Planning a corporate anniversary celebration right at the company’s headquarters is a smart way to bring employees together, save on venue costs, and showcase company pride—and that's exactly what we did for Tribute Signs' 20th Anniversary Party. As the official company picnic planners for this Ontario, California-based business, we transformed their business parking lot into a full-scale entertainment venue, complete with chef-prepared catering, themed décor, a prize-filled casino experience, and entertainment for all ages. From planning to execution, this Ontario California company picnic was a perfect example of how we turn a familiar parking lot into an unforgettable event space. Check out the recap video to see the transformation in action. Transforming Parking Lots into Event Venues for Corporate AnniversariesWhen it comes to hosting a corporate anniversary celebration, there's no need to book an expensive venue when your own company parking lot can be transformed into an incredible event space. For Tribute Signs’ 20th Anniversary Party, their parking lot in Ontario, California became the perfect location for a fun, budget-friendly company picnic. Not only did we save the company money on venue rental fees, but we also maximized the available space with a layout that suited their needs. The parking lot offered ample room for a variety of entertainment, seating, food stations, and even a custom MEGA Casino, all while being conveniently located right at the company’s headquarters. Plus, with the flexibility of a company picnic in a business parking lot, we had the freedom to set up an experience that was tailored to the company’s brand and the anniversary celebration’s goals. Transforming a parking lot like this is a cost-effective solution that doesn’t skimp on fun, and it allows us to create a vibrant environment that perfectly matches the occasion. Food & Beverage Service: A Delicious Spread for the Tribute Signs Anniversary CelebrationFor Tribute Signs' 20th Anniversary Party, we created a mouth-watering company picnic menu that kept guests satisfied and in the celebratory spirit. Featuring crowd-pleasers like tender tri-tip and chicken sliders, alongside sides like our loaded 3-cheese macaroni and cheese and homestyle potato salad, we made sure that everyone had something to enjoy. The 3-bean BBQ baked beans added a flavorful touch, and guests couldn’t get enough of the sweet treats: decorative cookies, cupcakes, and a custom anniversary cake that was as delicious as it was beautiful. By focusing on high-quality, crowd-pleasing menu options and presenting them in a stylish, organized way, we were able to provide an unforgettable dining experience that fit seamlessly into the Company PicnicsOntario, California company picnic vibe. Our expert catering team ensured smooth service, with food stations set up to maximize guest flow, so everyone could enjoy the meal while mingling and participating in the festivities. The MEGA Casino: The Ultimate Entertainment for a Corporate Anniversary CelebrationFor this special corporate anniversary celebration, we brought the excitement of a full-scale casino right to Tribute Signs’ parking lot. Our MEGA Casino is an exclusive, high-energy addition to any company picnic in business parking lots, offering all the fun of a real casino with a tailored, outdoor twist. The original MEGA Casino featured thrilling games like Mega Blackjack, Mega Craps, Mega Slots, Mega Roulette, and the fan-favorite Mega Horse Race Derby, giving guests a chance to win prizes while enjoying the lively atmosphere. While this version of the casino was a hit in 2019, we've since upgraded to a newer, quicker-to-set-up inflatable version that still features all the same classic games—providing a faster, more efficient setup without sacrificing the fun! Our MEGA Casino also included a Prize Redemption Table where guests could cash in their winnings for exciting prizes. To enhance the experience, we outfitted each table with matching heavy-duty vinyl tablecloths in a high roller theme. These outdoor tablecloths were securely fastened to withstand Southern California’s breezy weather, ensuring the casino setup stayed intact throughout the event. Kids’ Entertainment: Fun for All Ages at This Ontario California Company PicnicWe know a well-rounded company picnic should include something for everyone, and that’s exactly what we delivered at the Tribute Signs 20th Anniversary Celebration. To keep younger guests engaged and active, we brought in our Rocky Island Bounce & Slide Playcenter, perfect for children ages 2 to 8. Safe, colorful, and full of energy, this inflatable kept the little ones happily occupied. Event Essentials for Company Picnic Planning in Ontario CaliforniaAlong with food, games, and seating, we added a few key details that pulled this corporate anniversary celebration together. A photo op area with a stage gave the team a place to snap group shots, recognize milestones, and capture moments from the day. The red carpet entry was a nice touch—it set the tone from the start and gave guests a reason to smile before they even checked in. We also handled all the behind-the-scenes needs that often get overlooked: on-site trash service to keep the space clean throughout the event, and full sound and music coverage to keep the energy up. Whether it was background music during lunch or announcements from the mic, our system made sure everything was heard clearly without blowing people out. It’s details like these that make a company picnic in a business parking lot feel like a real, professionally produced event—because it is. Kids’ Entertainment: Fun for All Ages at This Ontario California Company PicnicFor older kids (ages 9+), the 30' Rock Climbing Wall added a serious wow factor—not just because of its height, but because it could be seen from all corners of the parking lot, drawing a crowd and encouraging participation. It added a layer of excitement and competition that made the celebration feel like a true event. Tables, Chairs & Umbrellas – Clean, Comfortable, and ShadedWe always say, if you're going to plan a company picnic in your parking lot, make sure your team has a comfortable place to sit, eat, and take it all in. For Tribute Signs’ 20th Anniversary, we set up our go-to combo: 60" round tables, plenty of folding chairs, and 9' market umbrellas that added shade and style. The layout was simple, efficient, and designed for good flow between food, entertainment, and seating. Our custom-fit table covers stayed in place—no flapping, no tape needed—so nothing looked sloppy or got in the way. It’s one of those things that seems small but makes a big difference in the overall experience.
