Free Ride
Free Ride

To get guests to and from the event easily and safely, Lyft lets companies cover the cost of an entire ride or offer a coupon code good for as much as $20 (valid only for rides to or from the venue on the night of the party). The ride-share service will only bill for rides used. For example, if a company has 100 guests and everyone receives $20 in Lyft credit, but only 20 people use the credit, the company will only be charged $400. A pricing breakdown by city and ride estimates between two locations are available on lyft.com.

“Lighting, projection, and mapping are playing a major role in decor and theme development,” says Lizz Torgovnick, chief creative officer at New York-based event agency Sequence. “Clients are open to these larger-scale digital ideas since they can be seen across the room and fill the space in an immersive way. We’re using it to enhance and amplify the physical decor elements, which is a different way to use their event decor budget.”
