Beyond Dinner and Drinks: Creative Ways to Use Our Event Space for Corporate Gatherings

It’s easy to assume every corporate event looks the same: drinks, dinner, a couple of speeches, and that’s it. But at Bonaventure Brewing Co., we’ve hosted a wide range of gatherings that go way beyond the standard reception. Our flexible event spaces, full-service setup, and experienced team allow us to help companies create events that are memorable, interactive, and fun.
If you’re looking for something that feels fresh and engaging, here’s a peek at how past clients have used our space in creative ways.

Real Events We’ve Hosted (Yes, These Actually Happened)

• A beer pong tournament with custom team brackets and branded cups
• Karaoke nights with lounge seating, private stage setup, and full AV
• Live fire dancers and strolling performers for a networking gala
• T-shirt design stations as part of a company activation and product launch
• A casual rooftop-style mixer with jumbo games like Jenga and Connect Four
• A GIF and photo booth station with logo overlays and branded props

Some clients come in with a full plan. Others ask us to help them build the experience from the ground up. Either way, our team is ready to support the vision and make sure everything flows smoothly onsite.

We Support More Than Just Receptions
We’ve designed our Los Angeles event space to be more than a food and beverage backdrop. Our garden patio and adjoining bar area can flex to support:

• Team-building workshops or field day-style games
• Trivia or game show–themed nights
• Recognition or awards ceremonies
• Product and service launch parties
• Interactive recruiting events and social mixers
• Speaker panels, welcome remarks, or light programming with mic access

We also offer vendor access, AV support, and timeline planning. You bring the goal, we’ll help with the layout and flow to bring it to life.

What’s Included With Every Booking
When you host an event at Bonaventure Brewing Co., you’re not starting with an empty box. Here’s what’s included with every event rental:

• Event setup and full breakdown
• Dedicated staffing, bartenders, and event support
• Garden lounge furniture, cocktail tables, and bistro lighting
• Built-in sound system with microphone access
• Indoor and outdoor layout flexibility
• Full catering and bar service with vegetarian and dietary accommodations

We’re happy to coordinate with outside vendors, DJs, performers, photo booth teams, and branded decor providers. We’ll also provide parking maps, vendor access instructions, and any signage support needed to make guest and staff flow easy.
