EVENT CONCEPTS ——-

What could live inside the machine

Every event has a story. These are a few ways we've imagined the machine coming alive for the moments that deserve more than a favor bag.

  • BACHELORETTE | Till Death Do Us Part

    A dark-romantic send-off for the bride who knows exactly who she is. Black lace energy, love letters to chaos, and one last night of glorious mischief, all of it dispensed from the machine.

    INSIDE THE MACHINE: Custom rolling papers, temporary tattoos and matching stickers

  • BABY SHOWER / IVF JOURNEY | She Finally Arrived

    For the parents-to-be who waited, hoped, and earned every single moment of this celebration. Original artwork that honors the full journey, not just the destination, in the hands of every guest.

    INSIDE THE MACHINE: Custom sticker sheets, mini affirmation cards, illustrated milestone art prints.

  • BOOKSTORE / LITERARY EVENT | For the Bookish

    A love letter to the readers, the romantics, and the ones who've lived entire lives between two covers. Trope-coded, beautifully tactile, and absolutely worth the impulse reach.

    INSIDE THE MACHINE: Trope temporary tattoos, bookish stickers and bookmarks

RENTAL DETAILS ——

What to know before you inquire

  • The BLK Wheelhouse art vending machine is available for events across New York City and nearby areas including Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and select locations in New Jersey.

    The machine is designed for indoor events or covered venues where guests can comfortably gather around and interact with the installation.

    Common placements include:
    • Wedding receptions
    • Bachelorette parties
    • Baby showers
    • Brand activations
    • Markets and bookstores
    • Private celebrations and milestone events

    The machine functions as both an interactive art piece and a guest experience, inviting people to take home mini artwork connected to the event.

    Transportation, delivery, and setup logistics are confirmed during booking.

  • Standard rentals are designed for events lasting 3–5 hours, which allows enough time for guests to discover the machine and participate throughout the celebration.

    The rental includes:

    • Delivery and setup
    • Stocking the machine with curated items
    • Simple operating instructions
    • A bowl of quarters for guests to use
    • Pickup after the event

    The machine works best when positioned in a visible area where guests naturally gather, near a bar, lounge area, or entry point.

    Extended time or multi-day installations may be available for brand activations or retail partnerships.

  • There are two ways to create your vending machine experience.

    Studio Editions (faster turnaround)
    Choose from existing BLK Wheelhouse artwork that can be personalized with names, dates, or event details.

    Examples include:
    • Wedding or event stickers
    • Illustrated keepsake prints
    • Temporary tattoos
    • Bookmarks or mini art cards

    Fully Custom Commission (most immersive)
    Artwork is created specifically for your event theme, story, or brand.

    Examples include:
    • Custom illustrations based on the couple, host, or event theme
    • Trope-inspired bookish designs for literary events
    • Custom affirmation or milestone artwork for baby showers
    • Brand artwork for activations or product launches

    Every machine is curated to feel cohesive with the tone of the event.

  • Lead time depends on how customized the artwork and machine experience will be.

    Typical timelines:

    Studio Editions:
    Approximately 2–3 weeks

    Custom Artwork Builds:
    Approximately 4–6 weeks

    Large brand activations or complex installations may require additional design and production time.

    If your event is coming up soon, reach out anyway, sometimes existing designs can be adapted quickly.

    Early inquiries ensure the best opportunity to develop something truly unique.

  • Every item inside the machine is designed, illustrated, or curated by BLK Wheelhouse.

    The goal is to create objects that feel worth taking home, rather than disposable event swag.

    Items may include:

    • Art prints
    • Custom stickers
    • Temporary tattoos
    • Illustrated keepsake cards
    • Bookmarks
    • Mini affirmation cards

    Each piece is designed to feel like a small artwork connected to the moment being celebrated.

    The machine becomes part of the story of the event, a place where guests leave with something meaningful.

  • The quarters are provided as part of the experience, guests do not need to pay.

    Think of it as a playful way to discover a small keepsake from the night.
