What Venues Like You Are Saying

Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess

The snack brand activation we hosted brought in a totally different crowd than we usually see on weekends. Not only did we make money on venue rental, but those visitors spent time browsing our plants and several came back the following week. It felt like a genuine win-win for everyone involved.

The Greenhouse Urban Garden Center

Venue Partner

Working with XL Event Lab to host a beverage sampling activation was fantastic. We saw a 40% spike in overall store traffic that weekend, and our regular customers appreciated the chance to discover new products while shopping. The brand partner was professional and their setup didn't disrupt our normal operations at all.

We've hosted three product sampling events through XL Event Lab now, and each one has strengthened our reputation as a hub for experiential marketing. The brands we work with are quality-focused, the logistics are seamless, and our venue staff loves the energy these activations bring. Highly recommend to any venue owner looking to diversify revenue streams.
