What Venues Like You Are Saying

Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess

The activation we hosted for a natural supplement company felt really aligned with our community values, and that authenticity made all the difference. Our members appreciated the thoughtful brand fit, and the event sparked so many conversations about health and wellness. It added a unique dimension to our studio beyond just classes.

WE

Wellness Haven Yoga Studio

Venue Partner

We've hosted three product sampling events through UpcomingEvents.com and each one brought fantastic energy to our Saturday crowds. The brands were genuinely interested in connecting with our audience, and our vendors noticed a real boost in customer engagement on those days. It's been a win-win for everyone involved.

Riverside Farmers Market Collective

Venue Partner

Finding the right brands to partner with used to be hit or miss, but this platform made it so much easier. We hosted a premium tea brand last month and not only did we get paid for the space, but it also introduced 200+ new people to our roastery who've since become regulars. Couldn't ask for a better outcome.
