Is Face Painting Worth It for Corporate Events in Toronto? (What You Need to Know)

Planning a corporate event, public event, company picnic, or family day in Toronto?

You might be wondering, “Is face painting actually worth it?”

The answer is simple: Yes, face painting is absolutely worth it.

Here’s why it continues to be one of the most popular add-ons for corporate events across the GTA.

1. It Creates a Fun, Memorable Experience

Face painting isn’t something kids get to do every day. That’s what makes it feel so special.

So now, it becomes:

• A novelty activity

• A moment kids get excited about

• A memory they’ll associate with your event

And that’s what you want: experiences people remember.

2. It Draws Families (and Boosts Attendance)

If your event is open to employees’ families, the public or a larger community, face painting is a huge draw. Promoting it on your website, event page and social media can significantly increase attendance, especially among families with young kids.

3. It Looks Great in Photos

If you have a photographer or videographer on-site, face painting adds:

• Colour

• Personality

• Fun, candid moments

These visuals are perfect for:

• Internal company content

• Social media/website content

• Future event promotion

4. It’s Not Just for Kids

This is something people don’t expect, but love. Adults can get into it too.

Whether it’s a small cheek design, an arm tattoo, company-themed art or just joining in the fun, face painting helps create a light, novelty activity at corporate events.

5. Flexible for All Comfort Levels

Not every child wants a full face design and that’s okay, actually, it might be for the better..

Options include:

• Small cheek art

• Arm designs

• Quick, simple options

This makes it accessible for all ages and comfort levels.

6. You Can Customize It

Want to take it up a level? Custom face painting menus are an option.

This can include:

• Company colours

• Branded designs

• Event-specific themes

Perfect for:

• Brand activations

• Corporate marketing events

(Note: Custom work may come at an additional cost.)

7. The Only Mistake to Avoid: Under-booking

The biggest issue we see at corporate events is clients not booking enough face painters.

Even though one painter can serve a high number of kids…

• Long lines = poor experience

• Kids get tired of waiting

• Parents get frustrated

Best practice: book multiple face painters and shorter timeframes

It’s always better to slightly overbook than deal with long wait times. Once a child is promised face painting, it’s very hard to walk that back if the line is too long.

Final Verdict

So, is face painting worth it for corporate and public events in Toronto? Absolutely.

You get:

• A high-impact, low-effort activity

• Increased attendance

• Better guest experience

• Great photo content

• Happy kids (and parents)
