However you like to work

Two ways to get a quote

Some people want to see every option first. Others would rather hand it over. Both routes end in the same place, a written quote for your company picnics, with no obligation.

Route one: browse

You pick, we price it

Best if you already have a sense of what you want, or you just enjoy looking. Everything we own is on the site with photos, detail and sizes.

  • Shortlist anything you like as you go
  • Send the list over when you’re ready
  • We price it and confirm what’s free on your date
Browse all rentals

Route two: we plan it

You brief us, we propose

Best if you’d rather not start from a blank page. Tell us the basics and an event specialist builds the recommendation around them.

  • Budget, date, venue and the theme you’re after
  • We come back with a plan built for your space and crowd
  • Change anything you like before you commit
Tell us about your event

Before you ask

Good to know

The things people usually check first, answered up front, so you can get on with planning.

01Minimum order
Full-service bookings start at $1,500 + HST. Final pricing scales with your guest count and the services you choose.
02Delivery, setup & strike
We deliver, set up and take everything away again. Delivery is quoted by distance: Toronto and the GTA, the Golden Horseshoe, and Canada-wide when needed.
03Staffing
Games attendants, casino dealers, game-show hosts, bartenders and performers can be added to any booking, as a paid add-on quoted with your package.
04Insurance
We carry a $5,000,000 liability policy and provide certificates of insurance to your venue or building at no cost.
05Custom branding
Our in-house design and print team can add your logo, colours or a full wrap to photo booths, backdrops, casino felts and many of our games. Custom branding is a separate service and carries an additional fee, quoted per item.
06One supplier
500+ rentals and services across 18 categories, so the games, décor, AV, staff and talent all arrive from one team on one invoice.

What Abbey Road brings to your company picnics

The experience

  • Outdoor programs run in public parks, private campuses and outdoor venues across Vaughan, Mississauga, Markham, Toronto and beyond.
  • Inflatables, lawn and giant games, sports rentals, carnival booths, fun-food carts and roaming performers, all from one supplier, on one invoice.
  • Built for mixed crowds: staff, partners, kids and grandparents all have something to do at the same time.
  • Full service from setup and supervision through to teardown and cleanup, so nobody on your committee spends the day running the games.

The equipment

We own what we rent. Over 500 rentals and services across 18 categories live in our own warehouse, which is why one phone call covers the games, the décor, the AV, the staff and the talent, and why we can tell you on the spot what is available for your date. For a company picnics, these are the categories we pull from most:

How it works

From first call to final pack-out

1

Tell us about your event

Date, venue, headcount and what you want guests to walk away with. A quick call or the quote form is enough to start.

2

We build the plan

An event specialist recommends a mix that suits the space, the crowd and the budget, then sends you a written quote.

3

We deliver and set up

Our own crew brings everything in, installs it and tests it before your doors open.

4

We run it, then strike it

Attendants, dealers and hosts on request. When it’s over, we pack it all out.

Pathway 02: have us plan it

Tell us four things and we’ll design your company picnics for you

You don’t have to browse 500 rentals or build your own quote to get started. Send us your budget, your venue, your guest count and the kind of event you’re picturing, and one of our event specialists will come back with a recommended plan built around all four, with pricing.

It is the fastest way to get a real answer, and there is no obligation. Prefer to pick everything yourself? The full collection is always there to browse.

  • 01
    Your budget A range is plenty. It lets us put forward a mix that is actually realistic instead of wasting your time.
  • 02
    Your venue The name or address, indoors or out, and anything awkward about the load-in, ceiling height or power.
  • 03
    Your guest count Roughly how many people, and whether that includes partners, clients or kids.
  • 04
    Theme or vibe A theme you have already settled on, or just the feeling you are after: relaxed, competitive, upscale, nostalgic, branded.

Frequently asked questions

What company picnic games work for all ages?
Giant lawn games are the backbone: giant Jenga, connect four, cornhole, bocce, croquet and ladder toss. They need no power, they survive being out all day, and a grandparent and a nine-year-old can play the same round. Add carnival booths with a ticket or passport system and families move around the site on their own.
What are fun activities for a company picnic with children?
Inflatables (bouncy castles, obstacle courses, slides) plus carnival booths with prizes, face painters and balloon artists. A dunk tank with a willing manager in it is the most photographed thing at any corporate picnic we have supplied.
Do your corporate picnic rentals need power?
Most do not. Giant games, carnival games and sports challenges run with nothing plugged in. Inflatables and fun food carts need power, and we can bring a generator where the site has none.
What do you need to know about our picnic site?
How close a vehicle can get to the setup point. That decides more than anything else. After that: whether the ground takes a stake or needs weights, whether there is power, and whether there is shade. Send us the park name or a photo and we will work it out.
Do you supply food, tents or tables for a corporate picnic?
No. We supply the activities and the fun food carts: ice cream, popcorn, cotton candy, snow cones. Catering, marquees, tables and chairs come from other suppliers, and we work alongside them regularly.
What happens if it rains?
We agree a wet-weather plan when you book. Some pieces move indoors, some do not, and inflatables cannot run in high wind. Deciding it in advance is far easier than deciding it at eight in the morning.
Can you staff the activities?
Yes. Attendants run the stations, keep the scoring and manage queues, so nobody from your team spends the day refereeing. Staffing is a paid add-on quoted with your package.
What does a company picnic cost, and is there a minimum?
Our minimum order is $1,500 + HST. A 100-person family day is usually four or five activities plus a cart; a 500-person picnic is closer to ten stations with attendants.
Are you insured, and can you provide a certificate?
Yes. We carry a $5,000,000 liability policy and issue certificates of insurance to the park, the municipality or your venue at no charge: permits usually require one, and we handle it for you.

Reviews

What our clients say

The team was super accessible from beginning to end of this process. Always able to answer our questions, and on the day of – we’re spectacular and super helpful in terms of set up and tear down. Our guests loved every bit of this!
Taylor Paquette - Jam Direct, 3/02/2020
So I am commenting on behalf of the Scarborough Campus Student Union, and let me say that their customer service and onsite setup was amazing. Abbey Road is an amazing company that pulled through for our event even though it was less than a week notice. This is definitely a company that you can depend on when it comes to planning out events and renting out services. Big shoutout to the caricature for his amazing work!!!
Scarborough Campus Student Union, 2/27/2020

Company Picnics in Toronto & the GTA

Corporate picnic events and company picnic games

  • ★ Trusted since 2008
  • ★ 1,200+ events a year
  • ★ Delivered, set up & staffed
  • ★ Leading brands, agencies & Fortune 500
  • ★ In-house custom branding
  • ★ $5M insured

A corporate picnic is the one company event where staff bring their families, which means it has to work for a six-year-old, a twenty-six-year-old and a grandparent at the same time. Abbey Road Entertainment has supplied corporate picnic events across Toronto and the GTA since 2008: Outdoor and Inflatable Rentals, Giant Game Rentals, Sports Game Rentals, Carnival and Midway Rentals, Cart Rentals and Performer and Talent Rentals.

Everything is built for an open site. Most of it needs no power at all, our crew handles the vehicle access and the ground conditions, and attendants can run the stations so nobody from your team spends the day refereeing. We are not a caterer and not a park. We bring the activities to whichever site you have booked.

Read the full guide to company picnics in Toronto

The failure mode of a company picnic is a field with food on one side and nothing on the other. Kids need something to do so their parents can actually talk to each other, and the adults need a reason to stay past lunch.

Company picnic games that suit every age at once

Giant Game Rentals (giant Jenga, connect four, cornhole, bocce, croquet, ladder toss) are the backbone of a corporate picnic. They need no power, they survive being left out all day, and a grandparent and a nine-year-old can play the same round.

Carnival and Midway Rentals add the fairground layer: ring toss, high striker, duck pond, skee-ball and prize booths, with tickets or a passport so families move around the site. Sports Game Rentals suit the competitive half of the company: bubble hockey, ping pong, basketball and inflatable sports challenges.

Fun activities for company picnics with children

Outdoor and Inflatable Rentals are what the children remember: bouncy castles, obstacle courses, slides and interactive inflatables. A dunk tank with a willing manager in it is the single most photographed thing at any company picnic we have supplied.

Cart Rentals (ice cream, popcorn, cotton candy, snow cones) do double duty as an activity and a refreshment, and they keep a queue moving in the heat.

Corporate picnic events on a site with no power and no shade

Most parks give you grass, a permit and nothing else. Tell us the site and we will tell you what can run without power, what needs a generator, whether the ground will take a stake or needs weights, and how close a vehicle can get to the setup point. That last one decides more than anything else about what is possible.

Company family day and summer party

A corporate family day is the same event with a different name and usually a longer run time. Roaming Performer and Talent Rentals (face painters, balloon artists, caricaturists, magicians) cover the gaps between the main activities and work well when families arrive at different times.

Do you supply the food, tents or tables?

No. We supply the activities and the fun food carts. Catering, marquees, tables and chairs come from other suppliers, and we work alongside them all the time.

What happens if it rains?

We will talk it through with you in advance. Some pieces move indoors, some do not, and inflatables cannot run in high wind. Agreeing the wet-weather plan when you book is far easier than deciding it at eight in the morning.
