A sample two-hour party in Orange County

A Tuesday, 10:00 am to 12:00 pm, 30 guests. A late-morning party for a team that drives in from all over the county: the 405 has eased by 10, the cards come first while people settle in, and it ends right on time for lunch on the patio.

  1. Before 10:00

    Tables set for two hours

    The host sets watercolor paper, paints and brushes at every seat, with easels and canvas boards ready for the second hour. You provide water access and trash cans.

  2. 10:00 am

    Watercolor Card Decorating

    A set of four cards each, with the host guiding the techniques. Guests from the other offices arrive and join in as they find parking.

  3. 11:00 am

    Cards to the side table

    Cards lie flat to dry, each signed for a teammate, and an easel and canvas go to every seat.

  4. 11:05 am

    Canvas Painting

    A calmer second hour: a guided acrylic painting on a 12 x 16 inch canvas board. No experience needed.

  5. 12:05 pm

    Lunch in the sun

    Canvases dry indoors while the team takes lunch out to the patio, and the afternoon is still a workday for anyone who needs it.

At 30 guests: Watercolor Card Decorating $2,310 + Canvas Painting $2,400 = $4,710 at list prices.

Planning a December party in Orange County

Orange County has no single downtown, so these notes cover a team spread from the Airport Area and Irvine Spectrum to Newport Center, South Coast Metro and Anaheim.

  1. Many business centers, one party

    Teams often split between Irvine, Costa Mesa, Newport Beach and Anaheim or Brea. The offices look close on a map, but the drive between them is slow at rush hour. Host at the office where most people sit, and send the others parking directions with the invite.

  2. The 405, the 5 and the 55

    Most people drive, and I‑405, I‑5 and SR‑55 back up at both rush hours, worst around the Airport Area and the El Toro Y, where the 5 and the 405 meet. A party that starts at 10 and ends at noon misses both.

  3. Malls and theme parks in December

    Holiday shopping traffic builds around the big malls in Costa Mesa, Newport Beach and Irvine, and the theme park area in Anaheim draws holiday crowds. Offices near either see slower streets and fuller lots, worst on afternoons and weekends, one more reason a morning party fits.

  4. Paint inside, eat outside

    December is mild, and the office patio is tempting. But a breeze lifts loose watercolor paper and knocks over easels, and a Santa Ana wind day makes outdoor tables hard to use at all. Keep the painting indoors and take lunch outside.

Orange County holiday party questions

How much does office holiday party entertainment cost in Orange County?

Canvas Painting is $55 a person plus a $750 base fee. Watercolor Card Decorating is $52 a person plus a $750 base fee. That covers the host and every painting supply. Food, drinks and the room are yours to arrange.

How far ahead should we book a December holiday party in Orange County?

Book painting workshops at least 3 weeks ahead; custom branding needs 4 weeks. For Thursday, Dec 17, that means booking by Nov 26. If your date is sooner than that, ask us; we confirm what we can run in your plan.

Do you come to offices in Irvine, Newport Beach, Anaheim or Brea?

Our hosts travel to offices and venues across Orange County. Send the address with your date and we confirm coverage when we send your plan. If your office is in Long Beach or farther north, see our holiday parties in Los Angeles.

Can we hold our Orange County party in the morning instead of after work?

Yes, and it often suits the drive better. A 10 am to noon party starts after the morning rush on the 405 and the 5 and ends before the afternoon one, so nobody spends the evening in traffic. Lunch on the patio afterward makes it feel like a party, and staff who live far away get home at a normal hour.

What do we need to provide for a party at our office?

A room with tables and chairs, water access and trash cans. We bring the host and every painting supply, and we handle setup and cleanup.

What if more people show up than we planned for?

Give us your best headcount estimate; we use it to plan hosts and support. We can take extra guests on the day, and if attendance is well over your estimate we invoice the difference.

Can remote employees join the party?

The in-person formats are built for people in the room. For remote staff, book a virtual holiday party on Zoom (Microsoft Teams, Google Meet or Webex on request) on another day, or run one for the whole company.

Can we add holiday gifts for the team?

Yes. Pair the party with corporate holiday gifts shipped to each person, which also covers anyone who can't make it to the office that day.
