How Event Captain filled Bananas’ Axe Cabana’s Calendar with Corporate Events

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.

Bananas' 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.

They had no clear way to consistently get in front of corporate event planners.

Before Event Captain, Bananas' 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

With Event Captain, Bananas' Axe Cabana now has a direct pipeline to high-value corporate planners actively looking to book events, all visible in one place. Stuart can see how many have events planned in the upcoming quarter and know follow-up is happening at the right time, turning inquiries into bookings and bookings into repeat business.

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

In just a few months with Event Captain, Bananas' 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.
