How Event Captain filled Bananas' Axe Cabana’s calendar with corporate events
📍Orlando, Florida
Bananas’ Axe Cabana is an axe-throwing venue in Orlando with a tropical, tiki-inspired vibe. Guests can enjoy island-themed décor, drinks, giant games, and high-energy axe-throwing lanes, making it a fun spot for birthdays, nights out, and corporate team-building events.
Banana Axe Cabana owner Stuart knew that while birthday parties and walk-ins were great, corporate events were the real revenue driver. Bigger budgets, mid-week bookings, repeat business — everything a venue dreams of.
The problem?
They had no clear way to consistently get in front of corporate event planners.
The Challenge
Before Event Captain, Banana Axe Cabana:
- Relied on word-of-mouth and local buzz to bring in group events
- Had no direct line to the corporate planners they knew would love the venue
- Struggled to turn occasional corporate bookings into a steady revenue stream
“We knew corporate events were our highest-value bookings, but we didn’t have a reliable way to find and stay connected with the people planning them.” – Stuart Bogaty, Founder Bananas’ Axe Cabana
The Solution
With Event Captain, Banana Axe Cabana now has a direct pipeline to high-value corporate planners actively looking to book events.
Here’s how:
- Targeted outreach to the right decision-makers in local companies
- Booked calls with planners ready to discuss events
- More mid-week bookings from high-value clients
“It was like magic. I went from not knowing where to find corporate planners to being flooded with event requests and venue visits.” – Stuart Bogaty, Founder Bananas’ Axe Cabana
The Results
In just a few months with Event Captain, Banana Axe Cabana has:
- 5X’d the number of corporate event planners they’re in active communication with
- Built a steady stream of inbound corporate event requests
- Landed more mid-week bookings from high-value clients
And it’s not just about volume — it’s about the quality of those leads.
“These aren’t random inquiries. These are planners with budgets, timelines, and a real need for what we offer.” Stuart Bogaty, Founder Bananas’ Axe Cabana
