What Venues Like You Are Saying

Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess

We partnered with a natural beverage brand for a weekend activation, and it was exactly the kind of authentic fit our guests were looking for. The sampling event generated additional revenue through our café while strengthening our reputation as a health-focused destination. Our guest feedback was overwhelmingly positive, and we've already booked follow-up activations.

Bloom & Harvest Wellness Retreat

Venue Partner

Using The Event Shop to host product sampling events has helped us differentiate ourselves from competitors and keeps our regulars engaged. The brands we've worked with have been carefully matched to our audience, which means better conversions and happier customers. It's become a reliable revenue stream and a way to stay top-of-mind in our community.

The Copper Kettle Brewpub

Venue Partner

The Event Shop connected us with three different brands last summer, and each activation brought genuine excitement to our venue. Our vendor traffic increased by 40% on those weekends, and customers kept coming back asking when the next sampling event would be. It's been a fantastic way to keep our market fresh and give our community something new to experience.
