Who We Are

Growing up in the entertainment and amusement industry is definitely a unique experience. In the 90's Sam watched her parents grow their business and plan amazing company picnics and festivals. After pursuing a degree in Mathematics and subsequent graduate degrees, Sam made her way back to event planning and bought the company her parents had started decades earlier, Starwalk Events. Soon, she was contacted by several different Art departments that needed help with very specific carnival sets needed for the film industry.

It can be quite difficult to re-create a 1968 state fair.... or a midwestern traveling carnival with operational rides....

Sam uses her vast network of show owners to put together the right items for your set. Do you need a bench seat ferris wheel based on the time period? Would a gondala wheel be better to film the conversation? Do you need equipment that is capable of being modified for a specific stunt? Do we need to install carnival game trailers and food joints as props?

These are all the crazy questions that Sam asks and answers all of the time.

Our Work

For live events, we pride ourselves on the fact that over 90% of our customers are repeat customers. While many of our events are rooted in annual tradition, we enjoy putting different finishing touches on them to keep them new and exciting.

Should we add a large scale midway ride for families to enjoy? What about adding several henna artists and international food trucks to your next event to add an global flair?

For the film industry carnival sets are much more unique, however, we have worked with some of the best in the business! If you are in Art and are tasked with planning a carnival, festival, or a state fair set, let your first call be to Samantha Ashley Productions!
