What Venues Like You Are Saying

Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess

Working with Sponsor Chicago made it incredibly easy to coordinate a premium beverage sampling activation at our summer festival. The brand brought authentic energy to our grounds, and our attendees were genuinely excited about the product—we had lines forming by mid-afternoon. It was a win-win that actually strengthened our relationship with sponsors for next year.

Lakefront Electric Music Festival

Venue Partner

We've hosted a couple of activations now and the platform really streamlined everything from logistics to payment. The sampling activations brought new faces into our venue who ended up staying for shows and grabbing drinks. It's become a reliable revenue stream without adding stress to our already packed event calendar.

VI

Vinyl & Vibes Music Venue

Venue Partner

The brand activation we hosted brought such great energy to our outdoor summer series—customers were lined up, engaged, and the brand rep was professional and flexible when we needed to adjust timing. Beyond the sponsorship dollars, we gained dozens of new email subscribers and social followers from the event itself.
