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 office & appreciation events, 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

  • Our delivery crews are Toronto based and have loaded into every kind of building: stairs-only walk-ups, freight elevators, 50-storey towers and everything in between.

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 office & appreciation events 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

Can you deliver and set up inside our office?
Yes, in-office parties are most of what we do. We have installed where stairs were the only option and in towers where everything went up fifty storeys in a booked freight elevator. We measure the route beforehand, protect floors and frames, and pack out the same night so the desks are back by morning.
What are some good office party ideas?
A dealer-run casino floor with a prize draw, tabletop arcade cabinets on free play, LED ping pong and cornhole, a claw machine, an ice cream or popcorn cart through the afternoon, a mobile bartender, and a photo booth with prints people pin up. Nothing that requires a speech.
What are the best employee appreciation event ideas?
The ones where the company is visibly doing something for people rather than at them. For a milestone (an anniversary, the end of a long project, a record quarter) a hosted game show or a paint night gives the afternoon a shape without turning it into an offsite.
Which rentals actually fit in an office?
Tabletop arcade cabinets, one or two casino tables, LED games, a claw machine, a prize wheel, a photo booth and a mobile bar. Send us a floor plan and where the power is and we will place everything around the furniture that cannot move.
Can you work around a normal working day?
Yes. We can install after hours or over a lunch break, keep the noise down while people are still on calls, and strike the same evening. Give us the building rules and the elevator booking and we will work to them.
Do you do Christmas and holiday parties too?
Yes, but those live on our holiday parties page. This page is for the rest of the year: appreciation days, milestones, summer parties and client appreciation events.
What does an office party cost, and is there a minimum?
Our minimum order is $1,500 + HST (holiday parties from mid-November to Christmas: $3,000 + HST), with final pricing based on headcount and how many pieces you want. An in-office celebration for 60 people is usually two or three activities; a full floor is four or five.
Are you insured, and can you provide a certificate?
Yes. We carry a $5,000,000 liability policy and issue certificates of insurance to your venue or building at no charge. Most building managers ask for one before they will let us in, and we handle it for you.
How far in advance should we book an office party?
As soon as your date is set. December fills first by a long way, and elevator bookings in downtown towers need lead time of their own.

Reviews

What our clients say

G'reat customer service -- used them for a corporate event and really appreciated their flexibility and willingness to answer any questions I had along the way. Would definitely recommend
Michelle Pipe
We brought Abbey Road Entertainment in for a corporate event, where we hosted a casino night for approximately 90 people. It was a huge hit, and everyone had a great time. The dealers were great and even made some recommendations based on their past client experiences which I truly appreciated. Would definitely recommend. Thank you!!
Lauren Porter
We have used Abbey Road services for a few of our corporate events, and every time we have been extremely satisfied with their professionalism, their quick responses, and their excellent customer service at the events. We hosted a Casino night, and the tables were authentic and the dealers were personable and professional. I highly recommend.
Janette Page
I worked with Abbey Road for our company event and my Abbey Road prime, Jordan, ensured I was well prepared and provided excellent customer service! All the games were received really well by our group and the onsite staff were great! I will definitely use Abbey Road in the future for my events and recommend them for any corporate event.

Office & Appreciation Events in Toronto & the GTA

Office party ideas and employee appreciation events in Toronto

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

Recognising your people is one of the smartest investments a company makes, and Abbey Road Entertainment has helped Toronto and GTA businesses do it since 2008: over 1,200 events a year. Our office party and employee appreciation rentals turn a thank-you into an actual celebration: Casino Rentals, Arcade Game Rentals, LED Game Rentals, Carnival and Midway Rentals, mobile bartending and photo experiences that get a whole floor relaxing together.

The part most suppliers cannot do is the delivery. In-office party rentals mean working around desks, passenger lifts, narrow corridors and a building manager with rules, and that is routine for us. Everything is turnkey: we deliver, set up, staff and strike, and we can brand it with your company identity.

Read the full guide to office & appreciation events in Toronto

An office party is not a corporate event. The intimacy is what sets it apart. It lets your employees speak and chat and laugh with one another in the place they normally work, and that is precisely why it lands differently. Staff parties and appreciation events are the single largest part of what we do.

In-office party rentals: the bit nobody else wants to do

In-office party rentals in Toronto sound simple until you meet the freight elevator. Most of what we supply can come to you.

Most of what we supply can come to you. We have set up in spaces where stairs were the only option and in towers where everything went up fifty storeys in a freight elevator with a twenty-minute booking. We measure the route before the day, we protect floors and door frames, and we pack out the same night so the desks are back by morning.

Compact pieces suit an office floor best: tabletop arcade cabinets, a blackjack table or two, LED Game Rentals such as light-up ping pong and cornhole, a claw machine, a prize wheel, and a mobile bar. Tell us the floor plan and where the power is and we will place it around what cannot move.

Employee appreciation event ideas

The ideas that work are the ones where the company is visibly doing something for people rather than at them. A casino night office party, with real dealers and a prize draw. An ice cream or popcorn cart through the afternoon. A photo booth with prints people actually pin up. A mobile bartender making something better than what is in the fridge. None of it requires a speech.

For a milestone (an anniversary, the end of a long project, a record quarter) a hosted game show or a paint night gives the afternoon a shape without turning it into an offsite.

Staff party entertainment across Toronto and the GTA

If you are going out rather than staying in, we deliver to venues across Toronto and the GTA and throughout Ontario, and the same rules apply: we own the equipment, our own crew installs it, and attendants can run it so nobody from your team spends the evening explaining how a game works.

How is this different from your holiday party page?

Timing and reason. December and Christmas parties are covered on our holiday parties page. This page is for the rest of the year: appreciation days, milestones, summer parties, client appreciation and anything else where the point is saying thank you.

Can you work around a normal working day?

Yes. We can install after hours or over a lunch break, keep the noise down while people are still on calls, and strike the same evening. Give us the building rules and the elevator booking and we will work to them.
