Elite Special Events

Who We Are

Elite Special Events is a full-service event management company Southern California families, schools, and cities have trusted for more than 20 years. As experienced Orange County event planners, we specialize in creating memorable, professionally managed events for schools, cities, and company parties. From school carnivals and community celebrations to corporate parties and large-scale festivals, our experienced team has the knowledge, equipment, and expertise to bring events to life.

During the winter season, Elite Special Events is a leading producer of Snow Days and Winter Festivals throughout Southern California. Our team creates exciting winter experiences that feature snow play, sledding courses, winter props, and winter-themed inflatables.

Experience You Can Trust with a Family-Owned Event Company

Founded in 2003 by President and CEO Ted Holcomb, Elite Special Events remains a truly family-owned event company, operated with pride and a hands-on approach. Ted, along with his wife and three daughters, is personally involved in the company’s events from planning through execution.

One of the things that truly sets our Southern California event company apart is our experienced and dedicated staff. Many members of our team have been working with us for more than 20 years. Their experience allows them to understand the unique needs of each client and deliver events that are organized, safe, professional, and enjoyable.

We believe that having a knowledgeable, experienced team is essential to producing a successful event. When schools, cities, and organizations choose Elite Special Events, they can have confidence that their event is being handled by professionals who understand the importance of safety, reliability, quality, and exceptional customer service.

We Own Our Equipment

Unlike many event companies, Elite Special Events owns its own equipment. This allows us to maintain greater control over the quality, safety, appearance, and reliability of the products we provide.
 
We are proud to offer some of the most up-to-date, state-of-the-art inflatables, carnival games, attractions, and event equipment available. Our extensive inventory gives us the flexibility to customize events based on each client’s location, budget, theme, and vision.

More Than Just a School Carnival Company in Orange County

As a leading school carnival company in Orange County, school carnivals are one of our specialties — but our services go far beyond the school environment. Elite Special Events provides event services and equipment for a wide variety of community and private events, including:
 
Whether you need a complete event management partner to plan and produce your entire festival or simply need high-quality carnival rides, games, inflatables, and attractions, Elite Special Events can do it all.
 
For more than 20 years, our commitment has remained the same: provide exceptional equipment, experienced professionals, and outstanding events that our clients and their guests will remember.
