Los Angeles Party Designs

What Los Angeles Party Designs does

Los Angeles Party Designs is a Southern California-based, full-service event planning, design, decor, and production company founded in 1983 by the Karrenbrock family. The company serves two primary customer segments: enterprise/corporate clients (Fortune 500 companies, premier hotels, large real estate firms, associations, and professional services firms) requiring multi-day conferences, galas, product launches, branding events, and tradeshows; and individual social clients requiring weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs, birthdays, anniversaries, and other life celebrations. Its service offering is delivered as an integrated single engagement covering event planning, professional production, innovative decor, floral design, dramatic lighting, and unique entertainment, supported by a single dedicated event producer per engagement.

The company's core operational asset is an all-inclusive design studio backed by an extensive on-site warehouse inventory of props, furniture, lighting, chandeliers, draping, staging, AV equipment, bars, canopies, fountains, game booths, linens, and signage. This vertical integration allows it to transform non-standard spaces (parking lots, parking garages, empty ballrooms, conference rooms) into themed event environments. Notable projects include the Millennium Biltmore 100th Anniversary historical recreation, the Visit California Poppies Awards at The Langham Pasadena, a 5-day international conference for 3,000 guests, a 500+ person annual Halloween event for a major LA real estate firm, the largest booth at the NAMM tradeshow, and galas at St Regis Monarch Beach.

The business operates on a project-based professional services model with quote-based pricing tailored to each engagement's scope, design requirements, venue, and guest count. Revenue is generated through one-off event fees rather than recurring contracts. The company acquires customers through direct sales, venue and caterer referrals, and content marketing via its blog and social media channels (Facebook, Instagram). Geographic scope is regional, concentrated in Southern California including Los Angeles, Orange County, and Palm Springs, with occasional projects in Arizona. The company is privately held by the founding family with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or acquisitions across its 40+ year history.
