How Voodoo Cellar doubled private event bookings with Event Captain
📍Boise, Idaho
Voodoo Cellar is a 21+ underground bar in downtown Boise built for groups that want something different from a standard night out. With games, drinks, private party space, and a distinctive cellar atmosphere, it already had the ingredients for memorable corporate and private events.
The challenge was turning that potential into a steadier stream of bookings.
The Challenge
Before working with Event Captain, Voodoo Cellar was already booking private events.
But not at the volume they wanted.
“We were booking private events, but not nearly as many as we wanted to.” – Dave Hermansen, Owner of Voodoo Cellar
The Solution
Event Captain helped Voodoo Cellar create a more proactive system for generating private event demand.
Instead of waiting for people to find the venue on their own, Event Captain helped introduce Voodoo Cellar to more corporate and private party prospects who were actively looking for memorable places to host events.
The process gave Dave and his team a steadier flow of inquiries without requiring them to take on the time-consuming work of prospecting, outreach, and follow-up themselves.
The Results
The results were significant.
“After getting Event Captain involved, we have at least 5X as many inquiries and are booking about double as many private events as before.”
That growth meant Voodoo Cellar was not just seeing more interest. They were converting that interest into real bookings.
More inquiries created more chances to fill the calendar. More qualified conversations gave the team more opportunities to sell the space. And more private event bookings helped turn an already unique bar into a stronger revenue engine.
For Voodoo Cellar, Event Captain helped move private events from an occasional revenue source into a more consistent growth channel.
“I strongly recommend Event Captain if you are looking to book more corporate & private parties at your bar or restaurant. They are extremely professional and responsive, and they get serious results.”
For Dave Hermansen, the value was simple: more inquiries, more bookings, and a professional partner that delivered measurable results.
