At Interact Event Productions, we specialize in creating dynamic, team-building company picnics that cater to everyone’s interests.

​Premium Picnic Catering at El Dorado Park for Every Taste

​No picnic is complete without great food, and our company picnic catering made sure everyone was satisfied. From the moment guests arrived, the scent of mesquite smoked tri-tip and freshly grilled beef hot dogs filled the air, adding to the excitement of the day. We set up beautifully branded tents with stylish table covers, along with friendly servers who ensured a smooth and seamless experience.

​Our catering menu was diverse and inclusive, with something for everyone. For those looking for a classic taste, the beef hot dogs were served with a full condiment station offering homemade chili, sauerkraut, onions, mustard, ketchup, relish, and cheese. We also offered vegan hot dogs to ensure that all dietary preferences were met. For sides, there was a comforting baked crunchy mac n' cheese, alongside three-bean baked beans (vegan-friendly), and a fresh green salad with a variety of dressing options. We rounded out the meal with a selection of assorted cookies (nut-free) and refreshing beverages, all served at our beverage bar.

Additionally, our popcorn and snow cone booth was a hit, offering guests both sweet and savory treats throughout the day. Guests enjoyed the delicious aroma of freshly popped popcorn paired with refreshing, colorful snow cones in a variety of fruity flavors. Our dedicated team ensured the booth stayed fully stocked and everything ran smoothly, providing a fun and personal touch to the event.

Our Beverage Bar was a refreshing addition to the picnic, offering a variety of chilled drinks to keep guests hydrated throughout the day. Featuring a selection of sodas, iced tea, and lemonade, the beverage station was designed to accommodate everyone’s preferences, providing both classic favorites and refreshing options. The setup included ice-filled coolers and neatly organized dispensers, with friendly staff on hand to ensure smooth service and quick refills. This convenient station added an extra layer of comfort, allowing guests to grab a drink and stay refreshed while enjoying the exciting activities at El Dorado Park.
