Arcade and Game Rentals

The amount of activities we can participate in now thanks to technology is amazing.  What was conceived only a decade ago now is taken for granted in our homes and at parties.  Why not take advantage of this! Fun planners has a huge inventory of different arcade classics and modern virtual reality environments to engage anybody at your next event.

If you’re looking for a few smaller additions to your event to supplement the fun, why not try grabbing one of our air hockey tables or arcade classics such as NBA Jams and NFL Blitz.  A Foosball Table or a Dome Hockey Table might be just the nostalgic activity that guests will be raving about while connecting again with their childhood.

If you want to go for the big games that will really have your guests cutting each other in lines to participate in, Fun Planners has a selection of those as well.  Virtual Reality will give you the chance for realistic fishing, golf simulation, interactive bowling, racing, shooting, snowboarding, and surfing.  We even give you the chance to play “Rock Band” on stage or commence a lifelike pit crew challenge like the members of a NASCAR Speedway.

To learn more about our huge selection of arcade games and virtual reality, contact Fun Planners today.  Call us today at 407-880-3521.

Event Planning with Photography and Videography

Have you ever want to know what you would look like with a beard? If you have a beard, have you ever wondered what you would look like with a beard on top of a dinosaur? This can all be brought to you using green screen photography, which makes an absolutely fantastic addition to any event in Orlando you have planned!  Along with green screen photography, there are digital photo booths, boogie heads, advanced videography, or just a good ol’ professional photographer.

Adding these activities to your event not only brings fun, interactive features, but also captures the finest moments that everyone can relive for years to come.  This two-fold addition brings a dynamic to your event planning in Orlando that can’t be matched by many other traditional activities, such as pin the tail on the hedgehog.

Think of Fun Planners today when you begin organizing your next event.  Or call right now!  407-880-3521.

Maximizing the Traffic of your Grand Opening

Published by funplanner under Events, Interactive Games

If you’re opening a new restaurant, pet shop, key chain kiosk, or business in general, you want your grand opening to be as spectacular and attractive as possible.  Alongside giveaways and prizes, having fun and interactive components to your grand opening will not only draw huge crowds to the event, but will make the event (and your business) more memorable to those who attend.  Here are some ideas for a successful grand opening:

  • Prizes and giveaways are fun, but why not take them to the next level?  Cash cube machines can use coupons instead of cash so participants can flail for free swag and products.  Customized prize wheels encourage onlookers to hoot and cheer as the wheel comes to a halt.
  • For more physical activities, putting challenges can be set up.  Visitors are attracted to rock walls, and this addition to your grand opening can be seen from a far distance, which will draw more people to your event.
  • Signage is very important for promoting your grand opening.  If it doesn’t look appealing and exciting, people are more likely to dismiss it.

Fun Planners can expertly customize your grand opening, and even create games specifically for your event!

Creative Fundraising Helps Non-Profit Organizations Across Central Florida

Fun Planners specializes in Florida non-profit fund-raising events. Below is a re-post of several very successful examples of our fund-raising events. When planning a fund-raising event, think outside the box!  Throw a luau complete with a surf machine! You want to impress your guests and make a lasting impression so they will be eager to attend next year’s fund-raising event too.

In a time when fund-raising is of essential need, Fun Planners is right there to help make central Florida Non-Profit organizations not only meet their goals, but many times exceed them. We at Fun Planners wanted to share some of our unbelievable fund-raising successes that we assisted with over the last few months.

Planning a fundraiser is easy when Fun Planners is involved with our expert strategic techniques and knowledgeable Event planning staff . We have raised millions of dollars over the past 10 years with a wide array of organizations using Poker Tournaments, Casinos, Carnivals, and Inflatable events.

We thought out of the box on this one in which Fun Planners and Space Coast Early Intervention Center – (a premier non-profit center that supports the care and maximum development of young children challenged by disabilities) were able to accomplish a team building activity that surpassed anything we could have ever imagined. Alongside SCEIC, the Brevard County businesses, and the Space Coast community, Fun Planners assisted in the “Corporate Challenge” Team Building event on June 13, 2009, raising $12,000.00 to aid these children and their families who need it the most in these hardest of times.

UCF in collaboration with Fun Planners accomplished an overwhelming attainment with the “Knight-Thon” event held on February 21, 2009. This was a huge success and involved 350 participants that engulfed themselves into an overnight extravaganza of exciting events such as a dance competition, Carnival Games, Casino Games, Mechanical Bull, Rock Wall, Surf Machine, along with some Air Hockey, Foosball, and Pool tables. This great fund-raising idea from UCF and Fun Planners with the expertise planning of the Fun Planners staff surpassed the goals and netted a whopping $53,000.00 which was more than double the previous years contributions. This $53,000.00 was raised in the name of the Children’s Miracle Network and was shared by two wonderful organizations – Arnold Palmer and Shands Children’s Hospital.

If you or your organization needs assistance in planning a fundraising event please give Fun Planners a call and let us help you surpass your goals.

Rock Star Teambuilding Challenge

Everyone Can Be A Rock Star!
 

If you told me a year ago that an XBOX 360 and a Wii were going to be a couple of the hottest items in the interactive games rental industry I would not have believed you.  Everyone wants to play either Wii sports or Rock Band at every event but of course if anyone in the Special Events Industry is going to rent a standard game we have to take it to the next level and create something bigger and more grandiose than ever imagined. Welcome to the Rock Star challenge! Just like Karaoke night…but 1,000x cooler!

Fun Planners has created a rocking program that creates an energetic show that involves every guest.  With a few simple “Rock Band” interactive game stations set up around the room or on the “Rock Star” stage with Truss, flashing lights, speakers, controllers that are REAL guitars, a REAL drum set with cymbals that work and props…  just a little something to make every performer feel like a real star.  The entire event is hosted by a Rocking MC Johnny LathumMr. Jason Logan” dressed in his Rock Star best playing music , music videos and sound effects in between bands.  The show climaxes with the roar of the crowd cheering on their favorite band waiting for the newest Rock Stars of America to me named.

Rock Star Challenge is a great teambuilding, student event, networking event, or  hospitality event. Everyone always gets involved and has a great time.  Any age group from teen to 60’s and any group type whether it be software writing  guys or energetic sales people, all get into the fun and excitement of the challenge.  Everyone gets into caricature too, with fun additions like airbrush tattoos, crazy nail art, fun props too.  And they can commemorate the event with a picture of their band on a “Rocking Stones” Magazine cover or their very own “World Tour” T-shirt.  There are songs to fit any demographic or era. And the staff and MC will make sure everyone has a Rocking Good Time!   If you are looking for an activity that will Rock your next event in Orlando, central Florida or beyond, I think you have found it!

Rocking out! april_2_118  photo1  img_0311
