What Venue Teams Say

"(Cisco Systems) loved the buddy bench build. You are my ABSOLUTE GO-TO for team building so I hope to send more your way. Thanks for making this work and for being SUCH A GREAT PARTNER."

Tiffany Tibbetts · Fairmont Hotel Vancouver

"As a manager who has seen many similar events, NEVER HAVE I BEEN INVOLVED IN ONE THIS GOOD. The actors went beyond just acting. They DREW PEOPLE IN, charmed and entertained, and carried the evening in a FUN AND SPIRITED manner."

Scott Cumming · F&B Manager · Hotel El Dorado

"We have worked with Engagement Unlimited on numerous occasions, and they CONSISTENTLY EXCEED OUR EXPECTATIONS. I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO RECOMMEND THEM to anyone looking for unique and impactful activations. We look forward to partnering with them again in the future!"

Questions Venues Ask

Straight answers for sales and conference-services teams — what we need, what it costs you, and how we work alongside your building.

Do you charge venues a commission or a referral fee?
No. If you send a client our way, we quote them directly and you are out of the middle. Nothing to track, nothing to invoice, and no contract between us. You get a client who had a great night in your building — that is the whole arrangement.
“(Cisco Systems) loved the buddy bench build. You are my ABSOLUTE GO-TO for team building so I hope to send more your way.”— Tiffany Tibbetts · Fairmont Hotel Vancouver
What do you need from our room?
Far less than most entertainment. A standard ballroom, breakout or lounge, and house sound if you have it. We work around your AV rather than on top of it, and we bring our own props, costumes and kit. No stage required and no venue build-out.
“Roger kept our group of Executive Leaders and VP’s CAPTIVATED AND ENTERTAINED. An excellent addition to any conference or team building event.”— Joann Pfeifer · General Manager · Vancouver Marriott Pinnacle Hotel
How much lead time do you need?
Weeks is comfortable. Days is possible — the Sheraton Wall Centre FAM activation went from a phone call to a full run-of-show in about fifteen minutes of planning. If a client springs something on you, call us before you say no.
“We have worked with Engagement Unlimited on numerous occasions, and they CONSISTENTLY EXCEED OUR EXPECTATIONS.— Drew Spinnewyn · Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre Hotel
How big a group can you handle?
Ten to five hundred, depending on the experience. Tell us the number and the room and we will tell you what actually works in it — including when the honest answer is that a different format would land better.
“The feedback has been: MOST FUN EVER, best party in the past few years, so funny, HAVEN’T LAUGHED SO MUCH IN A LONG TIME.— Bobby Brosseau · The Westin Bayshore
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We can send our certificate of insurance to your risk or legal team before anything is confirmed — just ask and we will have it over the same day.
Can you do something for a site inspection, not just a full event?
That is a lot of what we do. Short, high-impact bits built around your building and the client who is touring it, so your property is the one they remember at the end of a four-hotel day. You stay the host who thought of it.
“As a manager who has seen many similar events, NEVER HAVE I BEEN INVOLVED IN ONE THIS GOOD. The actors went beyond just acting. They DREW PEOPLE IN.— Scott Cumming · F&B Manager · Hotel El Dorado
Can we book you for our own staff event?
Often, yes. A team-building day, a holiday social, an associate appreciation night, a sales rally. Same performers and the same production we would bring to one of your clients — and it is the most direct way to see the real thing before you put your name on it with a client.
“THANK YOU very much for all that you did to make our sales rally such a success! I have heard from many people that it was the BEST SALES RALLY EVER.— Helen Pratt · Director, Sales & Marketing · Fairmont Hotels and Resorts Pacific Northwest

For BC Hotel & Conference Venues

When You Recommend Someone, Your Name Goes With It

A client asks what they can do that night. Whatever you say next comes back to you — a great night in your building, or a phone call on Monday. We’ve been the answer inside BC hotels for 34 years, and the venue people who put their name on us wrote down why.

34 YEARS · 2,300+ EVENTS · 92% REBOOKING

We Make You the Hero

A planner tours four hotels in a day. By dinner they blur together — same ballroom, same AV package, same coffee break. What they remember is the one where something happened.

That’s the job we do for a venue. We come in on your site inspections and FAM trips and do something genuinely memorable, so your building is the one that gets talked about on the drive home. You stay the creative one, the interesting one — the host who thought of it. We’re just the people who pulled it off.

And when your client asks “what can we do that night?” — the question that lands on your desk constantly and belongs to nobody — you have a real answer instead of a list of phone numbers.

What We Can Run in Your Room

Everything below runs in a standard ballroom, breakout, or lounge. No stage required, no venue build-out, and we work around your AV — not on top of it.

Game Shows & Team Building

Family Friendly Feud, Pop Trivia, Name That Tune, Bust A Move. 20–500 people, 45–90 minutes. The default answer to “we need something after dinner.”

Murder YOU Mystery

A comedy whodunnit where the guests are the suspects. 90 minutes, works in any layout. The one that turns a seated dinner into an event.

Give-Back Builds

Buddy Benches, MudPie Kitchens, Birthday Boxes, Backpacks. The group builds something real for a local charity. Strong for CSR-minded conferences and for FAM trips — it photographs beautifully.

Emcees, Keynotes & Roving Characters

A professional host to run your room and keep it on time, Roger’s keynote, or costumed characters working the crowd during receptions and site inspections.

Not sure which fits a particular client? Send them our way and we’ll help you figure it out — before you’ve promised anything.

You’ve Probably Already Hosted Us

We’ve run events inside BC hotel and conference venues for 34 years — often for a planner who booked us directly, in a building whose sales team never knew we were there.

Metro Vancouver
Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre · Fairmont Hotel Vancouver · The Westin Bayshore · Vancouver Marriott Pinnacle Downtown · Pan Pacific Vancouver
Okanagan
Hotel El Dorado, Kelowna
Vancouver Island
Fairmont Empress, Victoria

That’s not a client list. Those are buildings where someone on the venue team wrote to tell us how it went.

You Hand It Over. That’s the Whole Job.

The risk in recommending an outside vendor isn’t only that the show is bad. It’s that it becomes yours to manage — a vendor calling your banquet captain, a load-in nobody scheduled, a run-of-show your conference services manager ends up rewriting at four in the afternoon.

That doesn’t happen here. We arrive with our own performers, props, costumes, signage, music and kit. We work around your AV rather than on top of it. We take the room, run it on time, and hand it back. Your team’s job on the night is the job they already had.

Which is the part that matters when it’s your name on the recommendation: the client has a night they talk about, and nobody on your floor spent the evening managing it.

Three Ways This Usually Works

1

You recommend us

A client asks what they can do that night. You send them to us, we quote them directly, you’re out of the middle. No commission to track, no contract between us.

2

You bring us in on a site visit or FAM

You tell us who’s coming and what you want them to remember. We build the bit around your building. This is what we do with the Sheraton Wall Centre.

3

You book us for your own team

Your team-building day, your holiday social, your associate appreciation night, your sales rally. It’s also the most direct way to see the real thing before you put your name on it with a client.

Let’s Talk About Your Room

Tell us your venue, your city, and roughly what you’re thinking. We’ll come back with what fits and what it costs — no pitch deck, no pressure.
