Client Review - Interlace Health
"Samantha and her team were AMAZING! We loved the energy they brought to our tradeshow booth.
The cart and cones were branded just as expected, the cotton candy got nothing but compliments, and they just added to the vibe.
Be sure to book Sky Candy for your next corporate, party, wedding, or anything else, and I guarantee (Sky Candy) will deliver. 10/10”

Custom Logo Cotton Candy
We use a custom stencil and powdered sugar to imprint approved logos or artwork directly onto the cotton candy.
Your activation may also include coordinated cotton candy colors, branded cart graphics, custom signage, and other campaign details. Simple, high-contrast artwork generally creates the clearest imprint, and we will review your design before production.
We recommend confirming branding at least two weeks before the event. Rush service may be available depending on the design and event date.
Designed for Busy Exhibit Halls
One cotton candy machine can typically produce approximately 100 servings per hour, depending on the design and guest flow.
For larger crowds, timed giveaways or busy exhibit periods, we can recommend additional machines or staff to keep service moving efficiently.
A typical setup requires:
Space: 4ft x 4ft total working space
Power:10 Amps of dedicated Electical service per machine
Safe operating and serving space
Limited nearby storage for longer activations
We can provide equipment specifications to your exhibit designer, agency or production team before the show.
Multi-Day Service at the Orange County Convention Center
Sky Candy is available for single-day activations, multi-day conventions, and extended exhibit programs.
We can coordinate staffing, supplies, daily access and service hours around exhibit hall schedules, keynote sessions, demonstrations and periods of heavier booth traffic.
Our team can also work directly with your agency, exhibit house, venue or production company regarding:
Certificates of insurance
Vendor registration
Loading and access instructions
Electrical requirements
Setup and breakdown schedules
Exhibit hall and food-service guidelines
We understand that successful trade show service depends on preparation, communication and professional onsite execution.
Trade Show Pricing
Trade show cotton candy experiences generally start at $1650.
Due to unique load-in constraints, shows occurring at the West Concourse of the Orange County Convention Center start at $2000.
Trade shows have more production requirements than other types of events, including day-ahead setup, show registration and badge pickup for staff, and increased requirements for load-in, load-out paperwork, and insurance.
Final pricing depends on which convention center is used, indoor or outdoor service, desired serving capacity, service duration, staffing, customization, and production requirements. Multi-day programs and high-volume events are quoted individually.
The average spend for most clients in Orlando is between $ 2,000 - $ 4,000.
