Maximizing Sponsorship Opportunities: Creative Ways To Monetize Your Event
In today’s event landscape, sponsors seek unique ways to connect with guests and showcase their brand memorably. We help design and brainstorm a range of sponsorship opportunities that go beyond traditional banners and posters, allowing brands to be part of the experience. Here are some of the best ways to maximize sponsorship at our venue, and we’re always open to hearing your ideas and implementing them alongside you!
1. Vinyl Floor Branding
Our polished cement floors are ideal for vinyl branding. Sponsors can feature their logo in the entryway, bar area, or scattered across high-traffic spots, creating a memorable impact from the moment guests arrive. The dance floor and hallway to the lower level lobby artwork gallery are additional prime spots, maximizing brand visibility.
2. Customized Photobooth
Our in-house photobooth can be customized with a vinyl wrap and digital frames, allowing sponsors to make a lasting impression. With branded overlays, hashtags, and QR codes, sponsors can engage guests long after the event as they share photos online, boosting brand awareness while providing entertainment during the event!
3. Exclusive Bar Sponsorships
Our two custom-built bars, along with options for outdoor bars, offer prime branding locations. Sponsors can create custom coasters, branded drink stirrers, or even sponsor a full setup with their logo prominently displayed on the bar itself—perfect for brands that love a party vibe!
4. Signature Drinks
Naming a signature drink after a sponsor is a fun, interactive way to promote their brand. Branded signage at the bar, custom drink names, garnishes, or glassware provide an extra personal touch for guests.

With two built-in projectors, sponsors can feature logos or video loops projected during events, providing premium visibility and keeping the brand top of mind for guests.

A branded selfie station with props, mirrors, and balloon backdrops is a fantastic way to engage guests. Our vendor partners, like Ellie and Piper, create incredible balloon installations with custom branded vinyl that guests love sharing on social media.

Outdoor areas are perfect for branded installations, such as custom murals, benches, or garden-style arches. These installations create scenic photo opportunities while organically promoting sponsor brands.

Branded name tags, badges, or lanyards allow sponsors to be “worn” by each guest, offering continuous exposure. This approach is especially effective for corporate events and networking.
15. Sponsored Event Photography or Live Streaming
For events with photography or live-streaming, sponsors can be featured as the official sponsor in frames, credits, and post-event highlights. This adds professional exposure to the sponsor and enhances their brand’s reach beyond the event.

Our hallway, equipped with a museum hanging system, offers sponsors a gallery-style branding opportunity. Sponsors can use this space to showcase their award-winning products, company milestones, or impactful visuals that resonate with the event theme. For an extra touch, add a sponsored red carpet experience, complete with a branded backdrop, allowing guests to enjoy a VIP photo moment as they walk through. This setup provides a sophisticated and immersive brand experience, ideal for capturing memorable photos and creating a standout impression.
