At Wizard Studios, we are exceedingly confident in our capabilities to produce incredible events, even if your organization doesn’t have a designated event-worthy venue. With the right event team, any office or commercial space can be transformed into a successful event venue that’ll increase revenue and leave an indelible impression on your guests. 

The concept of converting a commercial space into a spectacular event venue inspires us. We know just how much an event space can affect the experience as a whole, so the chance to transform commercial and non-traditional event spaces is a challenge we take on with gusto. Reinventing an event space with our many capabilities is one of our greatest assets. We can find solutions in any space imaginable, allowing gatherings of all sizes to happen in large venues, commercial spaces, or one-off, unique, and inventive spaces. 

Wizard Studios Project Manager, James McKenna, shares how Wizard Studios transforms commercial spaces into incredible event venues that are guaranteed to leave an indelible impression on your guests. “As a project manager, my primary objective is to take our clients’ event dreams and make them a reality.” If you want to learn how James and our team get it done every time, keep reading!

STEP ONE: CHOOSE YOUR VENUE

“When choosing the right event space, it’s important to think about what kind of experience you want your guests to have. Do you want something elegant or casual? Is your event family-friendly, for your business partners, or potential donors? “To use some of our partner venues as examples, the Prince George Ballroom is a great space for a polished and elegant evening. If you prefer a blank canvas, a white box space like 548 West 22nd Street might be more your style. There are many venues to choose from, but Wizard Studios has a great portfolio of partner venues you can count on. No matter where your event takes place, you can count on Wizard Studios to create the highest level of events, every time.”

STEP TWO: PLAN

We asked James to share with us what goes into transforming a new space before you start to build and set up. Our team works diligently to fully examine the space and design a plan that works the first time so you feel confident in us. “The Wizard team ensures that all parties are aligned on the vision for the event. We then create detailed site drawings to give the client a true understanding of how much impact technical and creative elements will have on a space and what the transformation will look like.” It’s essential for Wizard Studios to communicate with our clients and we take great pride in making your event dreams come true. 

STEP THREE: TRANSFORM

But what if you want to host your event in your office or commercial space? Wizard Studios has got you covered! With the use of custom fabrication, specialty lighting, and staging, we can completely overhaul your current space and turn it into an event masterpiece. 

• Custom Fabrication: Beginning with your ideas, we evolve your project from its conception to complete custom builds. “We create custom fabrications and branded builds that complement the space and help the transformation.” So wherever your event is, custom fabrications built in our scenic shop will draw attention away from the familiar commercial space and draw attention to the new atmosphere. 

• Lighting:  “Lighting can be as simple as entry and exit lighting or a stage wash, but we love to create entire experiences with dozens of lights and unique designs at your disposal.” We know just how to use lighting to highlight the many features of an event. Our team will work with you to make sure the general feeling of your event is aligned with your company or organization by implementing the right lighting to set the tone of your event. 

• Staging: “From staging that simply elevates your event’s speakers and performers to custom builds that go far beyond the norm of a conventional all-black stage deck, we can do it all!” You’d be surprised to see how much a venue can transform with our staging capabilities.

A GRAND ENTRANCE

A grand entrance is another tool we use to help guests forget that they are entering into a commercial space and instead, walking into an experience they’ll never forget. “The important thing about the entrance to an event is making sure the guests know what they are walking into. Creating a sense of suspense or excitement before stepping through the door is pivotal to creating memorable experiences.”

There you have it! With the help of Wizard Studios, any commercial space can be transformed into the ultimate event venue of your dreams. Contact Wizard Studios today and let’s transform your next event!
