that has to come together.

You need entertainment. Tables and chairs. Tents. Activities for different ages. Food or concessions. Vendors. Setup. Power. Staffing. And, most importantly, you need to create an experience your employees and their families will actually enjoy.

That’s where Carnival Guy Party Rentals comes in.

We help companies create memorable company picnics, employee appreciation events, corporate family days, summer celebrations, holiday events and large-scale corporate gatherings without requiring the planning team to coordinate everything on their own.

Corporate Event Rentals That Go Beyond Bounce Houses

When people hear “party rentals,” they sometimes picture a couple of bounce houses in a backyard.

Corporate events are a completely different experience.

Carnival Guy can help transform a parking lot, park, corporate campus or event venue into a full-scale celebration with attractions and event rentals such as:

  • Inflatable obstacle courses and interactive games
  • Rock climbing walls
  • Carnival games
  • Dunk tanks
  • Mechanical and midway-style attractions
  • Bounce houses and inflatable slides
  • High-peak event tents
  • Tables and chairs
  • Cotton candy, popcorn and fun foods
  • Face painting and balloon entertainment
  • Event staffing and attendants
  • Customized entertainment packages

Instead of piecing together an event from numerous vendors, companies can work with Carnival Guy to build a package around their attendance, venue, goals and budget.

Company Picnics Employees Remember

A great company picnic isn't just another date on the calendar.

It's an opportunity to thank employees, bring families together and create a completely different atmosphere than everyone experiences during the normal workweek.

Imagine employees arriving to find colorful tents, a climbing wall towering over the event, kids racing through inflatable obstacle courses, carnival games lining the midway and the smell of fresh popcorn and cotton candy nearby.

That's the kind of environment we love creating.

And these events don't have to be limited to a traditional summer picnic. Carnival Guy can help plan entertainment for employee appreciation events, corporate anniversaries, family fun days, company festivals, grand openings and other workplace celebrations throughout the year.

Entertainment for Kids, Teens AND Adults

One challenge with corporate family events is finding activities that appeal to everyone.

A toddler may love a bounce house, but that probably isn't going to impress a group of teenagers.

That's why we like mixing different types of attractions.

Interactive inflatables, obstacle courses, climbing attractions and competitive carnival games can give older kids, teens and adults something to do while younger children enjoy age-appropriate inflatables and activities.

The result feels less like a children's birthday party and more like a private carnival created specifically for your company.

Corporate Event Planning Without Juggling a Dozen Vendors

One of the biggest advantages of working with an experienced event rental company is simplicity.

Rather than asking your HR team, employee committee or administrative staff to independently find tents, entertainment, games, inflatables and event equipment, we can help build the entertainment portion of your event around one coordinated plan.

We start by learning about your event:

How many people are attending? Will employees bring their families? What ages should we plan for? What does your venue look like? How long will the event last? What kind of experience are you hoping to create?

From there, we can recommend attractions and services that make sense for the event instead of simply sending you a giant rental catalog.

Corporate Event Rentals in Kansas, the Midwest & Beyond

Carnival Guy is based in Topeka, Kansas, and serves corporate events throughout Kansas and the Midwest, including events in communities around Topeka, Lawrence, Manhattan, Kansas City and beyond.

For larger corporate celebrations, our team can also help coordinate events well outside our immediate service area.

That makes Carnival Guy a great fit for companies looking for a partner who can grow with their events—from a local employee appreciation day to a much larger regional corporate celebration.

Planning a Corporate Event? Start With the Experience.

Before deciding exactly which attractions you need, think about how you want the event to feel.

Do you want a relaxed company picnic where families can spend the afternoon together?

A high-energy employee appreciation event?

A carnival-style celebration filled with games and attractions?

An annual family day employees look forward to every year?

Once we understand that vision, we can help turn it into an event.

Carnival Guy Party Rentals makes corporate events more fun—and a whole lot easier to plan.
