What Venues Like You Are Saying

Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess

As a nonprofit community hub, we're always looking for ways to enhance member experiences without adding costs, and this partnership did exactly that. Our members felt valued getting exclusive early access to new products, and the brand's activation fee helped us fund some much-needed equipment upgrades. It's rare to find a win-win situation like this in the nonprofit world.

Brickstone Community Center

Venue Partner

We were hesitant about hosting a product sampling event at first, but it turned out to be one of the best decisions for our gallery. The activation brought in a completely new crowd during an otherwise slow afternoon, and many of those visitors came back for our regular exhibitions. Plus, our existing art community appreciated the fresh energy and conversation starters the brand brought to our space.

The Velvet Canvas Gallery

Venue Partner

The sampling activation we hosted was perfect for our demographic—our morning regulars were genuinely excited to try the products, and it created natural conversation throughout the day. We appreciated how smoothly everything was organized, and honestly, the extra beverage sales we generated during the event more than justified giving up a corner of our space for a few hours.
