What Venues Like You Are Saying

Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess

We partnered with a premium coffee brand for a weekend sampling event and were blown away by the turnout. The activation brought in over 300 new visitors to our venue, and many of them ended up booking our space for private events. It's a win-win that helped us fill dates we usually struggle with.

The Harlem Rooftop Collective

Venue Partner

Hosting the snack brand sampling was perfect for our Wednesday evening crowd. Our customers appreciated discovering new products, and the brand rep was professional and respectful of our space. The activation felt organic to what we already do, and we're definitely interested in hosting more.

UR

Urban Roots Community Market

Venue Partner

A beverage company came through for a Friday night tasting event and it genuinely elevated our atmosphere. Our regulars stayed longer, tried new drinks, and the energy was fantastic. Plus, we earned a nice revenue share that covered our overhead for the evening—this is exactly the kind of partnership we were looking for.
