Corporate Family Event Entertainment in Chicago
Create something employees and their families can enjoy together.
When employees bring spouses, children, and family members to a company event, the experience has to work for more than the employee.
Dale Obrochta creates visual, interactive moments that give children something to enjoy, adults something to react to, and families something they can experience together.
The company invited the family. Make the experience feel like it was planned for them too.
Request Event InformationA Company Family Event Has More Than One Audience
Employees already have a connection to the company. Their spouses may know only a few people. Their children may not know anyone at all.
That makes a family event different from an employee-only celebration. The experience needs to give people with very different relationships to the company an easy way to enjoy the same event.
Dale gives families something they can share instead of separating the adults from the kids.
One Experience That Can Cross Generations
Children understand the visual appeal immediately. Adults enjoy the creativity, humor, skill, and reactions happening around them.
A child may become the center of the interaction. A parent laughs at the reaction. Someone takes a photo. Another family walks over to see what is happening.
The balloon artistry creates the opening, but the shared family moment is the real result.
It does not have to be entertainment for the kids while the adults stand somewhere else.

Bring Your Child to Work Day & Workplace Family Days
Some companies hold Bring Your Child to Work Day during the traditional spring timeframe. Others move the experience into the summer so children can participate without missing school.
Either way, the person planning the day has the same challenge: create something children will enjoy that still fits naturally inside a professional workplace.
Dale can give children an approachable activity to participate in while parents, coworkers, and other families become part of the interaction around them. The experience can fit into an office, corporate facility, professional firm, company campus, or summer workplace family program.
Give children a reason to enjoy being there while keeping the experience appropriate for the workplace.
What It Looks Like in the Event
The Child Gets Interested
Color, movement, humor, and seeing something take shape give younger guests an immediate reason to stop and participate.
The Adults Join the Moment
Parents, spouses, grandparents, and coworkers react, laugh, take photos, join the conversation, and become part of what is happening.
The Family Shares It
Instead of experiencing separate parts of the event, family members have something they enjoyed together and can talk about afterward.
The Family Is Part of the Employee Experience
A company picnic, family day, anniversary, open house, or employee celebration may be one of the few times employees bring the people from their life outside work into the company environment.
When spouses and children have something they can genuinely participate in, the event feels less like an employee function they were invited to attend and more like an experience that included them from the beginning.
The employee works for the company. The family should still feel like the event was meant for them too.
Corporate Family Events Where This Works Well
This approach works especially well when employees are invited to bring spouses, children, grandchildren, or other family members into the company experience.
